General ⇒ Appendix heading on same page as appendix content

[zlya]

Hello,

I am writing a thesis in using report class. Currently each chapter starts with a chapter heading on a separate page from the main text of the chapter, which I'm not too bothered about until I get to the Appendix when each appendix starts on its own page as well.

Is there anyway to change either both chapter and appendix or just the appendix so I can have:

***
Appendix A

stuff in appendix A
***

on the same page? My appendices are quite short, and having a separate titlepage for them seems ridiculous.

Right now the appendices are in the form:

\appendix
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc
\chapter{Appendixtitle}
\include{file with appendix stuff}

Thanks.

Also, I'm relatively new and not interested in spending the next few days working this out (since thesis is due in a week) so quick and dirty solutions preferred. Thankyou!

Hi Ziya,

welcome to the board!
In this minimal working example it works like desired:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{appendix}
\begin{document}
\appendix
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc
\chapter{Appendixtitle}
Text
\chapter{Another Appendix}
Text
\end{document}

Just don't repeat \appendix, \appendixpage and \addappheadtotoc, use it only once.

Stefan

Thank you for the quick and extremely helpful response! My problem seems to be in the use of \include.

When I try:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{appendix}
\begin{document}
\appendix
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc
\chapter{Appendixtitle}
\include{text}
\chapter{Another Appendix}
Text
\end{document}

with another file text.tex:

I get the page break. This is not actually a problem, I can just copy over all my appendices into the main file when I'm finished drafting, but good to know.

Thanks again!

Oh, I can just move the chapter titles into the included material can't I? Sorry, I've been writing for some time, brain failing a bit.

Yes, you could copy the \chapter-lines into the included tex file to fix that. Or use \input instead of \include, \input doesn't cause a page break.
