General ⇒ Appendix

[esojli]

Hi all,

I am having a stupid problem with Appendix. I am using a report format with chapters and sections for my thesis. I need the appendix to be as the last section of the chapter labeled A Appendix 1 and also appear in the loc. I have tried
\renewcommand{\thesection}{A-\arabic{section}}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\section{\label{Ch1App1}Appendix 1. Bootstrap Procedure}

I get a section heading as A-1 Appendix 1 instead of A. How do I get rid of -1?

The ensuing chapter though has sections that start as 1, 2 and 3 instead of 2.1, 2.2 etc. What I did is using the following command:
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\setcounter{section}{0}
Any hints of how to get the chapter number there?

Thank you!

All you have to do is switch to the appendix to get the desired headings.

Code: Select all

\appendix
\section{Bootstrap Procedure}

Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for the reply Torsten but it doesn't do it. That is how I had it at the beginning and I read the suggestions for change.

The problem is that I have an appendix at the end of one chapter (as a section) and then a new chapter starts after it. If I use what you suggested the second chapter is labelled as B instead of 2.

Any other tips?
Thanks again.

Your usage of the term "appendix" in this case is very misleading, because these last sections aren't really appendices from my understanding. But you can try a simple redefinition of the counter for the last section.

Code: Select all

{
\setcounter{section}{0}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}
\section{Bootstrap Procedere}
}

This has to be inserted wherever you want such type of section.
