Page Layout ⇒ Double "Appendices"

[danbaatar]

I'm trying to use the appendix package to add a header to the appendix section of a document I am writing (dissertation proposal).

When I use the \appendixpage command, I get several errors, that I think have to do with the fact that I am using a non-standard document class. In the end, though, I do get what I want, a heading above the first appendix that says "Appendices". Unfortunately, I also get an extra blank page with just the word "Appendices" on it.

I'd prefer the heading that comes right before the first appendix, but either one would be alright, as long as there was just one of them.

Here is my MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{byuPhDprop}
\usepackage{appendix}

\begin{document}
  \section{Test Section}
  Section text.
  \appendix
  \appendixpage
  \section{AppendixTitle}
  Appendix text
\end{document}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
dan

I've done a bit more digging and still haven't found anything. Does anyone have any ideas?

The appendix package says that it typesets this header with the style of \part from the document class. Why not just use \part*, in which case you don't need the package?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{byuPhDprop}

\begin{document}
    \section{Test Section}
    Section text.
    \clearpage% leave out if you don't want to start on a new page
    \appendix
    \part*{Appendixes}
    \section{AppendixTitle}
    Appendix text
\end{document}

Thanks, that worked perfectly.
