Multiple Appendices

Post by Shirin »

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I am writing my masters thesis, which is comprised of chapters in Lyx. I have 4 appendices, and each one is a separate file, with the document class 'book'. Each appendix is a chapter. Now, in my parent file, when I include the 4 appendices files in my TOC, instead of appearing as Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, etc, they all appear as Appendix A, Appendix A, Appendix A and so on. This did not happen with my main chapters (once included in the parent file, the headings changed to Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc). How do I remedy this issue with the appendices, would anyone know? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Multiple Appendices

Post by 5gon12eder »

This is a trivial assumption, but have you enclosed all appendices into one appendix environment like this

Code: Select all

\begin{appendix}
  \input{lorem}
  \input{ipsum}
  \input{dolor}
\end{appendix}
then the problem shouldn't occur. Or did you put a

Code: Select all

\begin{appendix}
  % ...
\end{appendix}
into each of the appendix files. If you did that then the chapters within every appendix environment will start with A. (And hence if there is only one chapter in each appendix file, all will be named A.)
I'm using pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian).
