Hide Section Number in Appendix

Post by upani1982 »

Hi All,

I want to hide the section number in the Appendix. When i use command \section*{Appendix A}. The section number is not appearing But the table number in this section are taking values from the main text. I want the table no to be there as A.1 and B.1 and section number should not appear like A Appendix rather it should look like Appendix.

Is there any alternative method to accomplish the hiding of section without disturbing the table no in the appendix.

Please suggestion me some method to do this.

With sincere regards,
Upananda

Hi Upananda,

you could redefine the presentation of the table counter, which means the command \thetable. However, at first think about the best and consistent numbering. If your table numbering in the main document depends on section number, tables in the appendix should also do. Or number independently of section counters in the whole document. Also figure counters and more can be affected. It can be a small problem if you decide to change numbering, such as not numbering appendix sections, and then try to fix all dependencies. I would do it consistent (so no fix necessary) or remove the dependency.
