[Tex/LaTex] Add chapter/appendix prefix in table of contents of scrbook with correct appendix running head

appendicesheader-footerscrbooktable of contents

My first question is how to add the chapter or appendix prefix in the table of contents of scrbook class instead of the its default appearance.

For example, in the figure below, I want to change the chapter entry in TOC to Chapter 1. Introduction.

and the same goes for the appendix entry in TOC, which means typesetting Appendix A. Electro… instead of the figure below.

Additionally, I have used \appendix before starting my appendices, so it treats all the subsequent chapters as chapters A, B, etc. However, I want to treat them as appendices to appear correctly in the page headings as "Appendix A. Electro…" instead of "Chapter A. Electro…" in the page heading as shown below.

Thanks in advance

Your first question can be solved by using the tocstyle-package included in the KOMAscript-bundle. Try

 texdoc tocstyle

at an command prompt to see the documentation.

By redefining some internal variables, if I understand your question correctly, you will have the answer to your first question. Put this commands in your preamble:

\usepackage{tocstyle}
\renewcommand*{\addchaptertocentry}[2]{%
  \addtocentrydefault{chapter}{\chapapp\nobreakspace #1}{#2}%
}
\usetocstyle{KOMAlike}

Your second question was:

However, I want to treat them as appendices to appear correctly in the page headings as "Appendix A. Electro..."

This be solved by using the class-option chapterprefix=true or appendixprefix=true, if I understand your question correctly.

A complete MWE, which (hopefully) solve all questions:

\documentclass[appendixprefix=true]{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{tocstyle}
\renewcommand*{\addchaptertocentry}[2]{%
  \addtocentrydefault{chapter}{\chapapp\nobreakspace #1}{#2}%
}

\usetocstyle{KOMAlike}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\blinddocument
\appendix

\blinddocument

\end{document}

If you are using \chapter in \fronmatter, remember to use the starred version to avoid a Chapter . with empty number in your Table of Contents. Also, if you are using the command \addchapin you document, use the starred version (\addchap*}.

For further reading, see page 80 in the English manual, and this discussion at the KOMAscript homepage.

NB! This code needs a recent version of komascript.

[Tex/LaTex] Add Appendix with correct page to ToC

\appendix only changes the chapter numbering to Alph; it doesn't add a page break. Solution: Add \cleardoublepage before \appendix. (This is appropriate for a document using the openright class option; for openany, use \clearpage.)

EDIT: Personally, I wouldn't add a "pseudo chapter" to the ToC that doesn't correspond to an existing chapter (there is no chapter called "Appendix" in your example). Consider to add an unnumbered "Appendix" part to the main text and the ToC instead.

\documentclass{scrbook}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{test}
\cleardoublepage
\appendix
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\appendixname}
\chapter{First Appendix}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] List of appendices without chapter titles

Here is an idea:

\newcommand{\startappendix}{%
\pagebreak%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}%
\fancyhead[L]{{\bfseries Appendices}}%
\setcounter{section}{0}%
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}%
}

\newenvironment{newappendix}[2]%
{\gdef\headername{#1}%
\phantomsection%
\refstepcounter{section}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix \thesection~- #1}%
\label{app:#2}}
{\fancyhead[R]{Appendix \thesection~- \headername}
\newpage}

Add these two commands in your preamble. The first one should be used when you want to start your appendices. The second one is to use each time you want to change the name of the current appendix. The first argument is the name of the appendix and the second is what will be added the the app: prefix for the label. You can then call the appendix with the \ref{app:<your second argument>} wherever you want in your code.

Example

Here is a short example of the code and its output

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\newcommand{\startappendix}{%
\pagebreak%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}%
\fancyhead[L]{{\bfseries Appendices}}%
\setcounter{section}{0}%
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}%
}

\newenvironment{newappendix}[2]%
{\gdef\headername{#1}%
\phantomsection%
\refstepcounter{section}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix \thesection~- #1}%
\label{app:#2}}
{\fancyhead[R]{Appendix \thesection~- \headername}
\newpage}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{One}
\section{One-one}

\startappendix

\begin{newappendix}{First}{1}
\includegraphics[width=12cm,height=15cm]{test}
\end{newappendix}

\begin{newappendix}{Second}{2}
\includegraphics[width=12cm,height=15cm]{test}
\end{newappendix}

\end{document}

Table of contents

First appendix

EDIT Another way to go I found thanks to egreg for the second command:

\fancyhead[R]{Appendix \rightmark}

\newcommand{\newappendix}[2]{%
  \clearpage%
  \phantomsection%
  \refstepcounter{section}%
  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix \thesection~- #1}%
  \markright{\thesection \ -- #1}%
  \label{app:#2}
}
