I am working on a larger report and need help with chapter naming for the appendices.
I want to add "Appendix" as a prefix to the chapter numbering for the appendices in my document in the actual text, not just in the ToC.
The ToC is working as it should:
The Appendix chapter numbering is not:
Instead of:
A Some Stuff
I wish to have it as:
Appendix A: Some Stuff
While keeping the individual sections of the appendices as they are in the screenshots.
I have attached a MWE:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\raggedbottom
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}{\bfseries\LARGE}{\thechapter~}{0em}{}
\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\chapter*{Abstract}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Some Chapter}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\chapter{Another Chapter}
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{Some Stuff}
\section{List of stuff}
\section{List of more stuff}
\section{List of even more stuff}
\chapter{More Stuff}
\section{Some equations}
\section{Some more equations}
\end{appendices}
\end{document}
Best Answer
You can insert a conditional in the
\titleformat
setup for\chapter
s:The conditional checks whether you're in the
appendices
environment and sets the\chapter
header using\setappendix
. Otherwise it sets it using\setchapter
.
