[Tex/LaTex] Appendix from letter to roman numeral

appendicesnumberingsectioning

How can I change the standard latex Appendix heading from "Appendix A" to "Appendix I" using roman numerals?

Best Answer

As has been pointed out in the comments, you need to redefine the typeset counter, which is done by \appendix using alphabetical numeration by default. If the class in use does not provide chapters, the sections are the highest level and their typeset counter has to be redefined.

Since roman numerals get out of line pretty quick, i used package tocstyle that takes care of this. You need some compilations to finish the itereation though.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[tocgraduated]{tocstyle}
\usetocstyle{standard}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{duck}
\chapter{goose}
\chapter{hen}
\chapter{hen}
\appendix
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
%\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}%If there are no chapters
\chapter{duckling}
\chapter{gosling}
\chapter{chick}
\chapter{poult}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Appendix letter position

the only way i can see to do this is to redefine the \section command either just before or just after \appendix. this should do it:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
                                     {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
                                     {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
                                     {\normalfont\Large\bfseries Appendix }}
\makeatother

(this is simply a cut-and-paste of the definition from article.cls with \newcommand changed to \renewcommand and "Appendix" added at the end. be careful with the spacing; you have to supply the space after "Appendix"; it won't be done for you.)

using this, just input \appendix \section{}. this is admittedly brute force, but the question has been hanging around for a while with no answer, so something is probably better than nothing.

[Tex/LaTex] Different page numbering in appendix

To (re)start the page numbering, you need to use the command \pagenumbering{}. In all LaTeX classes I'm aware of, the argument of this command can be arabic, roman, Roman, alph, or Alph.

To automate the process of having the page numbering restart when the document gets to the Appendix (or Appendices), you could include the following instruction in the preamble (using, for instance, lowercase-roman numerals):

\let\origappendix\appendix % save the existing appendix command
\renewcommand\appendix{\clearpage\pagenumbering{roman}\origappendix}
