For my appendix I'm trying to change 3 things to my section numbering:
- Change to Alphabetical numbering
- Subsections of the appendix are not supposed to appear in the table of contents
- Numbering has to reset for my appendix, since I am using sections in my main part aswell
The result is supposed to look like this:
Appendix
A.1 Code 1
A.2 Code 2
For the table of contents its supposed to look like this:
5. Results ............. 50
Appendix ............... 51
I'm currently using the following code:
\documentclass[ DIV15,
liststotoc,
]{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
{
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\thesection\Alph{section}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\thesection.\Alph{subsection}}
}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\section*{Appendix}
\setcounter{section}{1}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}}
\subsection{Code 1}
\subsection{Code 2}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}}
\end{document}
TexStudio compiles with no errors, but the page numbering for my appendix is still numeric. How can I change the numbering to alphabetical?
I've tried \def instead of \renewcommand but it did not help.
Thanks a lot in advance,

The line
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\thesection\Alph{section}}
creates a recursion loop. I think that you probably wantSecondly, since you are suppressing the section number in your MWE by using
\section*
, and given what you actually say, I think that you probably want:Of course, you may actually have real sections in your document, in which case you should use
You could also potentially use
\chapter
here and\section
instead of\subsection
(or you could ignore these comments:)?Finally, I am not sure what the intention of the two
\addtocontents{toc}...
commands is. If you comment out these two lines then a small variation of your MWE produces what I think you want:Here is the full code:
