appendiceskoma-scriptnumberingsectioning
I'm using the document class scrartcl and appendix. This currently results in a letter instead of a number for section enumeration in the TOC and section title ("A My Code Listing").
I need to change this to "Appendix A My Code Listing", i.e. add the word "Appendix" to the section title.
I have found a manual workaround on http://web.reed.edu/cis/help/latex/thesis#appendices but would like to know if there is a way to change this automatically.
There's really no need to define a new command for the chapter in the appendices section; just before the appendices you can redefine the \@chapter command (defined in report.cls), to include the appendices in the new list instead of including them in the ToC; here's an example of such a redefinition; note that the second mandatory argument of \newlistof must be used in the redefinition of \chapter (see the lines marked with %NEW):
\documentclass[12pt,draft,letterpaper]{report}
\usepackage{quotchap}
\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
\usepackage{appendix}
\newlistof{appendixchapter}{apx}{List of Appendices}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\listofappendixchapter
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{List of Appendices}
\chapter{My first chapter}
This is Chapter 1's body.
\appendix
\makeatletter
\def\@chapter[#1]#2{\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
\refstepcounter{chapter}%
\typeout{\@chapapp\space\thechapter.}%
\addcontentsline{apx}{chapter}%NEW
{\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}%
\else
\addcontentsline{apx}{chapter}{#1}%NEW
\fi
\chaptermark{#1}%
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%
\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%
\if@twocolumn
\@topnewpage[\@makechapterhead{#2}]%
\else
\@makechapterhead{#2}%
\@afterheading
\fi}
\makeatother
\chapter{My first appendix}
This is Appendix A's body.
\chapter{My second appendix}
This is Appendix B's body.
\end{document}
An excerpt from the resulting document showing the ToC and the LoA:
As requested, here's the code necessary to use a new command \appendixchapter (similar to \chapter) for the appendices; the new definition needs two new commands \appendixchapter and \@appendixchapter; only the first one will be used in the document body:
\documentclass[12pt,draft,letterpaper]{report}
\usepackage{quotchap}
\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}
\usepackage{appendix}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\appendixchapter{\if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
\thispagestyle{plain}%
\global\@topnum\z@
\@afterindentfalse
\secdef\@appendixchapter\@schapter}
\def\@appendixchapter[#1]#2{\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
\refstepcounter{chapter}%
\typeout{\@chapapp\space\thechapter.}%
\addcontentsline{apx}{chapter}%NEW
{\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}%
\else
\addcontentsline{apx}{chapter}{#1}%NEW
\fi
\chaptermark{#1}%
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%
\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%
\if@twocolumn
\@topnewpage[\@makechapterhead{#2}]%
\else
\@makechapterhead{#2}%
\@afterheading
\fi}
\makeatother
\newlistof{appendixchapter}{apx}{List of Appendices}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\listofappendixchapter
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{List of Appendices}
\chapter{My first chapter}
This is Chapter 1's body.
\appendix
\appendixchapter{My first appendix}
This is Appendix A's body.
\appendixchapter{My second appendix}
This is Appendix B's body.
\end{document}
You can provide local redefinitions for \thechapter, \thesection, \thesubsection, \thefigure and \thetable:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}
\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\begin{appendices}
\renewcommand\thechapter{}
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand\thefigure{\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand\thetable{\arabic{table}}
\chapter{}
\section{A test section}
Some text here
\subsection{A test subsection}
Some text here
\end{appendices}
\end{document}

Notice that this can produce ambiguity, since you will have two different objects with the same numbering (the first chapter of the document and the first section in the appendix are both numbered "1", for example). To avoid this, you could number the sections alphabetically or using Roman numerals:
\renewcommand\thechapter{}
\renewcommand\thesection{\Alph{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand\thefigure{\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand\thetable{\arabic{table}}
or
\renewcommand\thechapter{}
\renewcommand\thesection{\Roman{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand\thefigure{\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand\thetable{\arabic{table}}
