[Tex/LaTex] how to add a title and author in an \appendix

appendicesarticleformattingkoma-script

I am using a KOMA script class and I need to add an appendix at the end of my paper.

Problem is: I would like to have a title and an author part in the appendix, very much as the ones I have in the main document

Any ideas how can I do that? The following solution (using \author{John Doe} and \maketitle after \appendix) does not work

\documentclass[11pt,captions=nooneline,DIV=14, parskip=half]{scrartcl}


\begin{document}
\title{my title}

\author{John Doe}
\date{ }
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}

intro

\appendix
\section{appendix}

% does not work unfortunately. Nothing appears
\author{John Doe}

\end{document}

Thanks!

Already since KOMA-Script 3.12 (Beta from May 2013 or release from December 2013), all KOMA-Script classes support several titles inside the document. So you can simply use, e.g.,

\documentclass[11pt,captions=nooneline,DIV=14, parskip=half]{scrartcl}[2013/05/29]% Need at least an early state of KOMA-Script 3.12

\begin{document}
\title{my title}

\author{John Doe}
\date{ }
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}

intro

\appendix

% does not work unfortunately. Nothing appears
\title{Appendix}
\author{John Doe}
\maketitle

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to add a separate LaTeX-document as an appendix

You can use the pdfpages to include other pdfs in your document- there are lots of options for this package, all of which are well documented. In the MWE below, I've used

\includepdf[pages=-]{myotherdocument}

so that it includes all of the pages of myotherdocument.pdf

If you want to add content to your toc, then you can use \addcontentsline which has the general form

\addcontentsline{<file>}{<level>}{<stuff>}

You can choose the <level> to be chapter, section, etc depending on how you want it to look.

As discussed in the comments, your third and fourth requests conflict :)

Here's a MWE, assuming that you have myotherdocument.pdf in your current working directory.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

% use the \addcontentsline{<file>}{<level>}{<stuff>} mechanism to add content to your toc
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter heading}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Section heading}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Subsection heading}

% [page=-] means include all pages
\includepdf[pages=-]{myotherdocument}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Automatic bold for every first character of a line

Assuming you do want fixed line ends:

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\dob[1]{\textbf{#1}}
\newenvironment{boldfirst}{\obeylines\everypar{\dob}}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{boldfirst}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipisci elit, sed eiusmod
tempor incidunt ut labore
et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim
ad minim veniam, quis nostrud
exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid
ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute
iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit
esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident,
sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt
mollit anim id est laborum.
\end{boldfirst}
\end{document}

enter image description here

To make a nice professional job of it, you could also add some spacing before and afterwards, and control the indent of each line.

A little explanation

As explained in the TeXbook (p. 352) the \obeylines macro is defined in plain TeX to make the end-of-line character (0x13, or \^^M) an "active" character, and then to make it equivalent to \par. The effect of this is to make TeX treat each line as a separate paragraph.

You can then customise the exact effect in two ways. You can redefine \par to do something different, or you can use the \everypar mechanism, as I have done above. Normally the \everypar token list is empty, but if you define it to be non-empty then all the tokens in the list are copied into the beginning of every paragraph. See pp. 282-283 of the TeXbook.

If you want to redefine \par then bear in mind the following points:

You should redefine it before calling \obeylines
TeX saves the original meaning of \par as a command called \endgraf, which can be useful
You can combine both techniques

Restrictions

These facilities are part of Plain TeX, and therefore only available to LaTeX in formats that are built on top of Plain TeX (which is most of the normal ones). The TeXbook has a number of examples of how to use \obeylines effectively. As defined above the boldfirst environment will only work at the top level of a document - you could not use it as the argument to another command for example.
