[Tex/LaTex] How to add an appendix to an article?

appendices

I need to add an appendix in an article I'm writing, but I don't really know how to do it. Can somebody explain to me what is the proper way to add it?

Best Answer

The command \appendix is included in all basic class files:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}

\section{Test 1}
\section{Test 2}

% Activate the appendix
% from now on sections are numerated with capital letters
\appendix

\section{Test 3}
\section{Test 3}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Article appendix with sections and toc entries in the form “Appendix A”

Here's a solution using the appendix package (adding the title package option) and a redefinition of \thetable and \thefigure:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[titletoc,toc,title]{appendix}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\section{Dolor sit amet}
Have a look at \ref{app:foobar}

\begin{appendices}
  \renewcommand\thetable{\thesection\arabic{table}}
  \renewcommand\thefigure{\thesection\arabic{figure}}
  \section{Consectetur adipiscing elit} \label{app:foobar}
    \begin{table}[h]
    \caption{foo}
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
    \textbf{ a } & \textbf{ b }\\
    1 & 3 \\
    2 & 4\\
    \end{tabular}
    \end{table}
  \section{Mauris euismod}
\end{appendices}
\end{document}

To change the \paragraph formatting. add these lines to the preamble:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%
                                    {3.25ex \@plus1ex \@minus.2ex}%
                                    {-1em}%
                                    {\normalfont\normalsize\itshape}}
\makeatother

This is an example of how to use the appendix package.

Insert your appendices inside the environment appendices.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}
\usepackage{lipsum} % only for the example

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\newpage

\section{First section}
\lipsum

\begin{appendices}

\section{First appendix}
\lipsum

\section{Second appendix}
\lipsum

\end{appendices}

\end{document}

And this is how the Table of Contents will look like:
