I would like my appendices to behave like sections under the ToC but keep them as chapters in my document.
Here is a MWE of my current structure:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside,openright]{book}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Section 1}
\chapter{Literature Review}
\section{Section 2}
\chapter{Methodology and Data}
\section{Section 3}
\chapter{Results}
\section{Section 4}
\chapter{Conclusion}
\section{Section 5}
\appendix
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
\chapter{First Appendix}
\chapter{Second Appendix}
\end{document}
I would like to indent the two appendices in the ToC to fall under the \addcontentsline
entry as sections.
I have tried to do this by making the appendices into actual sections, but when I do this I get entries like '.A' and '.B' which is untidy. I'd like to keep the typical alph list for my appendices.
i.e.
Contents
1 Introdution
1.1 Section 1
...
Appendices
A. First Appendix
B. second Appendix
Has anyone else tried to format their ToC with appendices in this way?
Best Answer
Add
before calling your
\chapter
appendices. The above command changes\l@chapter
to be equivalent to\l@section
- these two macros are used when setting the ToC entries labelled aschapter
andsection
, respectively. As such, the equivalence causes\chapter
-style ToC entries to be set just like\section
-style entries would be. Since writing to the ToC is fragile,\protect
ion is required.Here's your MWE with above incorporation:
