I have a document with numbered chapters. At the end I wanted to add some appendices without a number (only a title). I used this solution, which I found online:
\newcommand\chap[1]{%
\chapter*{#1}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1}%
}
This works from a title and TOC perspective, but it still has two major issues:
-
Figures still have a chapter number. So if my final chapter is chapter 10, figures i the appendix will be marked as 11.something. Can I get rid of the 11. and hide those figures from the index of figures?
-
Running heads seem to ignore the appendix name. So all my appendixes have 'Bibliography' written in the head! Can I have the appendix (chapter*) title show up there, or perhaps a custom string?
Thanks for any help you may provide.

These are two questions, that I'll try to answer:
Figure numbering
You can re-define the figure numbering macro, by saying
There's a package
chngcntr
that is capable of doing it by a special command, but there's no need to use it IMHORunning heads
You should add this line to your definition of
\chap
:General remark
I think that in a document with numbered chapters, the appendix chapters should be marked by letter, as the typographical consensus suggests. To do so, just add this line before your first appendix:
