[Tex/LaTex] Index (printindex) in appendix has different format than other chapters

appendicesformattingindexing

I have a complex file based on documentclass scrbook.
It has many parts and the last part is the appendix.
Instead of sections I use chapters in appendix.
All glossaries and bibliography are defined as chapter.

I also defined the index as chapter in doc_class:

...
\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex
\indexsetup{level=\chapter,toclevel=chapter,noclearpage}
...

end of document looks like this:

...
\appendix
\part{My appendix}

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,style=long,title=Acronym]
\printglossary[style=altlist,title=Glossary]
\bibliography{Bibliography}
\chapter{CD Contents}

%problem:
\printindex

\end{document}

All chapters in appendix appear like this:

Appendix (A, B, C, D)

Chaptername (Acronym, Glossary, Bibliography, CD Contents).

However the Index just has the heasline

"Index"
but
"Appendix E"
is missing.

Is there anything I can do, that

\printindex

uses the defined format for chapter?

Best Answer

You should

remove the index=totoc option to the document class
remove the call to idxlayout that does nothing
define \indexsetup{level=\chapter,toclevel=chapter} (the * means “no number”)
move the call of hyperref to be the last loaded package

[Tex/LaTex] Different format styles for section and appendix titles

This is a result of my trying out the suggestion in comments to use an option from appendix to create the page before the appendices. Unfortunately, that is not as straightforward as one might have thought....

As a first step, the documentation suggested that adding the page option when loading the class might do the trick. For monitoring, I also added a \tableofcontents since the MWE in the question suggested this is desired.

The result:

this is because appendix uses the document class's \part to produce the appendix page and article.cls does not start a new page for a new part.

I thought this might not be so terrible since titlesec can redefine \part as well as other sectional divisions. However, that did not work. It worked for \part{} but not for the appendix page.

I also tried etoolbox's \apptocmd and \pretocmd. This, however, turned out to be incompatible with titlesec and did not, in any case, have the desired result.

Looking at the code for appendix.sty, it turns out that the documentation is a bit misleading. What it does is uses the format for the 'page' which it thinks must be in place given the document class. If there are chapters, it issues a \clearpage. Otherwise, it does not.

appendix is not, it seems designed for flexibility.

I then tried redefining \appendixpage to issue an explicit \part*{}. Together with titlesec, this let me get the format for the page itself right.

Sadly, this played havoc with the contents. Rather than being added to the contents once, the appendices were added four times.

Finally, I opted for a brute force approach. First, the package:

\usepackage[title,toc,page]{appendix}

We don't use titletoc as we'll add this ourselves. Now, redefine the command used to create the page:

\renewcommand\appendixpage{\clearpage\thispagestyle{empty}\mbox{}\vfill\begin{flushright}\LARGE\bfseries\addappheadtotoc\appendixpagename\vfill\mbox{}\end{flushright}\clearpage}

This is really doing all the work. \addappheadtotoc is adding the appendices stuff to the contents. The rest is just formatting the page. You can adjust the formatting here as you wish.

For a little more flexibility in the title, it would be nice to be able to get something like 'Appendices Title of Appendices' in the same way that you get 'Appendix A Title of Appendix'. To do this, we save the current definitions of \appendixpagename and \appendixtocname:

\let\oldappendixtocname\appendixtocname
\let\oldappendixpagename\appendixpagename

and then redefine them in terms of a new \appendixtitle command:

\renewcommand*\appendixtocname{\protect\large \oldappendixtocname\quad \appendixtitle}
\renewcommand*\appendixpagename{\oldappendixpagename\\\appendixtitle}

Finally, create the new command to hold the title with a placeholder:

\newcommand*\appendixtitle{Title of Appendices}% title of appendices goes here

Final result:

Complete code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}
% % wouldn't it be easier to use titlesec to do this rather than a manual intervention for each section? (Assuming that's what this is for)
\newcommand{\sectionbreak}{\clearpage} % To make each section start on a new page
\usepackage[title,toc,page]{appendix}
\renewcommand\appendixpage{\clearpage\thispagestyle{empty}\mbox{}\vfill\begin{flushright}\LARGE\bfseries\addappheadtotoc\appendixpagename\vfill\mbox{}\end{flushright}\clearpage}
\let\oldappendixtocname\appendixtocname
\let\oldappendixpagename\appendixpagename
\renewcommand*\appendixtocname{\protect\large \oldappendixtocname\quad \appendixtitle}
\renewcommand*\appendixpagename{\oldappendixpagename\\\appendixtitle}
\newcommand*\appendixtitle{Title of Appendices}% title of appendices goes here
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\section{Section title}
\lipsum[4]

\begin{appendices}
  \section{Appendix title}
  \lipsum[4]
\end{appendices}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Problem with \printindex. No index created

The makeidx package doesn't produce the index on its own; it just writes the entries, unsorted, to a separate file. You need to use an external processor, such as makeindex or xindy, to sort the index and format it in a way appropriate for inclusion in your document.

So your compilation process might look like this:

pdflatex jobname.tex

This produces a jobname.pdf file and writes the index entries to jobname.idx.

makeindex jobname.idx

This sorts and formats the index entries and outputs jobname.ind.

pdflatex jobname.tex

This produces a pdf file and includes jobname.ind at whatever point in the document you issued \printindex.

Oftentimes, it's good to put these commands into a script so you don't forget to run them.

Remember that every time you compile your document, it is both including the contents of jobname.ind at whatever point you issued \printindex and writing all your index entires to jobname.idx. Once you have your ind file, you don't need to rerun makeindex unless your page numbers have changed or you've changed entries in the index.
