[Tex/LaTex] making appendix for thesis

appendicesthesis

I need some help with creating an appendix for my thesis. I have about 10 figures which need to be in the appendix. I have a good appendix with the following code: 

\appendix 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{APPENDICES}

\chapter{XXXX}

I have a main thesis.tex file where I call this appendix.tex file after the last chapter. Problems are:

  1. The appendix starts without any notice that it is the appendix except for the chapter number being A, but I want to have either a separate page which says "Appendix" prior to the start of the appendix or on top of the first appendix page to explicitly say "Appendix".
  2. Now I use the \chapter{} command to have the title of the appendix but I think I will have only one chapter in the appendix. Is there some command which can make the title insited of chapter?

Best Answer

The appendix package could be used here; the toc and page package options and the appendices environment will do what you need:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Regular Chapter}
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{Some Appendix}
The contents...
\end{appendices}

\end{document}
