[Tex/LaTex] Remove Appendices from table of content

appendicestable of contents

I used this code to generate appendices

\documentclass [a4paper,12pt,oneside,final]{book}
\usepackage[title]{appendix}
\begin{document}
\dominitoc 
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures} \mtcaddchapter
\listoftables \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables} \mtcaddchapter
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{Appendix A}
\section{aaaa}
\end{appendices}
\end{document}

The appendices appear at the end of the table of contents

How i can remove them so they will not appear

any suggestion?

You can add

\addtocontents{toc}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}}

at the very beginning of the subappendices environment.

\documentclass [a4paper,12pt,oneside,final]{book}
\usepackage[title]{appendix}
\usepackage{minitoc}

\begin{document}
\dominitoc
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures} \mtcaddchapter
\listoftables \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables} \mtcaddchapter

\begin{appendices}
\addtocontents{toc}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}}
\chapter{Appendix A}
\section{aaaa}
\end{appendices}

\end{document}

If chapters, in particular thise for the appendices, are beign \included, it's best to place the line

\addtocontents{toc}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}}

in the subsidiary file just before the \chapter command.

[Tex/LaTex] List of Appendices

Rooting through the cls file in the link posted above, I tried to dissect the following block, which looked rather promising:

\newcommand\listofappendices{%
    \@chapteronefalse
    \if@arabic\relax\else\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}\fi
    \if@twocolumn
      \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
    \else
      \@restonecolfalse
    \fi
    \chapteruaf*{\listappname
      \@mkboth{\uppercase{\listappname}}%
              {\uppercase{\listappname}}}%
    \@chapteronetrue
    %% get this in contents as a section
    \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\listappname}
    \@starttoc{loa}%
    \if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
    \newpage\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}}

Basically, I realized that this command was setting up the List of Appendices for me, all I needed was a way to automatically populate it, instead of manually adding entries to the loa file.

At the head of each Appendix:

\chapter*{This is the first appendix}
\addcontentsline{loa}{appendix}{This is the entry for the first appendix in the List of Appendices}

The \chapter* suppresses a TOC entry for the appendix, while the \addcontentsline adds the entry to the LOA file. To get the style to match, I added the following line to the end of the code block in the cls file:

\newcommand\l@appendix{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}

Works perfectly now, and I don't have to worry about manually creating the List of Appendices every time I build my document.

[Tex/LaTex] Appendix at the end of Chapter

Here's a possible solution in which I assumed that the sections corresponding to appendices will be the last sections of their corresponding chapter. I defined an \appsection command to change \thesection so as to obtain the required formatting; this command has to be issued before the appendices for a chapter. Using the etoolbox package, \chapter restores the original meaning of \thesection.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\pretocmd{\chapter}{\renewcommand\thesection{\thechapter.\arabic{section}}}{}{}

\newcommand\appsection{%
  \setcounter{section}{0}%
  \renewcommand\thesection{\thechapter.\Alph{section}}}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test Chapter One}
\section{A regular section in chapter one}

\chapter{Test Chapter Two}
\section{A regular section in chapter two}
\appsection
\section{Derivation of MMSE Equation}
\subsection{Some remarks}
\subsection{Preliminary results}
\section{Proof of the main result}
\subsection{Some important consequences}

\chapter{Test Chapter Three}
\section{A regular section in chapter three}
\appsection
\section{Derivation of ABCD Equation}
\subsection{Preliminary results}
\section{Proof of the main result}
\subsection{Some important consequences}
\subsection{Some remarks}

\end{document}

In case hyperref is loaded, the above code has to be slightly changed to

\pretocmd{\chapter}{%
  \renewcommand\thesection{\thechapter.\arabic{section}}%
  \renewcommand\theHsection{\thechapter.\arabic{section}}}{}{}

\newcommand\appsection{%
  \setcounter{section}{0}%
  \renewcommand\thesection{\thechapter.\Alph{section}}%
  \renewcommand\theHsection{\thechapter.\Alph{section}}}
