How do you distinguish an appendix section from an appendix chapter. According to my interpretation of the LaTeX manual, if you are using report style, the \appendix command should generate a new chapter with the titling changed to 'Appendix A' etc. In article style, \appendix starts a new section with appendix titling. However this has not been the case. When I use \appendix in report style, all I get is a new section within the current chapter with the section and chapter numbering reset to 0. How can I get LaTeX to print a title page and start a new 'appendix chapter' in the report style?? (actually I am using a modified thesis style but I don't think that matters). Do I have to typeset them separately...if so this is a major pain. any suggestions are appreciated, james parker -- _____________________________________________________________________________ James Parker jparker@watvlsi.waterloo.edu _____________________________________________________________________________

All it does is change the word "Chapter" to the word "Appendix" within the definition of \chapter and some associated stuff, like the code which sets running heads (there is no magic here - that code never really contains the word "Chapter" - it calls an internal macro, \@chapapp, which initially expands to "Chapter", later to "Appendix"); and it changes the definition of \thechapter to use a letter, rather than an arabic number. To actually start an appendix, you need to use \chapter. This is what the documentation says (if you read it closely), and this is also what the "report" code does, as a quick check will reveal. If it doesn't work that way in your modified thesis style, I suggest you look there for changes. -- Jerry
