Dear Sir/Madam:
I am modifying suthesis.sty to create a style for theses at Florida
State University. Everything is fine except for one LaTeX problem.
My LaTeX "root" file, thesis.tex, contains the following lines
as it attempts to set up the appendix section of a thesis:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
\appendix
\include{append_a} % Include appendix A stored in append_a.tex
\clearpage
(The complete files thesis.tex and fsuthesis.sty are appended
at the end of this letter just in case I have omitted something
important from my example.)
Despite the fact that: \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
precedes: \include{append_a} \clearpage
the table of contents file contains the entries in reversed order:
\contentsline {chapter}{\numberline {A}Reaction Rates}{9}
\contentsline {chapter}{Appendices}{9}
If this were only for myself, I would edit the ".toc" file
to reverse the lines, but I am trying to prepare something
that any and all graduate students at Florida State University could use.
Therefore, I would like to find a "clean" solution to the problem.
Is there a way to force the \addcontentsline
message to be written before the chapter listing for appendix A?
Thank you.

% 11pt indicates that 11 point type will be the size of standard text.
% fixup.tex fixes a few minor bugs in LaTeX's styles.
% fsuthesis.sty defines the layout for the cover page

% threepart.sty enables the user to define three part headers and footers.
% It is used to place the page numbers.

Documentation for fsuthesis.sty:
This style file modifies LaTeX's standard report style
to follow the Florida State University Office of Graduate Studies
"Guidelines and Requirements for Thesis, Treatise, and Dissertation
Writers." It sets the margins, interline spacing, the figure and
table numbering style, and disallows page breaks at hyphens.
To use fsuthesis.sty, insert it as one of the documentstyle options, i.e.
\documentstyle[11pt,fixup,fsuthesis]{report}
11 point type, as indicated by 11pt, is recommended.
No spaces are allowed anywhere between the left and right
square brackets: [11pt,etc.]
The following commands control what appears on the title page.
You must substitute the actual title for "thesis title,"
your name for "author's name," etc.
\title{thesis title}
\author{author's name}
\dept{author's department}
\college{college of which the department is a member}
\submitsemester{Fall, Spring, or Summer}
\submityear{1991, 1992, or whatever}
\copyrighttrue or \copyrightfalse
- produce or don't produce a copyright page.
If neither statement is present, no copyright notice will appear.
Text is double spaced except in the figure and table environments
where normal spacing is used.
That can be changed by the command:
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2.0}
(or whatever you want instead of 2.0)
Unfortunately, that command probably will not take effect unless it comes
before the \begin{document} or after something like \small \normalsize.
See the file thesis.tex for an example of how to use this style.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% The average user can ignore the rest of this file.
% From here to the end are the nitty-gritty definitions that
% define the commands mentioned above. This is not for the
% naive or innocent.
% We need 1" margins except on the binding edge, where it is 1 1/2"
\oddsidemargin 0.5in \evensidemargin 0in
\marginparwidth 40pt \marginparsep 10pt
\topmargin 0pt \headsep .5in
\textheight 8.1in \textwidth 6in
% Disallow page breaks at hyphens. This will give some underfull vbox's,
% so an alternative is to use \brokenpenalty=100 and manually search
% for and fix such page breaks.

% baseline-to-baseline skip.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am modifying suthesis.sty to create a style for theses at Florida
State University. Everything is fine except for one LaTeX problem.
My LaTeX "root" file, thesis.tex, contains the following lines
as it attempts to set up the appendix section of a thesis:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
\appendix
\include{append_a} % Include appendix A stored in append_a.tex
\clearpage
(The complete files thesis.tex and fsuthesis.sty are appended
at the end of this letter just in case I have omitted something
important from my example.)
Despite the fact that: \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
precedes: \include{append_a} \clearpage
the table of contents file contains the entries in reversed order:
\contentsline {chapter}{\numberline {A}Reaction Rates}{9}
\contentsline {chapter}{Appendices}{9}
If this were only for myself, I would edit the ".toc" file
to reverse the lines, but I am trying to prepare something
that any and all graduate students at Florida State University could use.
Therefore, I would like to find a "clean" solution to the problem.
Is there a way to force the \addcontentsline
message to be written before the chapter listing for appendix A?
Thank you.

or ahlquist@metsat.met.fsu.edu
The problem comes from an unfortunate interaction between
\addcontentsline and \include. \addcontentsline works by writing the
relevant information to the .aux file, more precisely, by putting
there a write statement to the .toc file. But this information is only
written when the current page is shipped out, since \write commands
are not executed earlier, unless they are preceded by \immediate.
\include, on the other hand, \immediate'ly writes the command
\@input{append_a.aux}
to the .aux file which means that it comes earlier than the \@writefile
command produced by the \addcontentsline.
Since there are these two mechanisms involved, there are two ways to
circumvent this: either you use \input instead of \include, or put the
\addcontentsline and \appendix commands into append_a.tex.
Another solution is impossible until the whole .aux file handling has
been rewritten completely.
I'd like to add one or two comments on the fsuthesis.sty file.
First of all, you are making the common mistake to implement your
thesis style as a document style *option*. Fsuthesis should be a
document style by itself, and replace `report' (which is only an
example document style anyway).
Use of report as base document style leads to strange code like the
one in \tableoftables and \tableoffigures. If you don't want extra
vertical space you should define \@chapter appropriately.
Regarding the single spacing in floats and footnotes: isn't a
redefinition of \@parboxrestore exactly what you want? I'm not sure
about this since it also is applied to the text in a \parbox command
and the minipage environment.
