appendices

[R grdunik]

Hi,
How can I have more than 26 appendices within a document? Up to 26
seems to be ok but I need to have about 60 appendices.

Regards,
Reza

What are your requirements? I would simply
\renewcomand{\theappendix}{\arabic{appendix}}
and have them come out Appendix 1 through Appendix 60.

It seams silly to insist on letters, but if you must, the
package alphalph provides \AlphAlph to produce A through Z
and then AA through AZ, BA through BZ, etc.:

\usepackage{alphalph}
\renewcommand{\theappendix}{\AlphAlph{\value{appendix}}}

Hi Dan,

To get Appendix 1 through Appendix 60, I used the following as you
have suggested:

\appendix
\renewcommand\theappendix{\arabic{appendix}}

I have also added \usepackage{appendix} in preamble. However, I get
the following error message

! LaTeX Error: \theappendix undefined.

if your document uses \chapter, say

\appendix
\renewcommand\thechapter{\arabic{chapter}}

and if it uses \section{}s but no \chapter{}s,

\appendix
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{chapter}}

this will work with the appendix package, too.

(note the same sort of thing will apply to the \AlphAlph solution if you
go for that:

\renewcommand{\theappendix}{\AlphAlph{\value{chapter}}}

or \value{section} as appropriate.)

[Heiko Oberdiek]

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\AlphAlph{\value{chapter}}
or
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\AlphAlph{\value{section}}

This could also be added in the preamble (if the
used \appendix does not need arguments):

\makeatletter
\g@addto@macro\appendix{%
\renewcommand*{\thechapter}{\AlphAlph{\value{chapter}}}%
}%
\makeatother

If they can be considered to form related groups, collapse them to a
smaller number and use \section.

Hi Robin,
The following works only if \input has not been used within the body
of chapters. Each of my appendices (chapters) has a \input for the
external file used for the given appendix.

With \input the above fails after 26 appendices.

[Heiko Oberdiek]

No. \input is not related to this in any way.
But the contents of the input file matters of course.
Check it, perhaps it contains another call of \appendix
that redefines \thechapter again to use \Alph.

My apologies. I keep forgetting that in most classes
appendices are obtained with \chapter. Others have
already given workable solutions. (Basically one needs
to redefine \thechapter after the \appendix command.)

Hi Heiko,

I have provided a small file in the following. I get an error message

% Add:

\renewcommand*{\theHchapter}{\arabic{chapter}}

Ab der nächsten hyperref-Version 6.82n wird hyperref
auch mit einer vergessenen Umdefinition von \theHchapter
zurechtkommen, indem statt \Alph ein \Hy@AlphNoErr
verwendet wird, das die Bereiche, bei denen \Alph einen
Fehler ausgibt, durch etwas Eigenes ersetzt und so die
Fehlermeldung ausbleibt.

% Add:

The next hyperref version 6.82n will use \Hy@AlphNoErr
instead of \Alph in \theHchapter to avoid error messages,
if the redefinition of \theHchapter has been forgotten.

Heiko you are a star. Thanks ever so much. It is working. Smashing.
You have saved my day.

Hi All,

I have more than 26 appendices in my paper. I somehow still have troubles with making the appendices Appendix AA..AZ. Here I used the following;

\usepackage{alphalph}
\renewcommand{\theappendix}{\AlphAlph{\value{appendix}}}

%%% more writings etc.

\appendix
\section{mySect1}
\section{mySect2}
....


It does not work this way. Also in alphalph.sty file, there is appendix word to run for appendices. I would be glad if you have a solution for this problem.
Thanks a lot.
