\setcounter{tocdepth}{0} doesn't work?
Arnoud Galactus Engelfriet
an appendix. The appendices should only be listed with their chapter
titles in the table of contents, even though they have sections,
subsections and even subsubsections.
To achieve this, I have modified the \appendix definition to read
\newcommand\appendix{\cleardoublepage\par
\setcounter{chapter}{0}%
\setcounter{section}{0}%
\renewcommand\@chapapp{\appendixname}%
\renewcommand\thechapter{\@Alph\c@chapter}%
\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}%
\@appendixtrue}
in my own .cls file (based on the standard book.cls). The main .tex
file contains the flag \appendix before the appendices are \include'd.
However, in the .dvi file, I still get all sections and subsections
in my table of contents. This is the default, but I would have
expected that once \appendix is processed, the counter is reset to
zero and so no more (sub)sections are included in the document.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is it at all possible to change
the tocdepth on the fly like this, or is there another way to do
this? I don't want to use section*, since I need the numbering
in the actual appendix itself.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Greetings,
Arnoud

The problem is that tocdepth is evaluated in the table of contents,
NOT when the \section (or whatever) is called. You can solve this by
writing the new definition of tocdepth to the toc file. So instead of
your line
\setcounter{tecdepth}{0}
write
\addtocontents{toc}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}}

You must write the new value to the toc file:
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}}
That's all.

The tocvsec2 package (CTAN macros/latex/contrib/supported) enables
you to change the ToC contents (and the sectional numbering level) at
any point in the document.
