I am actually not sure if this is correct behaviour but I have an Appendix with multiple entries and it works fine. But in my Content table it shows all the entries. I think it should be hidden and not show all entries there. They should only display down in the appendix section. My appendix code is below. Is this expected behaviour?

And this is how it looks like in the content section.. I just want to see the Appendix but not all the appendices there. Just in the Appendix section itself..enter image description here

    Hello, I think that a MWE would help get you a suitable answer. tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/…

you did not provide a MWE because there is not the document class and the packages needed to compile the code. However I think that you are interested only about the appendix package that works at the same way with all the classes with chapters. First if you use the ambient \begin{appendices} do not use the \appendix command too because they call both the appendix but with different layout options, you can read about that in the package documentation. If you do not want to see in the TOC a section or a chapter you can just add *: \section*{name}. So if you want to show only the chapter named 'Appendix' you can leave \chapter{Appendix} but modify the sections with \section*{Appendix 1}.

  • That is actually what I wanted! Thank you! The Appendix in my content only shows Appendix and links to the section. And then there are all my appendices, perfect! Only one question remains and that is when I apply the * like you said the numbering in the text is not working - it shows to every appendix the same number. E.G.: This example can be found in the appendix ref{appendix:B} and ref{appendix:A} shows this: This example can be found in the appendix [1] and [1] Is it possible to have the correct numbering with \section*{Appendix 1} or not?

    Yes, there are many ways to do that I think the easiest is to use the command provided by the package hyperref: \hyperref[label]{text}. If you have an appendix as \section*{Appendix 1 } with \label{A1} you can use it to create an hyperlink with the text you want in it, in this case: \hyperref[A1]{appendix 1}.
