Question

How to make word ‘appendix’ appear in the table of contents? Right now toc looks like this:

1 ......   2 ......   .   .   A .....   B .....  

I would like it to be:

1 ......   2 ......   .   .   Appendix A .....   Appendix B .....  

My latex source file structure is like this:

\begin{document} \tableofcontents \include{...} \include{...} \appendix \include{...} \include{...} \end{document} 

Answer 1

This is probably most easily achieved by using the appendix package, or the memoir class.

If you don’t want to use a prepackaged solution, you’ll have to hack the sectioning commands. When I needed to do this for my dissertation, I cloned the report class, and edited until I made the margins lady happy. What you’re looking for is the definition of the \addcontentsline macro.
