Imagine you have an appendix chapter that contains a whole set of figures, but you don’t want them to show up in the list of figures.
The caption package does the trick for you:
\usepackage{caption}
and then use
\captionsetup[figure]{list=no}
to exclude figures from the LOF from that point onwards. Switching it on again can obviously be done using:
\captionsetup[figure]{list=yes}
Similarly, you can exclude/include tables using these commands:
\captionsetup[table]{list=no}
and
\captionsetup[table]{list=yes}
Huzzah!
Is there a similar trick to suppress TOC indexing of appendices sections without having to \section* them throughout? I just need the first page of the appendices in the TOC, but none of their (sub)sections.
thanks!
Hi Brian,
I suggest you use the
tocvsec2package which let’s you control the depth of the toc-entries using\settocdepth{chapter}within your code. Here is a complete example that shows how you can use it to solve your problem:\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report} \usepackage{tocvsec2} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{blindtext} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \chapter{One} \section{First} \blindtext \section{Second} \blindtext \begin{appendix} \settocdepth{chapter} \chapter{Additional Text} \section{First} \subsection{First} \blindtext \chapter{Additional Figures} \section{Second} \blindtext \end{appendix} \end{document}Cheers, Tom.
Brian, I used a similar idea, but simply added in the line \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix}
directly above \appendix. That added the line into the TOC, but meant that I could simply * out each section and subsection name from then onwards, but the start of my appendices were noted.
And Tom, Thank you for this, I very much appreciate having finally found this incredibly simple solution to something that has been bothering me for a couple of hours!
Thanks a lot.
Some people suggested use \caption* to omit the appendix tables which produced another error and I could not reference any of my appendix tables. But your solution worked correctly. 🙂
That’s great to hear. Thanks for the feedback! Tom.
amazing, thanks a trillion! so simple
