In addition to chapters, sections and subsections, papers tend
to have auxiliary junk attached.
This extra junk is usually called either
acknowledgements or appendices.
To save you the bother of figuring out which font sizes and spacing
choices are necessary to make these appendages
consistent with the rest of the paper we also have
control sequences to generate headings for them.
Typing the command
ack
generates the line
Note the beauty of the typeface and the precisely chosen amounts of
extra space which gracefully offset the title generated with this
simple command.
Once again, for the Philistines among you, you can play with
the fonts using the commands
bf,
sl, etc.;
however, let the esthetic violence you do to the manuscript
be on your own head.
Generating appendices presents us with a slightly more complex
situation and so you get more choices as to how to proceed.
The questions which arise at this juncture are
How many appendices will there be ? and
How do you want them numbered ?.
Clearly, if there is to be only one appendix then the choice is
simple.
In that event you generate a lovely heading by simply typing
appendix
which causes TEX to generate the line
If there are to be many appendices and you want to number them
in any way which suits you, you only need type
Appendix{ text }
note the capital letter appearing as the first letter of this control
sequence.
Remember, TEX cares about upper and lowercase, so this is a
different command from
appendix.
Typing
Appendix{ A }
generates
A
Typing
Appendix{ I }
generates
I
and typing
Appendix{ 1 }
generates
1
=by -1=by 1 by 1
This completes the discussion of the basic commands which generate division headings. Now we turn to a discussion of the special commands which PHYZZX has included to allow you to tailor the way in which these macros handle numbering conventions.
