You can indicate that a section, part, or chapter is an appendix by adding an `[appendix]` line above the section title.

While the AsciiDoc structure allows appendices to be placed anywhere, it's customary to place them at the end of the document, after all other sections.
|
|
|
|
Sections marked as appendix have a different title, which is built as follows:
|
|
|
|
* A fixed prefix (taken from the value of the `appendix-caption` attribute, which defaults to "`Appendix`")
|
|
* A letter that represents the number of this appendix within the sequence of appendices (A, B, C, ...)
|
|
* A colon
|
|
* The original section title
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
Appendix A: Copyright and License
|
|
|
|
The prefix can be modified by defining the `appendix-caption` attribute.
|
|
This value can be changed using:
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
:appendix-caption: Appx
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Or it can be unset using:
|
|
|
|

|
|
:appendix-caption!:

Appendices can have subsections.
|
|
However, there are some rules to follow depending on which type of document you are creating.
|
|
|
|
For articles, the appendix must be defined as a level-1 section.
|
|
(If a level-0 section is used, a level-1 section is implied).
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
include::ex-appendix.adoc[tag=appx-article]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The table of contents will appear as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
include::ex-appendix.adoc[tag=appx-article-out]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
For books, the appendix must be defined as a level-1 section if you want the appendix to be a adjacent to other chapters (and in the current part if the book has multiple parts).
|
|
In a multi-part book, if you want the appendix to be adjacent to other parts, the appendix must be defined as a level-0 section.
|
|
In either case, the first subsection of the appendix must be a level-3 section, not a level-2 section.
|
|
That's because an appendix cannot contain chapters.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to define an appendix for a multi-book (take away the part title if you're creating a simple book):
