How to add a full stop after 'Appendix A'

Question

I am completing my MSc thesis. I need to add an appendix section. At the moment I am using \usepackage[title]{appendix} and the appendices appear as 'Appendix A Derivation of LURB' But I want 'Appendix A. Derivation of LURB' Notice the full stop after Appendix A.

I have the following code in my main file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[title, titletoc]{appendix}
\begin{document}
    \begin{appendices}
    \input{LUBR}
    \end{appendices}
\end{document}

and in the LURB file I have: \section{Derivation of LURB}

The answer might depend (a lot) on the used \documentclass. — campa, Aug 21 '19 at 10:46

After your \begin{appendices} add \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}.} like this

\begin{appendices}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}.}
...

noting the period (full stop).

This works. However, when referencing equations inside the appendix they will be of the form (A..1) which is inconvenient. To change this add \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}.} before the appendix title and \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}} after appendix title. – Andy Aug 22 '19 at 06:04
