\addappheadtotoc as part in document

Question

When using the package appendix together with e.g. scrbook class \addappheadtotoc uses a chapter style Appendices entry in the toc and bookmarks.

How do I change this such that the Appendices entry is raised to part level in both, toc and bookmarks?

Here is a minimal working example:

\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[toc,title,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{bookmark,hyperref}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter%
\tableofcontents%
\mainmatter%
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\appendices%
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\backmatter%
\end{document}

With KOMA-Script class scrbook you do not need package appendix. You could use

\appendix
\addpart{\appendixname}

in the document.

Or you can define \appendixmore in the preamble:

\documentclass{scrbook}% paper=a4 and fontsize=11pt are default
\usepackage{bookmark,hyperref}
\newcommand*{\appendixmore}{\addpart{\appendixname}}% <- added
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\appendix% <- changed
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\end{document}

Or you can redefine \appendix:

\documentclass{scrbook}% paper=a4 and fontsize=11pt are default
\usepackage{bookmark,hyperref}
\newcommand{\originalappendix}{}
\let\originalappendix\appendix
\renewcommand{\appendix}{\originalappendix\addpart{\appendixname}}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\appendix% <- changed
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\end{document}

This also works fine with \crefalias{section}{appendix} and so on. — Stefan, Jan 08 '21 at 11:02
Since the originally accepted answer also works with \crefalias (as I messed something up in the first place) I reverted and accepted the other answer again. Simply because he was faster in the first place and I can only accept one answer. Thanks for providing a second possibility anyways. — Stefan, Jan 09 '21 at 19:45

Try this revised version of your MWE.

% appintocprob.tex SE 577653
\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[toc,title,page]{appendix}
%\providecommand{\addappheadtotoc}{%  no change
\renewcommand{\addappheadtotoc}{%     new simple version
  \phantomsection
  \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\appendixtocname}%
}
\usepackage{bookmark,hyperref}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter%
\tableofcontents%
\mainmatter%
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\part{p}
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\appendices%
\chapter{c}
\section{s}
\backmatter%
\end{document}

Note the redefinition of \addappheadtotoc. It is a very simple redefinition whereby I have used part instead of chapter. The original definition of \addappheadttotoc is much more complex as it deals with a number of potential cases so this redefinition is really applicable only to your use.

While this answer solves what I have asked for it doesn't reference the appendix correctly when using \cref, even though I considered the points made in this post. – Stefan Jan 08 '21 at 11:00
@Stefan Then please ask another question including an MWE that shows your use of \cref which does not appear in your above MWE. – Peter Wilson Jan 09 '21 at 18:17
@Stefan Someone reduced their acceptance of my answer. By any chance was it you? – Peter Wilson Jan 09 '21 at 19:24
It turns out that I messed up the first test I did. I now tried with a MWE and in the original document and it works fine also with your solution. Sorry for the confusion. – Stefan Jan 09 '21 at 19:42
Yes, I removed acceptance as I thought it does not work. I put it back again as it was originally. Sorry for the confusion on my end... – Stefan Jan 09 '21 at 19:43
@Stefan Thank you for explaining what has happened. All the best for 2021 – Peter Wilson Jan 10 '21 at 18:59
