Appendix typeset like a chapter with proper headings

Question

I have searched for a solution but the closest I found was this, which doesn't quite solve my problem.

I'm running TeXShop 3.96 on a Mac typesetting a large book (tufte-book). In the base document I include separate chapters as:

%\includeonly{PaPCh1} 
%\includeonly{PaPCh2} 
...
%\includeonly{PaPCh11} 
%\includeonly{PaPApp}

The last file is the Appendix, which I would like unnumbered yet typeset in the style of the other chapters. At the beginning of (within) PaPApp.tex I include:

\chapter*{Appendix} \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendix} 

This properly typesets the opening in the style of a chapter, adds the Appendix to the table of contents line properly, and leads to proper equation and figure numbering.

HOWEVER... the headers in the Appendix remain that of the previous chapter (Chapter 11). I of course would like those headers to treat "Appendix" as if it were the "chapter," with Appendix sections listed.

I tried the obvious approach of replacing the above line in PaPApp.tex with:

\appendix \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendix} 

but this does not typeset the first page of the Appendix in the style of a chapter.

• How do I ensure the Appendix is typeset as if it were a chapter, yet prevent it from being considered part of previous chapter (i.e., have the headers be based on the Appendix... not the previous chapter)?

Answer 1

I prepared a MWE of a tufte book.

The default of the class uses un-numbered chapters so we can use titlesec, loaded by the tufte-book document class to change the style.

Before the chapter Appendix we change the style, to compensate for the absent chapter number, adding the left mark and the entry to the TOC.
