 <tt>\appendix</tt>
<p>
 The <tt>\appendix</tt>  command changes  the way sectional  units are numbered.
 The <tt>\appendix</tt>  command  generates  no text  and does  not  affect  the
 numbering of parts.
<p>Thus, if you want your appendix to be set off with a section-like
label you need something like<pre>
  <tt>\begin{<a href="ltx-29.html">center</a>}
    {<a href="ltx-204.html">\bf</a> APPENDIX}
  \end{center}</tt>
</pre>
<hr>
I have found the <tt>\appendix</tt> command to sometimes cause 
problems since <em>everything</em> which follows it is treated as part of 
the appendix, for example, a list of figures, which I generally 
want to place after an appendix is labeled "Appendix: List of Figures".
<p>
One can create a section labeled "APPENDIX" with distinctive numbering
by using the <a href="ltx-141.html"><tt>\section</tt></a> command 
with suitably redefined commands for the <a href="ltx-3.html">Counters</a>.
The following example generates a single "Appendix" with equations numbered
A-1, A-2, ...  <pre>
  <tt><a href="ltx-18.html">\renewcommand</a>{\theequation}{A-\arabic{equation}}
  % redefine the command that creates the equation no.
  <a href="ltx-310.html">\setcounter</a>{equation}{0}  % reset counter 
  <a href="ltx-141.html">\section*</a>{APPENDIX}  % use *-form to suppress numbering</tt>
</pre>
If one had several appendices, appropriate numbering could be obtained by
redefining the <tt>\thesection</tt> command and resetting the section
counter in an analogous manner.
