How to Create Appendices in Flare

[ccardimon]

If I have additional topics to insert into a project as Appendices, what is the best way to do it?

I assume you are creating a print document...

I use h1 tags for my chapters (h1.Chapter) and appendixes (h1.Appendix). I define an auto-number for each that will yield the right label and that uses the "chapnum" parameter.

h1.Chapter
{
mc-auto-number-format: 'Chapter {chapnum}. ';
}

h1.Appendix
{
mc-auto-number-format: 'Appendix {chapnum}. ';
}

I have a starting topic for each chapter and appendix. The heading on each starting topic is tagged as h1.Chapter or h1.Appendix.

In the TOC, I have a book for each chapter and appendix, and I link the book to the applicable starting topic. On each book's Properties window, on the Printed Output tab, I select which page layout to use (I actually have just one that serves both chapters and appendixes) and I set the Page Number as I want. On the window's Auto-numbers tab I set the Chapter Number as I want. For the appendixes, of course, I select the ALPHA format.

I hope this gives you enough to go on to get started.
