LaTeX How to Create a List of Appendices in Latex for Thesis?

AI Thread Summary
In LaTeX, there is no default command to create a separate list for appendices similar to \listoftables and \listoffigures. While using the \backmatter option in certain document classes allows appendices to be formatted correctly and included in the table of contents, it does not generate a dedicated list for them. To achieve this, users are advised to utilize the \usepackage{appendix}, which offers more control over appendix formatting. However, even with this package, the standard \appendix command does not provide a built-in way to create a separate list of appendices. Users seeking to fulfill thesis requirements for a list of appendices must explore custom solutions or additional packages to generate this feature.

Hello,

In Latex, there are the \listoftables and \listoffigures control sequences to list the tables and figures respectively where you want. But I didn't find a similar control sequence to list the appendices, or did I miss it? Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance

LaTeX doesn't have default support for appendices. Most classes give you an option (like \backmatter) which will set special formatting for \chapter's so they show "Appendix A" instead of "Chapter 13", which means they'll just show up in your table of contents.
 
Check into
Code:
\usepackage{appendix}

The default command \appendix starts your appendices but there's no way back, and everything subsequent will be labeled that way. I believe the package gives you a little more control.
 
Thanks CompuChip and minger for replying.

For sure I want to include the Appendices number in the table of contents, and I did that. But what I want is to set a list of appendices in a separate page, as with list of figures, and list of tables. How can I do that? This is one of the requirements of my thesis.

Regards
