A few of the appendices in my document contain code covering a lot of pages, but those pages have nothing else than code (and page numbers). How can I put a header showing what's the current appendix, starting from the second page of each appendix? The image below shows the undesired results.

Use

\pagestyle{headings}

to print the current section name in the header.

If you need more precision than that, you can use, eg fancyhdr and craft your own heading layout. See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf for details.

Do you know how to enable it, only in the pages where the section title is not already present? – Tomas Nov 9 '10 at 5:57
@Tomas: it should work if you put \pagestyle{headings} right after \appendix – Matthew Leingang Nov 9 '10 at 10:14
It does work, but I didn't wanted to get this: oi53.tinypic.com/x8w1g.jpg I don't want the headers in the pages that have the section start. – Tomas Nov 9 '10 at 13:19

In addition to what you already have, add \thispagestyle{empty} right after \section{..} – Juan A. Navarro Nov 9 '10 at 15:41
