I'm writing my thesis in report
document class with several packages including
\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}
\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}
To create the only appendix in my document I type
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{}
\section{Some title here}
Some text here!
\end{appendices}
This works fine and produces "Appendix A" in the table of contents. However, since it is the only appendix, I'd rather not have an "A" in front of "Appendix". To suppress this I used
\setcounter{chapter}{-1}
which does the job, but makes the numbering of sections (and subsections) in the appendix "ugly" with ".1", ".1.1", etc. Does anyone know a better way of doing this?
PS I've read the answers to the two questions on Appendices here http://www.ams.org/publications/authors/faq/author-faq but still am not able to fix the issue.
