Modifying custom designs for chapter and appendix heading pages

Question

I have made to following book class MWE that uses this template for making the chapter heading pages look pretty.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,titlepage,twoside,openright]{book}

\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}

%%%%%
% v chapter heading style from http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_chapter/0.html
%%%%
\makeatletter
 \def\thickhrulefill{\leavevmode \leaders \hrule height 1ex \hfill 
 \kern \z@}
 \def\@makechapterhead#1{%
 \reset@font
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ 
    \begin{flushright}
  \reset@font \scshape \bfseries \Huge \thechapter \par
\end{flushright}
\hrule
\begin{flushright}
  \reset@font \LARGE \strut #1\strut \par
\end{flushright}
\vskip 100\p@
}}
 \def\@makeschapterhead#1{%
  \reset@font
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ 
    \begin{flushright}
      \reset@font \scshape \bfseries \Huge \vphantom{\thechapter} \par
    \end{flushright}
    \hrule
    \begin{flushright}
      \reset@font \LARGE \strut #1\strut \par
    \end{flushright}
    \vskip 100\p@
  }}
%%%%%

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

  \chapter{title of this chapter}

some text

\begin{appendices}

  \chapter{Title of this appendix}\label{apx:f}

  \section{an appendix section}

\end{appendices}

\end{document}

Currently this produces simple numbers for chapter headings (i.e. "1" instead of "Chapter 1"). This is what I want.

It also does a similar trick to appendices (i.e. "A" instead of "Appendix A"). I don't want this.

How can I change the script to give me appendix titles like: "Appendix A"?

Answer 1

You can easily do that with the apptools package, which defines booleans and conditional related with being in an appendix. B.t.w., to have bold small caps with Computer Modern, you have to load cm-super, i.e. load the T1 font encoding:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,titlepage,twoside,openright]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
\usepackage{apptools}

%%%%%
% v chapter heading style from http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_chapter/0.html
%%%%
\makeatletter
 \def\thickhrulefill{\leavevmode \leaders \hrule height 1ex \hfill
 \kern \z@}
 \def\@makechapterhead#1{%
 \reset@font
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@
    \begin{flushright}
  \reset@font \scshape \bfseries \Huge\IfAppendix{Appendix}{} \thechapter \par
\end{flushright}
\hrule
\begin{flushright}
  \reset@font \LARGE \strut #1\strut \par
\end{flushright}
\vskip 100\p@
}}
 \def\@makeschapterhead#1{%
  \reset@font
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@
    \begin{flushright}
      \reset@font \scshape \bfseries \Huge\vphantom{\thechapter} \par%
    \end{flushright}
    \hrule
    \begin{flushright}
      \reset@font \LARGE \strut #1\strut \par
    \end{flushright}
    \vskip 100\p@
  }}
\makeatother
