6. DOCUMENT DIVISIONS\raggedbottomsection\normalbottomsection\bottomsectionskip\bottomsectionpenaltyThe \raggedbottomsection declaration will typeset any pages that are short becauseof a moved subhead as though \raggedbottom was in effect for the short page; otherpages are not affected. The length \bottomsectionskip controls the amount of stretchon the short page. Setting it to zero allows the last line to be flush with the bottomof the typeblock. The default setting of 10mm appears to remove any stretch.\bottomsectionpenalty control the penalty it costs to make a page break at this point.The detault is zero as the stretch is usually enough, by setting it to a negative integer onecan be a bit more incouraging regarding a possible page break.The declaration \normalbottomsection, which is the default, cancels any previous\raggedbottomsection declaration.6.2.1 AppendicesAppendices normally come after the main text and are often considered to be part of the\mainmatter as they are normally numbered (the \backmatter declaration turns off allsectional numbering).\appendix\appendixnameThe \appendix declaration changes the numbering of chapters to an alphabetic form andalso changes the names of chapters from \chaptername (default Chapter) to the valueof \appendixname (default Appendix). Thus, the first and any subsequent \chaptersafter the \appendix command will be ‘Appendix A . . . ’, ‘Appendix B . . . ’, and so on.That is as far as the standard classes go but this class provides more ways of dealing withappendices.\appendixpage\appendixpage*\appendixpagenameThe \appendixpage command generates a part-like page (but no name or number) withthe title given by the value of \appendixpagename (default Appendices). It also makesan entry in the ToC using \addappheadtotoc (see below). The starred version generatesthe appendix page but makes no ToC entry.\addappheadtotoc\appendixtocnameThe command \addappheadtotoc adds an entry to the ToC. The title is given by the valueof \appendixtocname (default Appendices).\begin{appendices} text \end{appendices}76
