<appendix> Appendix

At the author’s discretion, any original material related or supplementary to the paper but not properly part of it.

Usage/Remarks

Display/Formatting Note
Typically, no @xreflabel is present. A generated label “Appendix X” (where “X” is an alphabetical letter based on the order of <appendix> elements in the paper) will precede the title of the appendix, “Appendix A. Glossary”. Any <xref> to the appendix will display only the generated label as the cross-reference’s text, “Appendix A”. Brackets or other types of punctuation to enclose the cross-reference must be present in the narrative text.
If an @xreflabel is used (rare occurrence), its value (e.g., xreflabel="Appendix I") will display as a label preceding the title, “Appendix I. Glossary”. Any cross-reference (<xref>) to the appendix will display only the @xreflabel value as the text of the cross-reference, “Appendix I”; punctuation to enclose the cross-reference must be present in the narrative text.
