How to end the supplementary part?

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Brigitte Bruijns on June 19, 2021

I am writing a thesis and after some chapters I would like to include some supplementary information. I use

beginsupplement 

to start my supplement . But how do I end it? My next chapter does now also contain figures and tables that start with ‘S’.

I also used:

newcommand{beginsupplement}{%
    setcounter{table}{0}
    renewcommand{thetable}{Sarabic{table}}%
    setcounter{figure}{0}
    renewcommand{thefigure}{Sarabic{figure}}%
}

I think it would be better to use an environment. Environments use grouping, so changes that you make at the start don't affect things after the environment ends. As a demonstration:

documentclass{article}
newenvironment{fred}{renewcommandaaa{AAA}}{}
newcommandaaa{BBB}
begin{document}
aaa
begin{fred}
aaa
end{fred}
aaa
end{document}

This produces BBB AAA BBB. Your case is similar; just put the renewcommands and setcounters in the first argument to newenvironment.

This is my solution. Posting as it may be useful for others.

In the preamble

% make supplementary sections in chapters be numbered with letters
newcommand{opensupplement}{
    setcounter{section}{0}
    renewcommandthesection{thechapter.Alph{section}}
}
% restore the numbering system to arabic for the following chapter's sections
newcommand{closesupplement}{
    renewcommandthesection{thechapter.arabic{section}}
}

In the document:

opensupplement

section{Supplementary section 1}
(...)
section{Supplementary section 2}
(...)
closesupplement

I was having a similar issue, where after using beginsupplment every other chapter started with S1-SX. My solution was to create a new command to close the supplements and restore the table and figure labels to chapter.figure

 newcommand{closesupplement}{
    renewcommand{thetable}{thechapter.arabic{table}}
     renewcommand{thefigure}{thechapter.arabic{figure}}
     }
