Appendixes usually occur at the end of a document.
Formatted as a displayed block. Usually introduces a forced page break and often starts on the next recto page. Sometimes restarts page numbering. Typically, appendixes are lettered rather than numbered, and appear in the table of contents.
The following elements occur in appendix:
abstract, address, anchor, appendixinfo, authorblurb, beginpage, bibliography, bibliolist, blockquote, bridgehead, calloutlist, caution, classsynopsis, cmdsynopsis, constraintdef, constructorsynopsis, destructorsynopsis, epigraph, equation, example, fieldsynopsis, figure, formalpara, funcsynopsis, glossary, glosslist, graphic, graphicco, highlights, important, index, indexterm, informalequation, informalexample, informalfigure, informaltable, itemizedlist, literallayout, lot, mediaobject, mediaobjectco, methodsynopsis, msgset, note, orderedlist, para, procedure, productionset, programlisting, programlistingco, qandaset, refentry, remark, screen, screenco, screenshot, sect1, section, segmentedlist, sidebar, simpara, simplelist, simplesect, subtitle, synopsis, table, task, tip, title, titleabbrev, toc, tocchap, variablelist, warning.
Label specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes. The second Appendix might be
labeled “B”, for example.
Generally, an explicit Label attribute is
used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label
automatically. If present, the Label
is normative; it will used even
if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.
Status identifies the editorial or publication
status of the Appendix.
Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example, printing a “draft” watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps a document with a status of “final” should not include any components that are not final).
