Table Appendix Labeling #75

Closed augustfly closed 5 years ago

augustfly commented 5 years ago

An author asserts that old versions of AASTeX (or maybe plain article latex) could be crafted so that a Table in the appendix is labeled, "A1" etc. AASTeX v6.2 appears to prevent this labeling.

I can't confirm if this assertion is true or not or if there is a bug where the table is floating away from the label renewcommands or if AASTeX is disabling the label or what. This definitely need more work

Our nominal style is to continue Table numbering from the main text into the appendix so even if this were a bug it is a bug that acts according to our style. sort of.

I'm having the same problem. Adding:

\def\fnum@figure{Figure \Alph{section}\thefigure:}
\def\fnum@table{Table \Alph{section}\thetable:}

to the .cls file in the APPENDIX section fixed half the problem. The tables are now properly labelled as "A1", but the table references are not.

Thanks @gmzsebastian. I was wrong above. Figure numbering is suppose to be continuous into appendices but for some reason our style permits tables/equations to be restarted with A.1 etc. Nevertheless I can't conclude that this is an intentional feature of aastex right now. Marking it as a bug to be dealt with in v6.3.
