OK, but just for future reference, here is the scoop on appendix *in* article. The title is generated from a gentext template located in common/en.xml, contained in the l:context name="title-numbered" that looks like this:

  <l:template name="article/appendix" text="%n. %t"/>

The gentext template for just name="appendix" looks like this:

  <l:template name="appendix" text="Appendix %n. %t"/>

To add "Appendix" to the appendix in article, you could use the local.l10n.xml parameter to customize it to:

  <l:template name="article/appendix" text="Appendix %n. %t"/>

That process is described here:

This "article/appendix" gentext template is the only example in the stylesheets that shows how you can specify a lineage on an element to modify its gentext output for different contexts.

Perhaps it's because it's an article. I'll go and retry as a book.


As a book containing an article followed by the appendix, it is
processed as Appendix A: Blah

This will do fine, and has the advantage that the appendix starts on a
new page. Thanks anyway.
