Glad it worked. As you probably have guessed, for any LaTeX counter e.g.
section, but also custom-made ones e.g. mycounter:
* mycounter is the current count of the said counter;
* \mycounter calls a new mycounter-numbered item (and increments)
* \themycounter is the typeset form that it will display. You have the
options of using \arabic{mycounter}, \alph{mycounter}, \Alph{mycounter},
\roman{mycounter}, \Roman{mycounter} depending on how you want the
numbers output. You can then freely mix it with custom text, like the
brackets in your case.

Yes, I don't use Appendix much myself, so I only discovered that.
Beginning an appendix seems to reset the numbering pattern...

... so, just after the beginning of your appendix, insert a TeX field
with

\renewcommand{\thesection}{[\Roman{section}]}

assuming you want the customary appendix sections numbering: [A],
[B], ... (or \arabic{section} if you prefer numeric numbering).

However, I've not tested much, but I suspect some language packages
could conflict with that.

J'ai compris :-)
