<h3 class="section">5.4 <code>@unnumbered</code>, <code>@appendix</code>: Chapters with Other Labeling</h3>

Use the <code>@unnumbered</code> command to start a chapter-level element
that appears without chapter numbers of any kind. Use the
<code>@appendix</code> command to start an appendix that is labeled by
letter (&lsquo;A&rsquo;, &lsquo;B&rsquo;, &hellip;) instead of by number; appendices are also
at the chapter level of structuring.

Write an <code>@appendix</code> or <code>@unnumbered</code> command at the
beginning of a line and follow it on the same line by the title,
just as with <code>@chapter</code>.


Texinfo also provides a command <code>@centerchap</code>, which is analogous
to <code>@unnumbered</code>, but centers its argument in the printed and HTML
outputs. This kind of stylistic choice is not usually offered by
Texinfo. It may be suitable for short documents.



With <code>@unnumbered</code>, if the name of the associated node is one of
these English words (case-insensitive):

<div class="example">
<pre class="example">Acknowledgements Colophon Dedication Preface
</pre></div>

then the Docbook output uses corresponding special tags
(<code>&lt;preface&gt;</code>, etc.) instead of the default <code>&lt;chapter&gt;</code>.
The argument to <code>@unnumbered</code> itself can be anything, and is
output as the following <code>&lt;title&gt;</code> text as usual.
