Your code example is broken, but let's not care about that for now.

So the appendix case is kind of special.  Really what we want is to
inject a command before the insertion of the appendix.  Due to the
nature of LaTeX this is easy.  I often do something like

* appendix pre :ignoreheading:
#+LATEX: \appendix
* my appendix
  content

However, perhaps a property specifying a command to be inserted before
the headline is more appropriate.  Then, we could write the above as

* my appendix 
  :PROPERTIES:
  :LATEX_PRE_HEADING: \appendix
  :HTML_PRE_HEADING: <appendix>
  :HTML_POST_HEADING: </appendix>
  :END:
  content

which would export

   \appendix
   \section{my appendix}
   content
   
Of course, in the above example it would be better to set the property
HTML_CONTAINER to appendix for html export.
