\chapter{References}

\label{sec:references}
|
|
|
|
If we want to make references, like \enquote{\textellipsis , which you can see in figure 21, \textellipsis}, \LaTeX{} by default provides as with the command \mintinline{latex}{\ref{label}}. No more adapting of the numbering for graphics, tables, etc. needed!
|
|
the command expects a unique label as argument, that needs to be assigned to the referenced element. After that, wherever we call the command, the number of our referenced object appears in the text.
|
|
\Example{lst:fooboar-learning-latex}{references/ref}{references/ref_crop}{Example for a reference}
|
|
|
|
A smarter package for references is \texttt{cleverref}.\footnote{with only one \enquote{r}!}
|
|
It provides us with the command \mintinline{latex}{\cref{label}}, which can also handle multiple labels separated by commas.
|
|
This automatically generates text like \enquote{sections 1 to 3, and 5}.\footnote{for the source code \mintinline{latex}{\cref{sec:section1,sec:section2,
|
|
sec:section3,sec:section5}}}
|
|
Furthermore \mintinline{latex}{\cref{label}} automatically inserts a suited abbreviaton, e.\,g., \enquote{fig.} for figures.
|
|
|
|
We can reference graphics, tables, sections, chapters, source code listings, and equations.
|
|
Many packages use the label in order to find out the object type of the referenced element.
|
|
For this reason, it is common to insert a prefix before each label (\cref{lst:reference-prefixes}).
|
|
|
|
\begin{table}[H]
|
|
\centering
|
|
\begin{tabular}{@{}llll@{}}
|
|
\toprule
|
|
Prefix & Object Type & Prefix & Object Type \\ \midrule
|
|
fig: & figures & tbl: & tables \\
|
|
sec: & sections & subsec: & subsections \\
|
|
ch: & chapters & itm: & items \\
|
|
eq: & equations & lst: & source Code Listings \\ \bottomrule
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
\caption{Prefixes for labels}
|
|
\label{lst:reference-prefixes}
|
|
\end{table}
|
|
|
|
Note that, if we use \mintinline{latex}{\cref{label}}, for some document classes, the generated passages only appear in the desired language (e.\,g., German) when the language is specified already within the document class command:
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{latex}
|
|
\documentclass[ngerman]{article}
|
|
\end{minted}
|
|
|
|
\noindent Except for sections, captions\footnote{\mintinline{latex}{\caption{…}}} \emph{always need to be specified and positioned before the label}. Otherwise, they cannot be referenced later on in the text.
|
|
Labels for sections are inserted directly after the command:
|
|
|
|
\begin{minted}{latex}
|
|
\section{Comments}\label{sec:hints}
|
|
\end{minted}
