3.8 Referencing Sections, Tables and Figures

Its fairly common for a document to reference a figure, e.g. "see Fig-1.2". However, since sections, tables, and figures are automatically renumbered as needed, you can't safely just hard code a number in the document. Instead you should use the see construct

  <<see: Section_title>>
  <<see: fig:figure_name>>
  <<see: table:table_name>>

The identifier for a section is derived from the section title by substituting all problematic characters with an underscore. For example, see 3.3 or see Syntax section .

The identifier for a figure is derived from the figure file name by substituting all problematic characters with an underscore. Figure identifier is always prefixed by fig: prefix.

The identifier for a table is derived from OPTIONS specification within the table - if there was no OPTIONS spec, then the table is unreferencable. The table identifier is always prefixed by table: prefix.
