This linking capacity is great and I'm using it a lot. The only detail remaining here that I'm still searching is how to include the table/figure # also with the link. This is because if someone prints the report, the link becomes unusable without a number. An example would be: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Lorem ipsum... #+CAPTION: A beautiful caption for this table. #+NAME: table:tablename #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable [the table] A lot of text, going pages long. In this paragraph, there is a [[tablename][link to the table]]. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This renders the link perfectly, but in the linked text <link to the table> there is no further reference. How can the (automagically added) number be included, like in <link to the table #12)? Just for the sake of making it ultra complete (I don't feel it necessary really), the link could use the id only to point, and be rendered as <table # (page N)>. I'm sure it's there but even having read the manual I still lack the emacspeak to find it, or maybe to understand that I already read over it. :) Anyway, Have a great day... -- eduardo mercovich Donde se cruzan tus talentos con las necesidades del mundo, ahí está tu vocación.
