Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but with the recent converstaion about
latex I was wondering if someone could help me? I'm writing a document in
latex and I can use \ref and \label to identify figures fine. So if I put
\ref{something}, it will print the number of the figure called using
\label{something}
However when I try to do the same thing with a reference to a table, it
prints the section the table is in, instead of the number of the table. I can
show the number of tables with \arabic{table}, but when I put \ref{a_table},
it prints the section number of the table instead of the table's number. Eg
2.3.4 instead of 3.
Please help, I'm sure I'm just missing something simple but the documentation
doesn't help :-(
Thanks :-)

It's hard to know what the problem is unless you show us some code or the
log file. Is the label inside the table environment? Check to see if the
label definition is unique, ie. you didn't use it for the section label
also.

What you want to achieve can only be done if you put the table in a
table float, e.g.
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular} ...
...
...
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:a-table}
\caption{blablabla}
\end{table}

I think that's wrong. Have you tried it?
The \label needs to be in a \caption.
-
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\section{test}
\section{test}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
s l \\
s ll
\end{tabular}
\caption{
\label{tab:a-table}
blablabla}
\end{table}
See table~\ref{tab:a-table}.
\end{document}
-
In the example, table 1 is in section 2. The output should say
``See table 1.''.

Re: Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi,
Here is some of the doc
This is the end of one of my tables...
---
$y$ 0.00027 0.00034 0.00042 0.00050 0.00057 0.00065\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:dec}
\caption{Decimal Search Values}
\end{table}
--
and this is where I try to reference it
--
These are included in table~\ref{tab:dec}
--
Doing it like this seems ok to me, and works with figures, but in this case the
reference prints the section/location of the table instead of it's number.
Thanks.

Re: Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi, Thanks for the help. It's working fine now :-). Should I nest the labels like this when I do figures as well, or is it not important? -- Andy Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd!, Edmund Blackadder

The \label needs to be in a \caption.
Well, actually I haven't tried right before writing the
answer. Sorry. On the other hand, the way I described how to do it is
the way my Emacs editor prompts me how to do it. The following works
for me:
\documentclass[11pt]{artikel3}
\begin{document}
In table~\ref{tab:tabel1} we see blablabla, while in
table~\ref{tab:tabel2} we see bliblibli.
\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{tabular}{ll}
bla bla \\
bla bla \\
bla bla \\
bla bla \\
\end{tabular}
\caption{De blablabla tabel}
\label{tab:tabel1}
\end{table}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{tabular}{ll}
bli bli \\
bli bli \\
bli bli \\
bli bli \\
\end{tabular}
\caption{De bliblibli tabel}
\label{tab:tabel2}
\end{table}
\end{document}

The \label command must be placed after the \caption, or inside it's argument.
So my documentation say, so maybe you have the wrong docs... Lamport's LaTeX
book is among the best on this topic.

Re: Referencing Tables in Latex?
Hi, I'd like to say thanks for all the great info I've had in such a short space of time. It seems to work fine when I embed the \label inside the \caption, but I'll try with the \label afterwards to see what happens.
