[Tex/LaTex] Changing the output of \vref

cross-referencingvarioref

I'm using \vref for labels in my text. I'd like to change it in the output form X on p. Y instead of X on page Y. How can I do it?

It seems you are using the varioref package. You have to redefine \reftextfaraway. Solution without babel:

\documentclass[twoside]{article}

\usepackage{varioref}

\renewcommand*{\reftextfaraway}[1]{on p.~\pageref{#1}}

\begin{document}

\section{foo}\label{sec:foo}

Some text.

\cleardoublepage

\section{bar}

See section~\vref{sec:foo}.

\end{document}

Solution with babel:

\documentclass[twoside]{article}

\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{varioref}

\addto\extrasenglish{%
  \renewcommand*{\reftextfaraway}[1]{on p.~\pageref{#1}}%
}

\begin{document}

\section{foo}\label{sec:foo}

Some text.

\cleardoublepage

\section{bar}

See section~\vref{sec:foo}.

\end{document}

Output for both solutions (page 3):

Section 2.3 of the documentation details that you can use

\labelformat{equation}{(#1)}

so that \vref works as you would want it to for equations.

In fact, following egreg's comment, one should have the reference typeset upright, even if it is contained in environment that is (for example) italic.

A complete MWE follows.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{varioref}

% this bit makes sure that the number is typeset upright- needs amsmath
\makeatletter
\labelformat{equation}{\tagform@{#1}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}\label{eq:myequation}
    f(x)=x^2+\sin(x)
\end{equation}
Here is a reference: \vref{eq:myequation}.

\emph{Here is another reference: \vref{eq:myequation}.}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] \vref and input command

The key piece of information, I believe, is that you load the hyperref package before the varioref package.

A solution to the problems you report consists of (a) loading varioref before hyperref and (b) loading cleveref as well, after hyperref. The reason this works is that when cleveref is loaded, it checks if varioref is loaded and, if the answer is yes, modifies some of varioref's internals in order to improve interoperability with cleveref. (Of course, for this to work cleveref must be loaded after varioref...) In the process, varioref also becomes more compatible -- I'm not sure if it's OK to say fully compatible -- with hyperref. For more information on this matter, see the posting Lost labels using intertext with varioref and hyperref.

In short, if you load the packages varioref, hyperref, and cleveref in this order, you should be able to use \vref without further problems.
