[Tex/LaTex] Labels and Cross-referencing in items

cross-referencingitemize

I have itemize environment and I want to cross-reference between two items. How do I do that?

The easiest way to refer to all types of lists, is to use the packages enumitem and enumitem-zref. Then you may refer to all three types of list.

If you want to refer items in a bullet list, you have to set up enumitem-zref correctly. I have to refer you to the manual, which describes the set up in detail.

If you only want to refer to enumerated lists, you can do that easely with enumitem. Take a look at section 3 in the enumitem-manual, to find out how to set up references. You just give the item a \label:

\begin{enumerate}
   \item this is an item \label{itemone}
   \item this is an item \label{itemtwo}
\end{enumerate}

In the text, you refer to the items with \ref{itemone} and \ref{itemtwo}.

[Tex/LaTex] Cross-referencing between different files

You can use the xr package to reference to other LaTeX document.

So in chapterII.tex you say:

\usepackage{xr}
\externaldocument{chapterI}

And then can use \ref{a} like normal. You can also add a prefix:

\externaldocument[I-]{chapterI}

then you can reference it as \ref{I-a} which is useful if you have identical label names in different chapters.

Note that the normal xr doesn't add hyperlinks. It only adds the label text. The zref package can be used for this. It provides the zref-xr subpackage which gives you the same functionality and should work fine with hyperref (after all both packages are from the same author). You only need to replace \externaldocument with \zexternaldocument as well as \ref with \zref.

Note that the xr package reads the aux file, e.g. in this case, it checks chapterI.aux for references.

[Tex/LaTex] custom counter and cross-referencing

There are tricky timing issues in your problem. If you are going to prepare a table of contents the thing as it is now will bomb out.

Probably the best thing to do is to use a two-pass strategy:

\newcounter{rtaskno}
\newcommand{\rtask}[1]{\refstepcounter{rtaskno}\label{#1}}

When you want to use the task number in your section titles you'll write

\rtask{label}
\section{Task \ref{label}. Blah}
