[Tex/LaTex] Section references in RevTex 4.1

cross-referencingrevtex

How does one reference sections in RevTex4.1? I've tried

  • \section{\label{sec:Coupling}Coupling Efficiency}
  • \section{Coupling Efficiency\label{sec:Coupling}}
  • \section{Coupling Efficiency}\label{sec:Coupling}

But, in all cases \ref{sec:Coupling} has no error but simply prints a white space.

Here is a small doc that demonstrates the probelm (for one permutation):

\documentclass[12pt,preprint,longbibliography,aps,prl]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

\title{stuffing}
\author{John doe}

\begin{abstract}
stuff stuff stuff
\end{abstract}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
stuff stuff reference~\ref{sec:Coupling}

\section{\label{sec:Coupling}Coupling Efficiency}
stuff

\end{document}

Best Answer

With the prl option of REVTeX section numbering is omitted, hence no reference is typeset, because plain \ref retrives only the section number. If you cancel this option you will have working references again.
