Latex Section Label

Open an example in overleaf.

Latex section label. One of the most useful and occasionally underrated properties of latex is the ease and power of its labeling system. Newcounter example section creates a new counter called example that will be reset every time the section counter is increased. Note that section headings created this way will not be listed in the table of contents tableofcontents for example you can get a section without a number using the following command.

The label command should be added after the counter number for the section has been generated. The label is set after the section statement i e. Instead latex will replace the string ref marker with the right number that was assigned to the object.

See sections and chapters. Latex can organize number and index chapters and sections of document. In this l a t e x snippet the new environment example is defined this environment has 3 counting specific commands.

In latex you can easily reference a section by using label next to a section and then ref to create the reference. Latex will calculate the right numbering for the objects in the document. I would like to insert a reference containing the text of the section.

Open an example in overleaf. Part and chapter are only available in report and book document classes. Section or chapter numbering is restarted and the representation of the counter switches to alphabetic.

The command appendix switches the document from generating sections in article class or chapters in report or book classes to producing appendixes. Appendixes latex provides an exceedingly simple mechanism for appendixes. You can put any other counter instead of section or omit the parameter if you don t want your defined counter to be automatically reset.
