Cross references

You will, and should, most likely use cross references in your text like referring to a table, image, chapter or section somewhere else in the text. For this you need to make a label, and then refer to it.

The steps

1. Open the .tex file containing the part you want to refer to.
2. Insert:

   \label{someLabel}
   

   inside the text. Examples:

   \chapter{Conclusion \label{conclusion}}
   \section{Microsoft sucks \label{MSsucks}}
   \figcaption{Image showing how they suck. \label{MSsucksImage}}
   

3. Open the .tex file containing the text that wants to refer to the above parts.
4. Insert:

   \ref{someLabel}
   

   inside the text. Examples:

   In the Conclusion, see Chapter \ref{conclusion}, we showed in Section \ref{MSsucks}
   quite visually in Figure \ref{MSsucksImage} how much Microsoft suck.
