16. CROSS REFERENCINGIf you are defining your own macro that sets a counter, the counter value will be invisibleto any \label unless it is set using \refstepcounter.\fref{〈labstr〉} \figurerefname\tref{〈labstr〉} \tablerefname\pref{〈labstr〉} \pagerefnameThe class provides these more particular named references to a figure, table or page. Forexample the default definitions of \fref and \pref are\newcommand{\fref}[1]{\figurerefname~\ref{#1}}\newcommand{\pref}[1]{\pagerefname~\pageref{#1}}and can be used as\ldots footnote parameters are shown in~\fref{fig:fn}on~\pref{fig:fn}.which in this document prints as:. . . footnote parameters are shown in Figure 12.1 on page 235.\Aref{〈labstr〉} \appendixrefname\Bref{〈labstr〉} \bookrefname\Pref{〈labstr〉} \partrefname\Cref{〈labstr〉} \chapterrefname\Sref{〈labstr〉} \sectionrefnameSimilarly, specific commands are supplied for referencing sectional divisions; \Aref forAppendix , \Bref for Book , \Pref for Part , \Cref for Chapter , and \Sref for divisionsbelow Chapter . For example:This is \Sref{sec:lab&ref} in \Cref{chap:xref}.This is §16.1 in Chapter 16.16.2 REFERENCE BY NAMEIn technical works it is common to reference a chapter, say, by its number. In non-technicalworks such cross references are likely to be rare, and when they are given it is more likelythat the chapter title would be used instead of the number, as in:The chapter \textit{\titleref{chap:bringhurst}} describes \ldotsThe chapter An example book design describes . . .There are two packages, nameref [Rahtz01] and titleref [Ars01a], that let you refer tothings by name instead of number.Name references were added to the class as a consequence of adding a second optionalargument to the sectioning commands. I found that this broke the nameref package, andhence the hyperref package as well, so they had to be fixed. The change also broke DonaldArseneau’s titleref package, and it turned out that nameref also clobbered titleref. Theclass also provides titles, like \poemtitle, that are not recognised by either of the packages.From my viewpoint the most efficient thing to do was to enable the class itself toprovide name referencing.296\titleref{〈labstr〉}
