[comp.text] LaTeX table numbering bug?

rro@lll-lcc.aRpA (Rod Oldehoeft) (05/30/87)

[]
Using LaTeX and article style, I have figures that are consecutively
numbered and correctly referred to via "\ref".  I have tables that
are independently consecutively numbered--so far, so good.  But when
I refer to a table via "\ref{labeloftable}" I get the section or
subsection that "\ref" occurs in.  Lamport's book says this is
supposed to happen in report and book style, but not in article.
Here, however, we get consecutive numbering in captions and something
else in referring to it.

Is this my problem, a bug in article.sty, or something else?  Anyone
else see this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't have the answer offhand (and may never) but I would like to
suggest prople with LaTeX/TeX questions mail their questions to

	texhax@score.stanford.edu

on the Internet. There are many knowledgeable people on this list,
including Lamport himself. If you want to subscribe to the list, mail
to

	texhax-request@score.stanford.edu

not the previous address. I repeat: do not mail administrative requests
to the first address.

There is a special address for BITNET redistribution. I think it is
TEX-L at TAMVM1. I can't find the info now. Your BITNET administrator
might be able to tell you.
