[comp.text.tex] How to do reference in caption env.?

wai@swift.cs.tcd.ie (07/27/90)

Can somebody knows how to put this in LaTeX

\begin{figure}
...
\caption{... \ref{ref:count}}
\end{figure}

assume ref:count has been defined earlier in the document.

TeX keeps complaining that there is an extra '}' in @caption ...

Thanks!

try reading the LaTeX book. it explains clearly (?) that you need a
\protect in front of \ref
