Using these macros usually requires looking up -different parts of the document and searching through BibTeX database -files. @b{Ref@TeX{}} automates these time--consuming tasks almost -entirely. It also provides functions to display the structure of a -document and to move around in this structure quickly. - -@iftex -Don't be discouraged by the size of this manual, which covers @b{Ref@TeX{}} -in great depth. All you need to know to use @b{Ref@TeX{}} can be -summarized on two pages (@pxref{RefTeX in a Nutshell}). You can go -back later to other parts of this document when needed. -@end iftex - -@xref{Imprint}, for information about who to contact for help, bug -reports or suggestions. - -@menu -* Installation:: How to install and activate RefTeX. -* RefTeX in a Nutshell:: A brief summary and quick guide. -@end menu - -@node Installation, RefTeX in a Nutshell, , Introduction -@section Installation -@cindex Installation - -@b{Ref@TeX{}} is bundled and pre--installed with Emacs since version -20.2. It was also bundled and pre--installed with XEmacs 19.16--20.x. -XEmacs 21.x users want to install the corresponding plug-in package -which is available from the @value{XEMACSFTP}. See the XEmacs 21.x -documentation on package installation for details. - -Users of earlier Emacs distributions (including Emacs 19) can get a copy -of the @b{Ref@TeX{}} distribution from the maintainers web-page. -@xref{Imprint}, for more information. - -@section Environment -@cindex Finding files -@cindex BibTeX database files, not found -@cindex TeX files, not found -@cindex @code{TEXINPUTS}, environment variable -@cindex @code{BIBINPUTS}, environment variable - -@b{Ref@TeX{}} needs to access all files which are part of a multifile -document, and the BibTeX database files requested by the -@code{\bibliography} command. To find these files, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will -require a search path, i.e. a list of directories to check. Normally -this list is stored in the environment variables @code{TEXINPUTS} and -@code{BIBINPUTS} which are also used by @b{Ref@TeX{}}. However, on some -systems these variables do not contain the full search path. If -@b{Ref@TeX{}} does not work for you because it cannot find some files, -read @ref{Finding Files}. - -@section Entering @b{Ref@TeX{}} Mode - -@findex turn-on-reftex -@findex reftex-mode -@vindex LaTeX-mode-hook -@vindex latex-mode-hook -To turn @b{Ref@TeX{}} Mode on and off in a particular buffer, use -@kbd{M-x reftex-mode}. To turn on @b{Ref@TeX{}} Mode for all LaTeX -files, add the following lines to your @file{.emacs} file: - -@example -(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode -(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with Emacs latex mode -@end example - -@page -@node RefTeX in a Nutshell, , Installation, Introduction -@section @b{Ref@TeX{}} in a Nutshell -@cindex Quick-Start -@cindex Getting Started -@cindex RefTeX in a Nutshell -@cindex Nutshell, RefTeX in a - -@enumerate -@item -@b{Table of Contents}@* Typing @kbd{C-c =} (@code{reftex-toc}) will show -a table of contents of the document. This buffer can display sections, -labels and index entries defined in the document. From the buffer, you -can jump quickly to every part of your document. Press @kbd{?} to get -help. - -@item -@b{Labels and References}@* @b{Ref@TeX{}} helps to create unique labels -and to find the correct key for references quickly. It distinguishes -labels for different environments, knows about all standard -environments (and many others), and can be configured to recognize any -additional labeled environments you have defined yourself (variable -@code{reftex-label-alist}). - -@itemize @bullet -@item -@b{Creating Labels}@* -Type @kbd{C-c (} (@code{reftex-label}) to insert a label at point. -@b{Ref@TeX{}} will either -@itemize @minus -@item -derive a label from context (default for section labels) -@item -prompt for a label string (default for figures and tables) or -@item -insert a simple label made of a prefix and a number (all other -environments) -@end itemize -@noindent -Which labels are created how is configurable with the variable -@code{reftex-insert-label-flags}. - -@item -@b{Referencing Labels}@* To make a reference, type @kbd{C-c )} -(@code{reftex-reference}). This shows an outline of the document with -all labels of a certain type (figure, equation,...) and some label -context. Selecting a label inserts a @code{\ref@{@var{label}@}} macro -into the original buffer. -@end itemize - -@item -@b{Citations}@* -Typing @kbd{C-c [} (@code{reftex-citation}) will let you specify a -regular expression to search in current BibTeX database files (as -specified in the @code{\bibliography} command) and pull out a list of -matches for you to choose from. The list is @emph{formatted} and -sorted. The selected article is referenced as @samp{\cite@{@var{key}@}} -(see the variable @code{reftex-cite-format} if you want to insert -different macros). - -@item -@b{Index Support}@* -@b{Ref@TeX{}} helps to enter index entries. It also compiles all -entries into an alphabetically sorted @file{*Index*} buffer which you -can use to check and edit the entries. @b{Ref@TeX{}} knows about the -standard index macros and can be configured to recognize any additional -macros you have defined (@code{reftex-index-macros}). Multiple indices -are supported. - -@itemize @bullet -@item -@b{Creating Index Entries}@* -To index the current selection or the word at point, type @kbd{C-c /} -(@code{reftex-index-selection-or-word}). The default macro -@code{reftex-index-default-macro} will be used. For a more complex entry -type @kbd{C-c <} (@code{reftex-index}), select any of the index macros -and enter the arguments with completion. - -@item -@b{The Index Phrases File (Delayed Indexing)}@* -Type @kbd{C-c \} (@code{reftex-index-phrase-selection-or-word}) to add -the current word or selection to a special @emph{index phrase file}. -@b{Ref@TeX{}} can later search the document for occurrences of these -phrases and let you interactively index the matches. - -@item -@b{Displaying and Editing the Index}@* -To display the compiled index in a special buffer, type @kbd{C-c >} -(@code{reftex-display-index}). From that buffer you can check and edit -all entries. -@end itemize - -@page -@item @b{Viewing Cross-References}@* -When point is on the @var{key} argument of a cross--referencing macro -(@code{\label}, @code{\ref}, @code{\cite}, @code{\bibitem}, -@code{\index}, and variations) or inside a BibTeX database entry, you -can press @kbd{C-c &} (@code{reftex-view-crossref}) to display -corresponding locations in the document and associated BibTeX database -files. @* -When the enclosing macro is @code{\cite} or @code{\ref} and no other -message occupies the echo area, information about the citation or label -will automatically be displayed in the echo area. - -@item -@b{Multifile Documents}@* -Multifile Documents are fully supported. The included files must have a -file variable @code{TeX-master} or @code{tex-main-file} pointing to the -master file. @b{Ref@TeX{}} provides cross-referencing information from -all parts of the document, and across document borders -(@file{xr.sty}). - -@item -@b{Document Parsing}@* @b{Ref@TeX{}} needs to parse the document in -order to find labels and other information. It does it automatically -once and updates its list internally when @code{reftex-label} and -@code{reftex-index} are used. To enforce reparsing, call any of the -commands described above with a raw @kbd{C-u} prefix, or press the -@kbd{r} key in the label selection buffer, the table of contents -buffer, or the index buffer. - -@item -@b{AUCTeX} @* If your major LaTeX mode is AUCTeX, @b{Ref@TeX{}} can -cooperate with it (see variable @code{reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX}). AUCTeX -contains style files which trigger appropriate settings in -@b{Ref@TeX{}}, so that for many of the popular LaTeX packages no -additional customizations will be necessary. - -@item -@b{Useful Settings}@* -To integrate RefTeX with AUCTeX, use -@lisp -(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t) -@end lisp - -To make your own LaTeX macro definitions known to @b{Ref@TeX{}}, -customize the variables -@example -@code{reftex-label-alist} @r{(for label macros/environments)} -@code{reftex-section-levels} @r{(for sectioning commands)} -@code{reftex-cite-format} @r{(for @code{\cite}-like macros)} -@code{reftex-index-macros} @r{(for @code{\index}-like macros)} -@code{reftex-index-default-macro} @r{(to set the default macro)} -@end example -If you have a large number of macros defined, you may want to write -an AUCTeX style file to support them with both AUCTeX and -@b{Ref@TeX{}}. - -@item @b{Where Next?}@* Go ahead and use @b{Ref@TeX{}}. Use its menus -until you have picked up the key bindings. For an overview of what you -can do in each of the different special buffers, press @kbd{?}. Read -the manual if you get stuck, of if you are curious what else might be -available. The first part of the manual explains in -a tutorial way how to use and customize @b{Ref@TeX{}}. The second -part is a command and variable reference. -@end enumerate - -@node Table of Contents, Labels and References, Introduction, Top -@chapter Table of Contents -@cindex @file{*toc*} buffer -@cindex Structure editing -@cindex Table of contents buffer -@findex reftex-toc -@kindex C-c = - -Pressing the keys @kbd{C-c =} pops up a buffer showing the table of -contents of the document. By default, this @file{*toc*} buffer shows -only the sections of a document. Using the @kbd{l} and @kbd{i} keys you -can display all labels and index entries defined in the document as -well. - -With the cursor in any of the lines denoting a location in the -document, simple key strokes will display the corresponding part in -another window, jump to that location, or perform other actions. - -@kindex ? -Here is a list of special commands in the @file{*toc*} buffer. A -summary of this information is always available by pressing -@kbd{?}. - -@table @kbd - -@tablesubheading{General} -@item ? -Display a summary of commands. - -@item 0-9, - -Prefix argument. - -@tablesubheading{Moving around} -@item n -Goto next entry in the table of context. - -@item p -Goto previous entry in the table of context. - -@item C-c C-n -Goto next section heading. Useful when many labels and index entries -separate section headings. - -@item C-c C-p -Goto previous section heading. - -@item N z -Jump to section N, using the prefix arg. For example, @kbd{3 z} jumps -to section 3. - -@tablesubheading{Access to document locations} -@item @key{SPC} -Show the corresponding location in another window. This command does -@emph{not} select that other window. - -@item @key{TAB} -Goto the location in another window. - -@item @key{RET} -Go to the location and hide the @file{*toc*} buffer. This will restore -the window configuration before @code{reftex-toc} (@kbd{C-c =}) was -called. - -@item mouse-2 -@vindex reftex-highlight-selection -Clicking with mouse button 2 on a line has the same effect as @key{RET}. -See also variable @code{reftex-highlight-selection}, @ref{Options -(Fontification)}. - -@item f -@vindex reftex-toc-follow-mode -@vindex reftex-revisit-to-follow -Toggle follow mode. When follow mode is active, the other window will -always show the location corresponding to the line at point in the -@file{*toc*} buffer. This is similar to pressing @key{SPC} after each -cursor motion. The default for this flag can be set with the variable -@code{reftex-toc-follow-mode}. Note that only context in files already -visited is shown. @b{Ref@TeX{}} will not visit a file just for follow -mode. See, however, the variable -@code{reftex-revisit-to-follow}. - -@item . -Show calling point in another window. This is the point from where -@code{reftex-toc} was last called. - -@page -@tablesubheading{Promotion and Demotion} - -@item < -Promote the current section. This will convert @code{\section} to -@code{\chapter}, @code{\subsection} to @code{\section} etc. If there is -an active region, all sections in the region will be promoted, including -the one at point. To avoid mistakes, @b{Ref@TeX{}} requires a fresh -document scan before executing this command - if necessary, it will -automatically do this scan and ask the user to repeat the promotion -command. - -@item > -Demote the current section. This is the opposite of promotion. It will -convert @code{\chapter} to @code{\section} etc. If there is an active -region, all sections in the region will be demoted, including the one at -point. - -@item M-% -Rename the label at point. While generally not recommended, this can be -useful when a package like @file{fancyref} is used where the label -prefix determines the wording of a reference. After a -promotion/demotion it may be necessary to change a few labels from -@samp{sec:xyz} to @samp{cha:xyz} or vice versa. This command can be -used to do this - it launches a query replace to rename the definition -and all references of a label. - -@tablesubheading{Exiting} -@item q -Hide the @file{*toc*} buffer, return to the position where -@code{reftex-toc} was last called. - -@item k -Kill the @file{*toc*} buffer, return to the position where -@code{reftex-toc} was last called. - -@item C-c > -Switch to the @file{*Index*} buffer of this document. With prefix -@samp{2}, restrict the index to the section at point in the @file{*toc*} -buffer. - -@tablesubheading{Controlling what gets displayed} - -@item t -@vindex reftex-toc-max-level -Change the maximum level of toc entries displayed in the @file{*toc*} -buffer. Without prefix arg, all levels will be included. With prefix -arg (e.g @kbd{3 t}), ignore all toc entries with level greater than -@var{arg} (3 in this case). Chapters are level 1, sections are level 2. -The mode line @samp{T<>} indicator shows the current value. The default -depth can be configured with the variable -@code{reftex-toc-max-level}. - -@item F -@vindex reftex-toc-include-file-boundaries -Toggle the display of the file borders of a multifile document in the -@file{*toc*} buffer. The default for this flag can be set with the -variable @code{reftex-toc-include-file-boundaries}. - -@item l -@vindex reftex-toc-include-labels -Toggle the display of labels in the @file{*toc*} buffer. The default -for this flag can be set with the variable -@code{reftex-toc-include-labels}. When called with a prefix argument, -@b{Ref@TeX{}} will prompt for a label type and include only labels of -the selected type in the @file{*toc*} buffer. The mode line @samp{L<>} -indicator shows which labels are included. - -@item i -@vindex reftex-toc-include-index-entries -Toggle the display of index entries in the @file{*toc*} buffer. The -default for this flag can be set with the variable -@code{reftex-toc-include-index-entries}. When called with a prefix -argument, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will prompt for a specific index and include -only entries in the selected index in the @file{*toc*} buffer. The mode -line @samp{I<>} indicator shows which index is used. - -@item c -@vindex reftex-toc-include-context -Toggle the display of label and index context in the @file{*toc*} -buffer. The default for this flag can be set with the variable -@code{reftex-toc-include-context}. - -@tablesubheading{Updating the buffer} - -@item g -Rebuild the @file{*toc*} buffer. This does @emph{not} rescan the -document. - -@item r -@vindex reftex-enable-partial-scans -Reparse the LaTeX document and rebuild the @file{*toc*} buffer. When -@code{reftex-enable-partial-scans} is non-@code{nil}, rescan only the file this -location is defined in, not the entire document. - -@item C-u r -Reparse the @emph{entire} LaTeX document and rebuild the @file{*toc*} -buffer. - -@item x -Switch to the @file{*toc*} buffer of an external document. When the -current document is using the @code{xr} package (@pxref{xr (LaTeX -package)}), @b{Ref@TeX{}} will switch to one of the external -documents. - - -@tablesubheading{Automatic recentering} - -@item d -Toggle the display of a dedicated frame displaying just the @file{*toc*} -buffer. Follow mode and visiting locations will not work that frame, -but automatic recentering will make this frame always show your current -editing location in the document (see below). - -@item a -Toggle the automatic recentering of the @file{*toc*} buffer. When this -option is on, moving around in the document will cause the @file{*toc*} -to always highlight the current section. By default, this option is -active while the dedicated @file{*TOC*} frame exists. See also the -variable @code{reftex-auto-recenter-toc}. - -@end table - -@vindex reftex-toc-map -In order to define additional commands for the @file{*toc*} buffer, the -keymap @code{reftex-toc-map} may be used. - -@findex reftex-toc-recenter -@vindex reftex-auto-recenter-toc -@vindex reftex-idle-time -@cindex @file{*toc*} buffer, recentering -@cindex Table of contents buffer, recentering -@kindex C-c - -If you call @code{reftex-toc} while the @file{*toc*} buffer already -exists, the cursor will immediately jump to the right place, i.e. the -section from which @code{reftex-toc} was called will be highlighted. -The command @kbd{C-c -} (@code{reftex-toc-recenter}) will only redisplay -the @file{*toc*} buffer and highlight the correct line without actually -selecting the @file{*toc*} window. This can be useful to quickly find -out where in the document you currently are. You can also automate this -by asking RefTeX to keep track of your current editing position in the -TOC. The TOC window will then be updated whenever you stop typing for -more than @code{reftex-idle-time} seconds. By default this works only -with the dedicated @file{*TOC*} frame. But you can also force automatic -recentering of the TOC window on the current frame with -@lisp -(setq reftex-auto-recenter-toc t) -@end lisp - - -@cindex Sectioning commands -@cindex KOMA-Script, LaTeX classes -@cindex LaTeX classes, KOMA-Script -@cindex TOC entries for environments -@vindex reftex-section-levels -The section macros recognized by @b{Ref@TeX{}} are all LaTeX section -macros (from @code{\part} to @code{\subsubparagraph}) and the commands -@code{\addchap} and @code{\addsec} from the KOMA-Script classes. -Additional macros can be configured with the variable -@code{reftex-section-levels}. It is also possible to add certain LaTeX -environments to the table of contents.

When writing a document, any part of it can be marked with a -label, like @samp{\label@{mark@}}. LaTeX records the current value of a -certain counter when a label is defined. Later references to this label -(like @samp{\ref@{mark@}}) will produce the recorded value of the -counter. - -Labels can be used to mark sections, figures, tables, equations, -footnotes, items in enumerate lists etc. LaTeX is context sensitive in -doing this: A label defined in a figure environment automatically -records the figure counter, not the section counter. - -Several different environments can share a common counter and therefore -a common label category. E.g. labels in both @code{equation} and -@code{eqnarray} environments record the value of the same counter - the -equation counter. - -@menu -* Creating Labels:: -* Referencing Labels:: -* Builtin Label Environments:: The environments RefTeX knows about. -* Defining Label Environments:: ... and environments it doesn't. -* Reference Info:: View the label corresponding to a \ref. -* xr (LaTeX package):: References to external documents. -* varioref (LaTeX package):: How to create \vref instead of \ref. -* fancyref (LaTeX package):: How to create \fref instead of \ref. -@end menu - -@node Creating Labels, Referencing Labels, , Labels and References -@section Creating Labels -@cindex Creating labels -@cindex Labels, creating -@cindex Labels, deriving from context -@kindex C-c ( -@findex reftex-label - -In order to create a label in a LaTeX document, press @kbd{C-c (} -(@code{reftex-label}).

A label usually consists of a short prefix -indicating the type of the label and a unique mark. @b{Ref@TeX{}} has -3 different modes to create this mark. - -@enumerate -@item -@vindex reftex-translate-to-ascii-function -@vindex reftex-derive-label-parameters -@vindex reftex-label-illegal-re -@vindex reftex-abbrev-parameters -A label can be derived from context.

At each -occurrence of @samp{Mars} you will be able choose between indexing it as -a subitem of @samp{Planets}, @samp{Gods} or @samp{Chocolate Bars}. -Finally, every occurrence of @samp{Pluto} will be indexed as -@samp{\index@{Planets!Pluto@}\index@{Kuiper Belt Objects!Pluto@}Pluto} -and will therefore create two different index entries. - -@node Consistency Checks, Global Indexing, Collecting Phrases, The Index Phrases File -@subsection Consistency Checks -@cindex Index phrases, consistency checks -@cindex Phrases, consistency checks -@cindex Consistency check for index phrases - -@kindex C-c C-s -Before indexing the phrases in the phrases buffer, they should be -checked carefully for consistency. A first step is to sort the phrases -alphabetically - this is done with the command @kbd{C-c C-s} -(@code{reftex-index-sort-phrases}). It will sort all phrases in the -buffer alphabetically by search phrase. If you want to group certain -phrases and only sort within the groups, insert empty lines between the -groups. Sorting will only change the sequence of phrases within each -group (see the variable @code{reftex-index-phrases-sort-in-blocks}). - -@kindex C-c C-i -A useful command is @kbd{C-c C-i} (@code{reftex-index-phrases-info}) -which lists information about the phrase at point, including an example -of how the index entry will look like and the number of expected matches -in the document. - -@kindex C-c C-t -Another important check is to find out if there are double or -overlapping entries in the buffer.

Here is a short explanation of what the options do: - -@table @i -@item Match Whole Words -When searching for index phrases, make sure whole words are matched. -This should probably always be on. -@item Case Sensitive Search -Search case sensitively for phrases. I recommend to have this setting -off, in order to match the capitalized words at the beginning of a -sentence, and even typos. You can always say @emph{no} at a match you -do not like. -@item Wrap Long Lines -Inserting index macros increases the line length. Turn this option on -to allow @b{Ref@TeX{}} to wrap long lines. -@item Skip Indexed Matches -When this is on, @b{Ref@TeX{}} will at each match try to figure out if -this match is already indexed.

The elements of each list -entry are: - -@table @asis -@item @var{env-or-macro} -Name of the environment (like @samp{table}) or macro (like -@samp{\myfig}). For macros, indicate the arguments, as in -@samp{\myfig[]@{@}@{@}@{*@}@{@}}. Use square brackets for optional -arguments, a star to mark the label argument, if any. The macro does -not have to have a label argument - you could also use -@samp{\label@{...@}} inside one of its arguments. - -Special names: @code{section} for section labels, @code{any} to define a -group which contains all labels. - -This may also be a function to do local parsing and identify point to be -in a non-standard label environment. The function must take an -argument @var{bound} and limit backward searches to this value. It -should return either nil or a cons cell @code{(@var{function} -. @var{position})} with the function symbol and the position where the -special environment starts. See the Info documentation for an -example. - -Finally this may also be @code{nil} if the entry is only meant to change -some settings associated with the type indicator character (see -below). - -@item @var{type-key} -Type indicator character, like @code{?t}, must be a printable ASCII -character. The type indicator is a single character which defines a -label type. Any label inside the environment or macro is assumed to -belong to this type. The same character may occur several times in this -list, to cover cases in which different environments carry the same -label type (like @code{equation} and @code{eqnarray}). If the type -indicator is @code{nil} and the macro has a label argument @samp{@{*@}}, -the macro defines neutral labels just like @code{\label}. In this case -the reminder of this entry is ignored. - -@item @var{label-prefix} -Label prefix string, like @samp{tab:}. The prefix is a short string -used as the start of a label. It may be the empty string. The prefix -may contain the following @samp{%} escapes: - -@example -%f Current file name, directory and extension stripped. -%F Current file name relative to master file directory. -%m Master file name, directory and extension stripped. -%M Directory name (without path) where master file is located. -%u User login name, on systems which support this. -%S A section prefix derived with variable @code{reftex-section-prefixes}. -@end example - -@noindent -Example: In a file @file{intro.tex}, @samp{eq:%f:} will become -@samp{eq:intro:}. - -@item @var{reference-format} -Format string for reference insert in buffer. @samp{%s} will be -replaced by the label. When the format starts with @samp{~}, this -@samp{~} will only be inserted when the character before point is -@emph{not} a whitespace. - -@item @var{context-method} -Indication on how to find the short context. -@itemize @minus -@item -If @code{nil}, use the text following the @samp{\label@{...@}} macro. -@item -If @code{t}, use -@itemize @minus -@item -the section heading for section labels. -@item -text following the @samp{\begin@{...@}} statement of environments (not -a good choice for environments like eqnarray or enumerate, where one has -several labels in a single environment). -@item -text after the macro name (starting with the first arg) for -macros. -@end itemize -@item -If an integer, use the nth argument of the macro. As a special case, -1000 means to get text after the last macro argument. -@item -If a string, use as regexp to search @emph{backward} from the label. -Context is then the text following the end of the match. E.g. putting -this to @samp{\\caption[[@{]} will use the caption in a figure or table -environment. @samp{\\begin@{eqnarray@}\|\\\\} works for -eqnarrays. -@item -If any of @code{caption}, @code{item}, @code{eqnarray-like}, -@code{alignat-like}, this symbol will internally be translated into an -appropriate regexp (see also the variable -@code{reftex-default-context-regexps}). -@item -If a function, call this function with the name of the environment/macro -as argument. On call, point will be just after the @code{\label} macro. -The function is expected to return a suitable context string. It should -throw an exception (error) when failing to find context. As an example, -here is a function returning the 10 chars following the label macro as -context: - -@example -(defun my-context-function (env-or-mac) - (if (> (point-max) (+ 10 (point))) - (buffer-substring (point) (+ 10 (point))) - (error "Buffer too small"))) -@end example -@end itemize - -Label context is used in two ways by @b{Ref@TeX{}}: For display in the label -menu, and to derive a label string. If you want to use a different -method for each of these, specify them as a dotted pair. -E.g. @code{(nil . t)} uses the text after the label (@code{nil}) for -display, and text from the default position (@code{t}) to derive a label -string. This is actually used for section labels. - -@item @var{magic-word-list} -List of magic words which identify a reference to be of this type. If -the word before point is equal to one of these words when calling -@code{reftex-reference}, the label list offered will be automatically -restricted to labels of the correct type. If the first element of this -word--list is the symbol `regexp', the strings are interpreted as regular -expressions. - -@item @var{toc-level} -The integer level at which this environment should be added to the table -of contents. See also @code{reftex-section-levels}. A positive value -will number the entries mixed with the sectioning commands of the same -level. A negative value will make unnumbered entries. Useful only for -theorem-like environments which structure the document. Will be ignored -for macros. When omitted or @code{nil}, no TOC entries will be -made. -@end table - -If the type indicator characters of two or more entries are the same, -@b{Ref@TeX{}} will use -@itemize @minus -@item -the first non-@code{nil} format and prefix -@item -the magic words of all involved entries. -@end itemize - -Any list entry may also be a symbol. If that has an association in -@code{reftex-label-alist-builtin}, the @code{cddr} of that association is -spliced into the list. However, builtin defaults should normally be set -with the variable @code{reftex-default-label-alist-entries}. -@end defopt - -@defopt reftex-section-prefixes -Prefixes for section labels. When the label prefix given in an entry in -@code{reftex-label-alist} contains @samp{%S}, this list is used to -determine the correct prefix string depending on the current section -level. The list is an alist, with each entry of the form -@w{@code{(@var{key} . @var{prefix})}}. Possible keys are sectioning macro -names like @samp{chapter}, integer section levels (as given in -@code{reftex-section-levels}), and @code{t} for the default. -@end defopt - -@defopt reftex-default-context-regexps -Alist with default regular expressions for finding context. The emacs -lisp form @w{@code{(format regexp (regexp-quote environment))}} is used -to calculate the final regular expression - so @samp{%s} will be -replaced with the environment or macro. -@end defopt - -@defopt reftex-trust-label-prefix -Non-@code{nil} means, trust the label prefix when determining label type. -It is customary to use special label prefixes to distinguish different label -types. The label prefixes have no syntactic meaning in LaTeX (unless -special packages like fancyref) are being used. RefTeX can and by -default does parse around each label to detect the correct label type, -but this process can be slow when a document contains thousands of -labels. If you use label prefixes consistently, you may speed up -document parsing by setting this variable to a non-nil value. RefTeX -will then compare the label prefix with the prefixes found in -`reftex-label-alist' and derive the correct label type in this way. -Possible values for this option are: - -@example -t @r{This means to trust any label prefixes found.} -regexp @r{If a regexp, only prefixes matched by the regexp are trusted.} -list @r{List of accepted prefixes, as strings. The colon is part of} - @r{the prefix, e.g. ("fn:" "eqn:" "item:").} -nil @r{Never trust a label prefix.} -@end example -The only disadvantage of using this feature is that the label context -displayed in the label selection buffer along with each label is -simply some text after the label definition. This is no problem if you -place labels keeping this in mind (e.g. @i{before} the equation, @i{at -the beginning} of a fig/tab caption ...). Anyway, it is probably best -to use the regexp or the list value types to fine-tune this feature. -For example, if your document contains thousands of footnotes with -labels fn:xxx, you may want to set this variable to the value "^fn:$" or -("fn:").
