Dear list members, I can't figure out how to refer to figures. In the setuparea I have e.g.: \useexternalfigure[anapler][anaplerosis][width=\textwidth] In the body I had: \placefigure{Acetyl-CoA stimuliert die anaplerotische Reaktion etc...}{\externalfigure[anapler]} In the text: (\in{Abb.}[anapler] pdf output gave Abb. ?? I then added a reference to \placefigure: \placefigure[anapler1]{text ...}[anapler] and (\in{Abb.}[anapler1] Same result, i.e. ?? I then thought that maybe, although this seems unlikely, "[fig:..] is needed, as in the examples in the manuals. I replaced the reference with [fig:anapler], same result. As so far practically nothing worked the first time, but I always managed to find the error after some time, I kept staring at the manuals and my tex file. It didn't help. I hope somebody has the answer. Thank you very much, Jörg. PD Dr.med.
