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.

Try for instance
\placefigure [] % 1st [] argument is for placing options like: here, force [anapler] % 2nd [] argument is the label {caption} %1st {} argument is caption {\externalfigure[path-tofigurefile][width=3in]}
Then
\in{Abb.}[anapler]
will (hopefully) work.

Thank you for the answers to my problem. When under "\placefigure" I added [ ] in front of the brackets containing the reference name, it worked. I thought that if you didn't want to specify anything (such as "here"), one could leave it out entirely. That shows you the kind of problems beginners are facing.
I have now finished the first chapter of the textbook, and it Iooks impressive (to me, that is: Figures, figures and formulas in the margin, tables etc.). I would like to thank all those who are providing help in this user group and also those of course who wrote this wonderful programme in the first place!

afaik \placefigure is the only command with this problem: two optional args, one eing the reference; since there is no way to find out that 'here' or 'left' is a reference or a placement directive, in the case of a reference, one needs to provide a location as well
sorry for the confusion

Hi Jörg,
The \placefigure command knows more optional things:
\placefigure [left, right, here, top, bottom, inleft, inright, inmargin, margin, leftmargin, rightmargin, leftedge, rightedge, innermargin, outermargin, inneredge, outeredge, inner, outer, line, high, low, fit, page, opposite, always, force, tall, reset, line, height, depth] [ref,..] {caption} {\externalfigure[name][options]}
So you need to add [anapler] as the reference before the caption.
A good startingpoint for such problems is the texshow utility. To start it type at the command line texmfstrat texshow. Otherwise if you use the SciTe editor it is incorporated under the Help-button or just hit F1.
Kind regards
Willi
