General ⇒ Cross-referencing equations from another document

[curiouslearn]

Is it possible to reference equations from another document? For example, if I am responding to referees in one document, can I refer to equations from my manuscript, which is a different document?

Thanks very much.

Try the xr package.

That package looks great. Will try it out. Thanks very much.

I tried that. The problem is that the package also adds the section name of the other document. For example, if section name is "Abc def" and I say

Code: Select all

Proposition \ref{Name}

(where Name refers to say, 3, then that is replaced by
Proposition 3Abc defproposition.3.

Can someone please suggest a way out?
Thanks.

The hyperref package has been loaded In the document which is cited, but not in that where citation happens. Hence the \newlabel macro has a different definition in each document. Load hyperref in both documents or unload it in both.

Juanjo, you are simply unbelievable. Thanks a ton. How did you figure that out??

I've been playing with \newlabel and hyperref in a recent thread.
