Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Hyperref shows section number instead of table number.

[pgeezer]

This is strange.

I've set up references to show \section.\table for all figures and tables with:

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{table}{section}%for tables

I've got Table 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ... 17.1, 17.2 etc. All tables are numbered correctly and all \ref{t-name} in the body text work (shows 2.1, 3.1, 16.4, etc).

Then out of the blue one text reference returns the section number (17.4.1) instead of the table number (17.2). The misnumbered hyperlink (17.4.1) goes to the correctly numbered (17.2) table. Why is it returning the section number? \label is correct and matching, hence the working link.

I have no idea how to make this show in a MWE as it is working except for the one table. Bug in Hyperref?

Make sure that you inserted the \label command right behind the \caption command. If not, swap them.

Bingo and thanks! My centering command had displaced the label from the caption.

Before (wrong):

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=5in]{t-name.pdf}
\linespread{1}
\caption{This is the caption}
\end{center}
\label{t-name}
\end{table}

After (fixed!):

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=5in]{t-name.pdf}
\linespread{1}
\caption{This is the caption}
\label{t-name}
\end{center}
\end{table}

I'll mark the thread as solved. Thanks again!

It's preferable to use the \centering command instead of the center environment in order to avoid additional vertical space (which is mostly unwanted in cases like this). This would also evade the problem you described here.

Thanks for advice. I'll give it a try and compare.
