Cross-reference to another LyX Document

Post by Itai »

How to cross-reference definitions and theorems defined in another, independent LyX document, so that any change in the item numbering in the referenced document is automatically reflected in the referencing one?

Thanks.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I stumbled across this post while searching for a solution similar to the OPs problem.

As far as I can see, the post of ALIX is not related to the question. It is a link to the BibTeX tips page whereas the OP mentioned cross references to (ams) definitions and theorems (or in general \labels). Most probably this is to reference lecture notes from a beamer presentation - which is also my use case.

Is there anyone who solved this problem? Any hints/ideas?

Hi Michael,

welcome to the board!

The common LaTeX way for this is using the xr package, you can load and use it with LyX as well.
