LyX ⇒ Floating paragraph number

[auvajs]

Let's say the paragraphs are numbered in my document

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\theparagraph{§\arabic{paragraph}}

I need to write something like: "regulations of §34 apply in this case" many times in the document. However if I change that (34) paragraph number, I had to change all those references as well which would be very demanding.

Is there some way how to do it automatically?

You could use \label and \ref for cross-referencing. You don't need numbers, they are automatically determined by LaTeX. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}
\renewcommand\theparagraph{§\arabic{paragraph}}
\begin{document}
\paragraph{Introduction}\label{p:intro}
This is a paragraph. Paragraph \ref{p:main} follows.
\paragraph{Main}\label{p:main}
This is a paragraph. See also paragraph \ref{p:intro}.
\end{document}

Thank you, Stefan, it works. However, the reference is closed in a little red rectangle. How to remove the rectangle? I don't want it in my PDF document.

That's caused by hyperref. You could switch it off after you loaded that package:

Code: Select all

\hypersetup{colorlinks=false, pdfborder={0 0 0}}
