pdflatex with figure labels

Post by tomreynolds93 »

Is there a way to generate the pdf but including the "names" I have used as labels for figures and tables.
My hope was to print a copy and work out what figures I need to refer back to.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

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

Hi and welcome,

i am not sure what you are trying to achieve. The draft option will print the file names, instead of putting the actual figures.

Or are you looking for package showframe?

Thanks, I am looking for a way for it to print, say figure{fig:foo} instead of say figure 1 in the caption to make it easier for me to know what i've labelled a figure when referencing to it later, I do imagine that this is not possible however.

Thanks

I guess you could get just that, but package showkeys should be enough.

EDIT: Just noticed, that i used the wrong package above, sorry.
