General ⇒ cross-reference to the title of section*

[carol]

Hi,
How to cross-refer to a the title of section*? I used \refname but doesn't display only the title of section* as I want. In the example below, \refname{sec:my_section} displays Referencessec:my_section: instead of my_section.

Code: Select all

\section*{my_section}           \label{sec:my_section}
\refname{sec:my_section}

cheers,

Hi,

perhaps you need something like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\phantomsection
\section*{mysection}\label{sec:mysection}

\nameref{sec:mysection}

\end{document}

Remarks: 1) Do not use the underscore character "_" outside math mode; this will produce errors. 2) The command \refname stores the predefined name for the bibliographycal section ("References" in the case of the article class).
