General ⇒ Cross-referencing among documents

[ks-zadeh]

How is reference made in a document A to items in another document B, e.g., to chapters, sections, definitions, etc., in document B? Of the famous xr package, I found only a pdf-file describing what the package does, but not the package itself. Can anybody help?

Thank you, Thorsten, for resolving my problem. The package xr.sty is indeed included in LaTeX tools and can directly be used.

The package manager of your LaTeX distribution should list the package and also manage to install it. But you can check on the command line whether the package is already installed.

Code: Select all

kpsewhich xr.sty

If you don't obtain the full path, the package is not installed and you have to install it subsequently. But since the xr package is part of the tools bundle, it should be already installed. Otherwise look after the bundle in the package list. After that the manual should also be accessible via command line.

Code: Select all

texdoc xr

Many thanks. I'll give a try.

Thank you, Thorsten. It works. (Indeed, xr.sty was included in my tools.)

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and act as you have already been directed in my last reply.
