I'm not familiar with referencing in documents, so I'm not sure. The section "11.2 Images and Tables" in the manual says: You can use the following lines somewhere before the table to assign a caption and a label for cross references, and in the text you can refer to the object with `\ref{tab:basic-data}': #+CAPTION: This is the caption for the next table (or link) #+LABEL: tbl:basic-data | ... | ...| \ref says "tab:", while #+LABEL says "tbl:". Is that a typo? I presume, without knowing, that these prefixes are conventional, and they do not have a preset meaning. I could have used "zzz:" if I felt like it? Fran=C3=A7ois
