Hello all,
it's that time of year where I have to think about revamping my lecture
slides (having just finished one year, the next one starts...). I write
these in org and export to beamer obviously!
I teach a technical subject. I therefore have quite a few equations in
my slides and I use LaTeX for these. I would like to be able to use org
fully with respect to links and targets. If I define a label in LaTeX
directly, \label{an-equation} for instance, I get no benefit from using
an org link to it, e.g. [[an-equation]] (by default, this leads to the
org exporter complaining about a missing target and if I tell org not to
complain I subsequently miss real errors). So I use inline LaTeX to
provide the link, as in \ref{an-equation}. But then I lose the ability
to jump to the target within org, something which is quite useful given
that I have many slides for the full module I teach.
The only satisfactory solution I have found is to do something along
these lines:
#+begin_src org
The equation is:
,#+begin_equation
<<an-equation>>
y = x + 3
,#+end_equation
(later) In equation [[an-equation]], we see nothing much.
#+end_src
This works in that I can jump to the label by clicking on the link but I
lose the ability to edit the equation in LaTeX mode.
Any pointers would be welcome.
Thanks,
eric

Why don't you define the link in Org?
#+NAME: eq:foo
\begin{equation}
foo
\end{equation}
-k.

And why are the obvious solutions not those that come to mind (for
me)????
Many thanks. Nothing in the documentation to even suggest this
possibility. That's my excuse. :)

It kind-of is documented, in section 4.2. Is that unclear?

Org-ref provides a ref link for exactly this purpose. It looks like
ref:an-equation and if you click on it it jumps to the label. The link is
red if the label doesn't exist and maroonish if it does. It exports in
latex as \ref{an-equation}. It sounds like just what you need.
You can get org-ref on melpa.

Thanks John. I've looked at org-ref before and it looks nice. However,
due to my organically grown org (and Emacs) customizations (over 35
years...), I couldn't get it to work well for me. Yes, I must clean up
my .emacs some day!
Using #+name: does the job for the moment.
Thanks again,
eric
