Time for action – referencing items of a top list


We shall typeset a list of the most used packages for papers on the e-print archive site http://arXiv.org. Through the command \label, we will mark items that we can later refer to with the command \ref.

  1. Create a new document with this code:

    \documentclass{book}
    \begin{document}
    \chapter{Statistics}
    \section{Most used packages on arXiv.org}\label{sec:packages}
    The Top Five packages, used on arXiv.org\footnote{according
    to the arXMLiv project\label{fn:project}}:
    \begin{enumerate}
      \item graphicx
      \item amssymb \label{item:amssymb}
      \item amsmath \label{item:amsmath}
      \item epsfig
      \item amsfonts
    \end{enumerate}
    \chapter{Mathematics}
    \emph{amsmath}, on position \ref{item:amsmath} of the top list
    in section~\ref{sec:packages} on page~\pageref{sec:packages},
    is indispensable to high-quality mathematical typesetting in
    \LaTeX.\emph{amssymb}, on position \ref{item:amssymb},
    provides a huge amount of math symbols.
