The question is fairly simple to state
How do I cross reference from a child document to a label in the parent document.
LyX seems to supported as it offers you the available labels from other documents in the cross reference dialog.
But when I do that and I want to view the PDF, pdftex
will hang and LyX refuses to shutdown as it claims there are still processes running.
Do I something wrong, if so, what do I have to do to get a cross reference referring to a label in a parent document If not, is it a bug in LyX?
Okay, forget it.
Something completely unrelated to labeling and referecing by me as the user caused the problem.
So, what was the problem?
The whole document uses the mhchem
package to support neatly typeset chemical formulas and reactions. In the offending child document I added a $\\ce{H2O}$
in \\subsubsection
header. Somehow the mhchem
package doesn't count on \\ce
commands used in a \\subsubsection
.
When I used TeXShop to compile the LyX documents, the log clearly pointed out what the offending command caused trouble and where to find its location.
A nice lesson is to be learned from this: If LyX behaves in strange ways, use either the command line tools, like pdflatex
or pdftex
, or a tool like TeXShop to diagnose the problem. Don't rely too easily on LyX to help you.
The concrete solution is:
.tex
files \\ce
command from the \\subsubsection
header.
