Builtin Label Environments ​

RefTeX needs to be aware of the environments which can be referenced with a label (i.e., which carry their own counters). By default, RefTeX recognizes all labeled environments and macros discussed in The LaTeX Companion by Goossens, Mittelbach & Samarin, Addison-Wesley 1994.. These are:

  • figure, figure*, table, table*, equation, eqnarray, enumerate, the \footnote macro (this is the LaTeX core stuff)
  • align, gather, multline, flalign, alignat, xalignat, xxalignat, subequations (from AMS-LaTeX’s amsmath.sty package)
  • the \endnote macro (from endnotes.sty)
  • Beqnarray (fancybox.sty)
  • floatingfig (floatfig.sty)
  • longtable (longtable.sty)
  • figwindow, tabwindow (picinpar.sty)
  • SCfigure, SCtable (sidecap.sty)
  • sidewaysfigure, sidewaystable (rotating.sty)
  • subfigure, subfigure*, the \subfigure macro (subfigure.sty)
  • supertabular (supertab.sty)
  • wrapfigure (wrapfig.sty)

If you want to use other labeled environments, defined with \newtheorem, RefTeX needs to be configured to recognize them (see Defining Label Environments).
