Thanks, John.
org-ref looks quite handy, although I would like to try and get basic
functionality working without adding another package. Does it implement
cross-references independently of reftex? Perhaps I need to abandon reftex, but
this seems like it should be a trivial problem.
Commenting out the org-ref block, this setup seems to work in that I am able to
insert citations with "M-x reftex-citation" after exporting to LaTeX. This
suggests that (reftex-parse-all) is somewhat to blame. However, attempting to
insert an equation reference with "M-x reftex-reference" still fails after
exporting and works before the first export. I suspect TeX-master is indeed
involved, as the backtrace suggests.
Returning to my original setup and commenting out the (reftex-parse-all) gives
a similar result to your block; working citations, but cross-references that
break after LaTeX export. One of the most baffling aspects is that killing and
re-opening the buffer and re-starting Reftex does not eliminate the problem; I
have to actually quit and re-open emacs.
Regards,
Adam
