Hi, Here are two modules I created as a result of the previous discussion about formatted references, especially to footnotes.
== 1. Hyperref full-width links ==
Makes hyperref links span the whole width of formatted references and equation
references. For instance, it makes the whole of "Theorem 3.1" and "(3.1)" a
link, instead of just "3.1".
(Note: this is _not_ just a hard-coded list of my favourite formats; it works
on
all formats, including user-defined ones.)
== 2. Footnote multiple references ==
Allows multiple references to footnotes. To use, create the footnote in the
normal way at the first location, and put a label inside. At the later
location(s), use formatted references to the label. (Without this module, this
will still work, but the references won't look like footnote numbers.)
The above two modules currently only work with prettyref. For the first, I
looked into doing something similar for refstyle, but it seems to be impossible
because of how refstyle is structured internally. On the other hand, perhaps
refstyle support is possible for the second, but I haven't really looked at it
yet.
My question to devs here is: would there be interest in including these modules
with LyX (either 2.0 or 2.1)? If so I will do some more testing and try to make
the second one work with refstyle. Otherwise I'll just post them on the wiki
as-is.
This is bring things closer to Tommaso's desire for all references to be
automatically formatted properly. A "Copy as formatted reference" menu item
would help. I can create a module to "fix" refstyle's equation references to
not
include the "equation" prefix. This leaves making sure all LyX-supported
theorem-like refs are formatted correctly; this is obviously more complex, and
I
notice that LyX 2.0 already partially does this (in a way I don't really
understand).
Thanks,
Jim
