I am still fighting with LyX/LaTeX cross-referencing facilities.
While it's rather clear how to use it to refer to page numbers and
equation numbers within a single file, I am in the dark on how:
1. cross-referencing to a separate file
2. having the section title appear in the cross-referencing document.
In fact, I am not even sure whether (1) or (2) are possible at all.
(1) is easy, but not terribly intuitive. You need to have both files
open in LyX: The one you want to reference and the one you're
editing. Now Insert>Cross-reference, and at the top of the dialog box
is a drop-down box marked "Labels in". Choose the target file, and
the labels in that file will appear in the dialog box.
I had gotten this far, but I cannot get it to work. I do see the label
I defined in the other document and I can insert it into the
cross-referencing doc, but the pdf file produced has question marks in
it where the reference should appear. And indeed the LaTeX log
complains of an undefined reference.
Sorry, I forgot to say something before. I was assuming that Chapters 1
and 2 (from your example) would be included in a single file on which
you then ran LaTeX. If you're doing that, then it should be working. If
not, send me that LyX files and I'll see what I can do.
If, on the other hand, you are trying to compile JUST Chapter 2, with
references also being made to Chapter 1, then you will see "?" unless
you use the xr package. This isn't a huge issue, as it will be correct
when the whole thing is compiled. But, as I said, you can use xr if you
need to do so.
