Dear All,
I am facing a problem with the use of list command.
I need to generate lists with specific numbering systems and then
cross-reference them in different parts.
By using the list command I am able to create lists with the correct system
of numbering.
However, when I use the \ref command to refer back to them it only prints
the Arabic numeral equivalent of the entry instead of the numbering system
I have used.
Is there any way I could resolve this so that I could get the correct
cross-reference inserted.
To illustrate my problem I have written a short code for this which states
my problem too.
---------------------------------------------
\documentclass[12pts,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{color}
\newcounter{sections}
\newcounter{sub-section}
\newcounter{clause}
\newcounter{sub-clause}
%this is the counter command
\title{Problem with cross-referencing using list command}
\author{Shubho Roy}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{list}{(\arabic{sub-section})}{\usecounter{sub-section}}
\item This is some text in sub-section which is using Arabic
numerals. \label{sub-sec:arabic_numerals}
\begin{list}{(\alph{clause})}{\usecounter{clause}}
\item This is a clause which is using alphabetical numbering
\label{clause:alphabetical}
\begin{list}{(\roman{sub-clause})}{\usecounter{sub-clause}}
\item This is a sub-clause using roman numbering.
\label{sub-clause:roman_numerals}
\end{list}
\end{list}
\end{list}
The problem arising when I use label to reference to different parts
of the document.
\begin{itemize}
\item If I refer to the sub-section using the ref command I get a correct
reference like this: \ref{sub-sec:arabic_numerals}
\item However when I refer to the clause list which is a nested list and
uses alphabetical numbering I still get Arabic numbering as reference:
\ref{clause:alphabetical}. I would like this to be (a)
\item The same problem is available in the case of sub-clause list where I
should get roman numerals but I still get the Arabic numeral:
\ref{sub-clause:roman_numerals}. I would like this to be (i)
\end{itemize}
The hyperref command sends it to the correct link but the numbering
printed is always in Arabic while I have used other numbering systems
for this.
Any help!!
