LaTeX HTML output: \ref in math mode doesn't pick up references to labels defined in text mode #219

Closed christianp closed 5 months ago

christianp commented 5 months ago

In the HTML output of a LaTeX document, a \ref command in math mode will not recognise labels defined in text mode elsewhere in the document. I think that MathJax makes its own list of references, and plasTeX doesn't fill it with the text mode references. I need to find out if that's possible.

The "usual" author hack is to do $\ref{mathmodelabel}$ when an HTML convertor leaves math mode untouched for MathJax. (I only know one convertor that does it "properly", i.e., resolve label/IDs but still leave good math mode TeX in the output for MathJax.)

I think the only way to unit test this is to check the dictionary of labels that MathJax should load.
