org-ref in source blocks

[drghirlanda]

Would it be possible to have org-ref and org-ref-refproc resolve references in source blocks? Right now, I can use something like \cref{eq:alice} inside a source block and it works nicely when exporting to LaTeX (when using the listings package). It would be great to be able to use cref:eq:alice because then one could also use org-ref-refproc to export to other formats.

Can you provide an example of what you are doing and what you would like?

My guess is probably not. I don't think links are recognized by org-mode when they are in src blocks. you would have to do some preprocessing of your own to handle those I think, probably using regular expressions to find them.

Thanks! I actually found out that this is a feature of the listings LaTeX package: it allows LaTeX code in comments, so that things like \cref, and \ref are resolved. I'll see if I can figure something out to do this in org-ref. If anything comes up, I'll let you know.
