## 1 Introduction

RefTeX is a specialized package for support of labels, references, citations, and the index in LaTeX. RefTeX wraps itself round 4 LaTeX macros: `\label`, `\ref`, `\cite`, and `\index`. Using these macros usually requires looking up different parts of the document and searching through BibTeX database files. RefTeX automates these time–consuming tasks almost entirely. It also provides functions to display the structure of a document and to move around in this structure quickly.
