3.4 Defining Label Environments

RefTeX can be configured to recognize additional labeled environments and macros. This is done with the variable reftex-label-alist (see Options (Defining Label Environments)). If you are not familiar with Lisp, you can use the custom library to configure this rather complex variable. To do this, use

     M-x customize-variable <RET> reftex-label-alist <RET>

Here we will discuss a few examples, in order to make things clearer. It can also be instructive to look at the constant reftex-label-alist-builtin which contains the entries for all the builtin environments and macros (see Builtin Label Environments).

• Theorem and Axiom: Defined with \newenvironment.
• Quick Equation: When a macro sets the label type.
• Figure Wrapper: When a macro argument is a label.
• Adding Magic Words: Other words for other languages.
• Using \eqref: How to switch to this AMS-LaTeX macro.
• Non-Standard Environments: Environments without \begin and \end
• Putting it Together: How to combine many entries.
