How do I reference my LaTeX tables or equations?
To reference a LaTeX table or equation in LaTeX you need to make sure that you insert a label in your table or equation and that such label has a tab: prefix for tables and a eqn: prefix for equations.
For example, a simple LaTeX table may look like this:
Notice the \label{tab:somelabel} inside the \caption .
Similarly, a simple LaTeX equation may look like this:
Notice the \label{eqn:somelabel}.
You can reference the tables and equations above from inside a LaTeX block using \ref{tab:somelabel} and \ref{eqn:somelabel}, respectively. Or, you can reference them from inside any other block by clicking on the reference button in the toolbar, ❡:

\end{tabular}
\caption{\label{tab:somelabel} Caption}
\end{table}Notice the \label{tab:somelabel} inside the \caption .
Similarly, a simple LaTeX equation may look like this:
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:somelabel}
e=mc^2
\end{equation}Notice the \label{eqn:somelabel}.
