§4.1 Help the reader find the exact statement
A label gives a section, equation, theorem, figure, or table a name that the source can refer to. Choose a short descriptive label and use it only once in the whole paper.
Here is a sentence linking to objects in earlier chapters.
The proof in @thm:sum gives @eq:sum. Compare @tab:sums with @fig:triangle.The proof in Theorem 2.1 gives (2.1). Compare Table 2.2 with Figure 3.1.
For a section heading, write ## Your heading {@sec:your-heading}. You can then refer to it with @sec:your-heading. The link Section 2.1 is a working example.
§Link to another paper
Use the link icon beside a passage to open its reference window. The two overlapping squares copy the selected reference. A link to a frozen submission points to that saved version even after the author publishes a revision.
Ordinary Markdown links work too.
