LaTeX Package: DocRef v0.1 2026-10-23
Cross-references to labeled sections in external LaTeX package documentation.
Description
docref resolves a label in another package’s documentation source and prints its section number. It requires LuaLaTeX, discovers common source filenames automatically, and can also scan simple \input and \include files. Unresolved references print ?? and produce a warning.
Installation
Keep docref.sty and docref.lua together, either beside your document or in a TeX-searchable directory.
Usage
Use \docref{<package>}{<label>} for a reference. If automatic discovery does not locate a source, register it with the optional \DocRefSource{<package>}{<source-file>} command:
~latex documentclass{article} usepackage{docref}
% Optional: specify the documentation source explicitly DocRefSource{mypackage}{mypackage-manual.tex}
begin{document} See Section~docref{mypackage}{sec:overview}. end{document} ~
Section numbers are read from source text; titles and page numbers are not provided.
Documentation
See the main manual for configuration and examples.
