Hi,

It seems a bit strange to me that the "§" is added in addition to
"section". Isn't the "§" an abbreviation for "section"? Also it makes
referencing to more than one section tricky because by in the plain
format there is no "§" added, like
"In section §3 and 4, ..."
Wouldn't it be better to have
"In section §3 and §4."?
Anyway, I want to get rid of the added "§" in the formatted reference
altogether. I have seen that LyX uses the command "\secref" but did
not
find documentation.
Maybe someone can help me out. Thanks.
Okay, I think I got it:
\renewcommand\secref[1]{section \ref{sec:#1}}
I hope I did not miss any subtleties.
Lyx uses, by default, refstyle.sty for formatted references, but can
also use prettyref.sty. This is controlled by a checkbox at Document>
Settings> Document Class.
Thanks Richard. Using prettyref instead gets rid of the § but
capitalizes section. So that seems not to work well either. So I still
have to use the redefinition of the command I suggested.
Yes, I agree this is kind of odd, but it's how it's configured in the
default refstyle.cfg file.
If you want to change this globally, so to speak, you can define your
own refstyle.def file. See http://preview.tinyurl.com/hk2kerv.
Thanks. I redefined the command in a local copy of the refstyle.cfg
file (I guess you did not mean refstyle.def in your second paragraph).
So the passage for sections now reads:
%%-- TEMPLATE FOR SECTIONS --
\newref{sec}{%
name = \RSsectxt,
names = \RSsecstxt,
Name = \RSSectxt,
Names = \RSSecstxt,
refcmd= {\ref{#1}},%{\S\ref{#1}},
rngtxt= \RSrngtxt,
lsttwotxt = \RSlsttwotxt,
lsttxt= \RSlsttxt}
Ah, I guess I understand refstyle a bit better now:
