[texhax] Labels and References with "varioref"

[Lars Madsen]

I'm not sure it is a good idea to store the term 'item' inside the stored label.

That means you cannot write

>From items (2) and (4) we get...

using references.

If you remove the \formatlabel stuff, then

 \vref{itm:4A}

comes out as

4a

as expected.

I tend to use the quite old fancyref package to solve this, it will react to prefixed labels and you could get

\fref{itm:4A} to return the equivalent to

item~\vref{itm:4A}

fancyref is old school, crude, but it works.

No, you do not understand. It prints out "item", but it does not print
out the correct item umber. Instead of, in this case, printing out
"item 4A", it prints out "item A" which can be ambiguous.
