\title{An example demonstrating the use of references and bibliography in
\LaTeX}
\author{Maciej Borkowski}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Now we can see one of the most powerful \LaTeX advantages in action. References
and cross references. Basically all elements of the document that you would
like to refer to are given logical names, so called labels. When you refer to a
subsection of your document, figure, table or a bibliography you simply use the
label. \LaTeX{} will do numbering automatically and (at least in my case as so
far) always correctly. To make this template document easy to modify I will
place a few example references in the introduction section. The rest of the
document contains only the famous placeholder text known as "lorem ipsum".
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}\label{sec:Introduction}
As you can see referring to a Fig. \ref{fig:my_figure} is rather easy. You
don't have to think of any numbers, just use the label you gave yourself to the
figure, \LaTeX{} will take care of numbering by itself. The same logic apply to
refereing to section \ref{sec:My_second_section} or equation
(\ref{eq:simple_equation}).
Perhaps even more powerful is the way how \LaTeX{} handles bibliography. Not
only it is very easy to include references into documents, but even more,
\LaTeX{} forces you to become better organized. Simply, when you find an
important reference add it to your personal database. Your database will be a
text file called \verb|my_references.bib|, for example. You can keep this file
with your \LaTeX{} document, or preferably in a common place for all your
publications. More help on how to use this way of creating reference can be
found in \cite{Bibliography_howto}, chapter 15 ``Bibliographic Databases''.
And finally take a look a more ordinary looking scientific reference
\cite{Homer_2007}, or perhaps at the origin of the famous "lorem ipsum"
\cite{LoremIpsum_wiki}.
