How to reference label LaTeX?

The argument to the \label command is just a text string that you’ll use to reference that part.

How do you write a section without the number in LaTeX?

How do I use Autoref?

\autoref is a command from the hyperref package which is used to have some automatic prefix added to the reference. For instance if you used \label{sec:intro} just after your command for the introduction section the \autoref{sec:intro} command will output “section X” with X being the good number.

How do you cite multiple sources in LaTex?

If you want to cite multiple references within the same brackets, you just need to separate the labels with a comma.
