[AUCTeX] RefTeX: how to list references in *toc* ?

[zimoun]

Dear community,

When I am writing LaTeX documents, I regularly switch to the *toc*
buffer by `C-c =', as everyone should do. :-)
From *toc* buffer, it is really nice to list all the labels by simply `l`.


However, I am not able to find a way to list all the references,
especially where they appear in the TOC.


Do I miss something ?
or any idea ?


--

Moreover, it should be nice to create a summary buffer to provide, e.g.,

label-nameA line-definition line-use1, line-use2, ...
label-nameB line-definition line-use1, line-use2, ...
...

then it will be really easier to jump to non-used labels or see
non-defined references, etc.
I have quickly&dirty done something in this flavor in Python, but it
is not well-integrated with Emacs. Therefore, before dive in some
RefTeX code and see what I should be able to do, I would like to know
if someone has already experiment something.



Thank you for maintaining and improving these nice tools.

All the best

Hi Simon,

the only thing I know within RefTeX for viewing cross-references is
described here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/reftex.html#SEC42

But this is not what you're looking for?

I think RefTeX does not have such a feature. So if you want to dive
into it, please go ahead. Patches are always welcome :-)

Unfortunately, it is just a part of what I am looking for.

Thank you to pushing forward.
For now, my small python script fills my needs.
I will try to find time and see if I am able to have something in Emacs.
