Hi,

I should have been more explicit.

In the pdf, the cross references to the enumerated items do not correlate with their label numbers. Specifically, the 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th.

OK. I see it now.

Here’s the issue:

I inserted these lines before the 1st wrong item:

\show\theenumrqi
\show\theenumrqii
\show\theenumrqiii
\item reference is rq:4 \label{rq:4}
\end{enumrq}

Here’s what you get:

> \theenumrqi=macro:
->{RQ\arabic {enumrqi}}.
l.20 \show\theenumrqi

?
> \theenumrqii=macro:
->{RQ\arabic {enumrqii}(\alph {enumrqii})}.
l.21 \show\theenumrqii

?
> \theenumrqiii=macro:
->{RQ\arabic {enumrqiii}(\alph {enumrqiii})\roman {enumrqiii}.}.
l.22 \show\theenumrqiii

?

See how the expansions for the 2nd- and 3rd-level counters are wrong.
It should be:

> \theenumrqiii=macro:
->{RQ\arabic {enumrqi}(\alph {enumrqii})\roman {enumrqiii}.}.


Here’s one way to get it correct:

%\setlist[enumrq,1]{align=left,labelsep=.5em,label=RQ\arabic*
%, ref=RQ\arabic*}
%\setlist[enumrq,2]{align=left,leftmargin=*,labelsep=.25em,label=~(\alph*), ref=RQ\arabic*(\alph*)}
%\setlist[enumrq,3]{align=left,leftmargin=*,labelsep=.25em,label=~\roman*., ref=RQ\arabic*(\alph*)\roman*.}

\setlist[enumrq,1]{align=left,labelsep=.5em,label=RQ\arabic*, ref=RQ\arabic*}
\setlist[enumrq,2]{align=left,leftmargin=*,labelsep=.25em,label=~(\alph*), ref=RQ\arabic{enumrqi}(\alph*)}
\setlist[enumrq,3]{align=left,leftmargin=*,labelsep=.25em,label=~\roman*., ref=RQ\arabic{enumrqi}(\alph{enumrqii})\roman*.}


It seems that you cannot use multiple *s in the  ref=  field.

That kind of makes sense, if * is meant to refer to a default counter.
How will it know internally that you actually meant 3 different counters?



Thanks

Alan


Hope this helps.
