Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-5
Severity: normal
I have a table environment which I want to give a caption as well as a
label so I can refer to it. When I made a reference, I noticed that
it was wrong -- instead of giving the number of the table the number
of the section was given. I tracked this down now and found out that
you have to put the \caption _before_ the \label, otherwise the \label
isn't effective. I think this behaviour is wrong considering that my
\label is clearly within \begin{table} and \end{table} and so it's
obvious what the \label refers to.
To show this problem I have attached files test1.tex and test2.tex.
test1.tex refers to 2.1, which is wrong (it's the section), while
test2.tex refers to 1, which is correct.
This behaviour is very unintuitive and I hope this can be fixed
upstream.

Hmm, okay, your explanation makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to
answer.
