Where to put the \label on a figure environment?

I've got the table numberin with sections:

\numberwithin{table}{section}

The following table is 2.1. for example:

\begin{table}
...
\label{thelabel}
\end{table}

But when I reference this table using \ref{thelabel} I only get the 2, not the whole table number.

How to get the label and the table number right?

  • Is the \label after \caption? Yes, you need \caption in order to be able to reference it properly.

The \label should go after the \caption in the float (table or figure) in order for the referencing to work properly.
