I have a large document (in the report class) with a bunch of subfigures, and I'm currently in the middle of a migration from the (apparently deprecated) subfigure package to subfig, but I'm having trouble getting the finer details to work well. Specifically:
- I want normal references of the form
\ref{fig}to print out in the format 1.1(a) (i.e. chapter, figure, subfigure, with parenthesis around the latter). - I want a
\subref-type command that allows me to access the (a) part of that identifier. - I also want a
\subref*-style caller that allows me to just get the a on its own, without the brackets (or, alternatively, allow me to reference multiple parts in one go, i.e. Figure 1.1(b-d) or (e,f), directly).
I am aware of this previous question, but the methods there only allow for two of the three goals, as they either take over \subref* for what \subref does above, or they pollute the \thesubfigure counter.
I'm OK with a migration that can be done with a search-and-replace (like e.g. changing \subfigure[...]{...} to \subfloat[...]{...}, but I'm a bit more wary of changes that require changing that to a full environment-based solution. Also, any solutions need to play well with hyperref.
I should also say that I find it frustrating that 'deprecated' packages are superseded by others that are nowhere near flexible enough and that break backwards compatibility in severe ways.
