Cross-Reference Linking

KERNIT finds cross-reference mentions in manuscript text and links them to matching captions, numbered equations, section headings, appendices, algorithms, and listings when targets are detectable.

Target Discovery#

The scanner builds a map of captions, headings, numbered equations, and labeled targets. Mentions such as Figure 2, Table 1, Eq. (4), and Section 3.2 become review rows with candidate targets.

Common Review Cases#

• Caption numbering was manually edited after writing.
• Multiple figures share sublabels like 2a and 2b.
• Sections are referenced by title instead of number.
• Equation numbers appear in text that is not a real equation reference.
