Thanks for correcting me.

One problem I am having is that the exported LaTeX replaces the ":" with
a "-" to become \ref{tab-niceone} which precludes the use of (e.g.)
\autoref which would need to know that the thing being referenced was a
table by recognising the "tab:", no?  I am sure there is a good reason
for this, can you say why?  In the meantime I will investigate filters.
I only really use \autoref out of laziness anyway so I could just
replace the ":" in all my currently defined labels.

That will definately be useful.

Thanks,
