Hi Caroline Thanks for that, but unfortunately - as Niels thought - it doesn't work in this situation. We have text like this:
parameter1 option1 parameter2 parameter3 option3 where option1 and option3 need to be in italics. And the number of parameters and options varies. I have a nasty feeling I've seen other people post similar requests in the dim dark past and get no solutions, but thought I'd see if anyone's invented something clever. Cheers, Rebecca >>> "Caroline Tabach" <Caroline at radcom.com> 31/01/07 22:27 >>> I think you would need to make a special cross reference style that you use just to create the cross references to the commands. Then define for that cross reference style that the characters should appear in italics (i.e. use for the cross reference the character tag that is used for the commands) Caroline Tabach Technical/Marcom Writer Fax: +972 3 6474681 Email: caroline at radcom.com www.radcom.com www.protocols.com -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+caroline=radcom....@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+caroline=radcom.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of rebecca officer Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 6:56 AM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: character tags in cross reference text Hi everyone I just wondered if anyone has a trick that lets you make a cross-reference to something that includes character-tagged text, and preserve the character tag in the cross-reference? We document commands, and some of them have italics in part of the command syntax. In the associated step-by-step instructions, the most reliable way to include the command syntax is to use cross-references. But the italics get lost. :-( Thanks!
