Re: [Framers] OT: Grammar/Cross References
Craig, have the cross-references where this abbreviation occurs been mentioned earlier in the text? I'm just wondering if ff might mean something like the Latin terms "ibid" or "op. cit." that are used in bibliographies. Just a thought.

[Framers] OT: Grammar/Cross References
I know this is off topic, but my internet searches have proven fruitless. I am in the middle of (legally) re-branding an English, white label manual (originally written in German) to ship with a product manufactured by another company. My problem is with some of the cross references as many of them are followed by the abbreviation "ff". (eg, " See Section 11.3 ff. ") According to a German engineer currently in training here, "f" means "folgende" (following) and "ff" is "fort folgende" (continue following). Is anyone familiar with this format? And is there an equivalent in English? My first guess is that any equivalent would actually be a Latin abbreviation rather than English—but I've come up blank on both. All suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
