Cross Reference Issue

[David Spreadbury]

Allison,
You don't mention whether you are using Structured or Unstructured. In a
Structured world your cross-reference format could look something like:

Step\ <$elemparanumonly>

So, using the same rational, in an Unstructured environment:

Step\ <$paranumonly>

Should work.

This will either be simple or impossible to fix, but either way, I'm
stumped.

I've created a cross reference that allows me to refer to a specific step
within a list of instructions, but I have a small problem. The period that
follows my step number is being included in the X-Ref - and I don't want it
to be.

My instructions are defined as follows:

Instruction1 "<n=1>.\t"
Instruction+ "<n+>.\t"

My X=Ref (Instruction Step #) is defined as "step <$paranum>"

Using Special > Marker to insert the cross reference results in, for
example, "step 13." And I don't want the period as part of the X-Ref.

Any suggestions?

Alison
