multiple references to the same footnote?

[Fei Min Lorente]

Hi Leigh:

I have a custom XML tagset and FrameMaker 7.2, too.

You're on the right track by trying to set up a cross-reference format.
Mine is <Superscript><$elemparanumonly[Footnote]> where Superscript is
the character format that makes it so, and Footnote is the paragraph
style for the footnote.

On the EDD side, I'm using a "normal" cross-reference element, just like
I use for xrefs to table captions, sections, etc. When I insert the
cross-reference to the footnote, I select the special cross-ref format
that I created to refer to footnotes, and fill in the ID so that they're
linked. Sorry, I'm a bit fuzzy here because I'm using XRef Wizard, which
is a plug-in, so it lets me set the target and destination ID at the
same time.

So I think the bit you are missing is in the cross-reference format, not
the EDD.

HTH.

Subject: multiple references to the same footnote?


Hello all,

A client is working in a custom XML tagset, Frame 7.2. They have asked
how they can have more than one reference to the same footnote. I have
tried any number of things with no luck. My first thought was they could
set up a cross-ref format pointing to the elemnum or paranum of the
<footnote> element that would give them the number of the footnote, but
that has not worked. The issue is that the method by which Frame assigns
numbering is built into the Footnote-type element of the EDD; it doesn't
use numbering building blocks and so I cannot figure out how to "get at"
that number to pull it into the cross-ref. I also tried assigning a
static number in an "id" attribute (just to see if it would work) and
pulling that into the cross-ref but that has not worked either. Does
anyone have any suggestions for how to accomplish this? The solution
obviously needs to ensure that the cross-ref number is dynamic, changing
according to the number of the corresponding footnote.

Thanks,
Leigh
