Cross-reference formatting, Part 2

[Matt Sullivan]

If I understand Jenny's question, the Xref is losing the formatting provided
in the variable. 

If that's the case, I doubt you'll be able to get the xref formatting you're
looking for. The xref only has the option of formatting the <$paratext>, not
specific parts of the paratext. 

If you remove character formatting (like <Emphasis>) from the xref format,
does it hold the formatting from the variable?

As Alan state:

The application of styles used is sequential, so one style is used until it
is replaced by another, until the end of the cross reference when it returns
the paragraph default. That should mean that you should be able to use the
Default setting building block, then the small caps style building block,
then default again.

for example, for some of x-refs that I only want part to appear in Blue:

See <Link>Figure <$paranumonly> <Default ¶ Font> below.<Default ¶ Font>

So only the word Figure and its number appear in blue. The word "below" does
not.

OK, maybe I'm not crazy.  I'm completely missing something, or maybe this is
a Frame 9 bug.

I have several cross-references in my document that reference paragraphs
(e.g., chapter titles, headings). These paragraphs contain variables that
are set in small caps.

When I apply the cross-reference, it's fine. Everything is formatted
correctly.

When I generate/update the book, the words that are supposed to be in small
caps are no longer in small caps. 

I find the references that are supposed to have small caps and re-apply the
cross-reference. All is fine....until I generate the book again. I can watch
the font change as soon as I click the generate icon. Right in front of my
eyes. 

Ideas? Any way to make this stop? It's terribly annoying, especially during
the endgame. My deadline is tomorrow.

Jenny
