yea, it will, but here's the rub - for lack of a better term, I have had a
"wonky" experience with this. The report will show "n" number of x-refs, I
will go find those and conditionalize those, and regenerate the book, and
either new x-refs that weren't flagged before appear, or ones that I have
conditionalized sometimes still show in the report even though they are
properly conditionalized, including the pilcrow where appropriate. It
becomes an iterative process and I was just hoping for a fast, one shot deal
that got all the x-refs right the first time.

But, if not possible, then yep, you're right Robert - that would be the way
that I would have to go.

Do I remember correctly that when a cross-reference's target is in hidden
conditional text it will show up in the Unresolved Cross-References report?
