[Framers] Going bonkers with an x-ref format

[tammyvb at spectrumwritingllc.com]

OK, scratch what I thought worked. Even w/ the paragraph tags placed BEFORE the ChapterTitle tag, I still get the same problem IF I try to include the Chapter number in the x-ref. If I explicitly omit the chapter number, then all is OK. I give. . . .for now, I am just going w/out the Chapter number in the x-ref. I don't have enough time to figure this one out, but if anyone has any ideas . . .

​Glad you unearthed another solution gem.

Perhaps it's got to do with the accumulated length of the headings that are being concatenated​.
