[Framers] Fixing table number in a cross-reference

[Lynne A. Price]

Rick, of course, is correct. The difference between <$paranum> and 
<$paranumonly> is that <$paranum> returns the entire autonumber while 
<$paranumonly> returns only the counters (such as <n> or <n+>) within 
the autonumbers and any separating text such as a period or hyphen (or 
dash) between the counters. For example, <$paranum> might display as 
"Table 3.3" while <$paranumonly> displays as "3.3". I've used a period 
separator here because if <$paranumonly> incorrectly returns "3.3", I 
would expect <$paranum> to also display a period.
