Defining the Default Processing of Cross References
Cross-references help users navigate through your content. ePublisher automatically transforms cross-references to links in the generated output. However, you often want cross-references in your online content to use a different format than your printed content. For example, you usually include page numbers only in your printed content. ePublisher enables you to add, edit, and delete cross-reference formats for your online output.
Note: This option is available only for specific source document types and each defined cross reference rule applies only to the selected source document type.
To define and manage cross-reference formats
1. On the Project menu, select the Active Target you want to specify settings for.
2. On the Target menu, click Cross Reference Rules.
3. In Document type, select the source document type for which you want to define the cross-references.
4. If you want to add a cross reference format, complete the following steps:
a. Click Add New Cross Reference.
b. In Name, type the format or name of the cross reference format you want to define. For example, to remove the phrase see page followed by a page number from a Word source document, type: see page {PAGEREF \h}. You can find the correct syntax for the search pattern by inspecting your source documents for the values.
c. In Replacement, type the format or text you want to replace the format you specified in Name. To replace the format with nothing, leave the Replacement field blank.
d. Click OK.
5. If you want to modify a defined cross-reference format, complete the following steps:
a. Double-click an existing cross-reference format you want to modify.
b. In Replacement, type the format or text you want to replace the format you specified in Name. To replace the format with nothing, leave the Replacement field blank.
c. Click OK.
6. If you want to change the order in which ePublisher processes the cross-reference formats, select a cross reference rule in the list, and then use the arrow buttons to arrange the formats from top to bottom in the order you want ePublisher to process them:
7. If you want to delete a defined cross-reference format, select the cross reference rule in the list, and then click Delete Cross Reference:
8. Click OK to close the Cross Reference Rules window.
