Thanks, Robert...Here's the problem with using <$volnum> .... I'm already using it. :-)
As is many documentation projects, the total scope of the documentation set was unknown and its getting bigger and bigger. As it got bigger, I want from Chapters, to Sections having multiple Chapters. I then went to Volumes having multiple Sections. Now, I have Books having multiple Volumes. I know what I'm going to have to do...stop moving up and move some down; move Sections down to Subsection, Volume down to Section, and Book to down to Volume. Unfortunately, for the next 60 days, that will be like changing a flat tire while going 30 down the road. |------------> | From: | |------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Robert Lauriston <[email protected]> | >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | To: | |------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |John X Posada/HBUS/HSBC@HSBC02, [email protected] | >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Date: | |------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |03/26/2013 03:03 PM | >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Subject: | |------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Re: Putting variables in cross references | >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------> | Sent by: | |------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |[email protected] | >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| You can't include variables in cross-reference definitions. You could probably use the <$volnum> building block to accomplish that.
