Hi all,
OK, I know that there has been a discussion recently about this on the list, but I am not sure if my situation differs slightly, so I will ask my question and if it is a repeat, my apologies in advance. I have inherited a MASSIVE multi-book project in which the "Help" as it was called was delivered as individual PDFs in a set structure. Within each of these books, there were not only intra x-references (cross-references w/ in the same file or across files w/in the same book), but also inter-book x-refs (For example, from a file in PDF.1 to a specific location in a file in PDF.2). Here is my question: When working with a file in a book, there will be a link that says to click "Here" and the link is an inter-file link. The format of the link is this: <EmphasisBlue>HERE (<$paratext[filename]>, Section <$paranumonly>), where the filename refers to the filename of the PDF of the Framemaker book. I really want to modify this link so that the filename of the book does not show, remove the word "here" and because the sections are being changed to non-numbered headings, I would also change from paranumonly to paratext and the x-ref would be to the heading text, but I still want the link to be displayed in blue to indicate that it is a link. I initially set up a character format called "White" and applied it to the PDF filename and then applied the EmphasisBlue just to the <$paratext> like this: See <White>(<$paratext[filename]><EmphasisBlue><$paratext> But I am getting this in the preview: See <big space> "correct heading text." So, yea, the big space is the file name being included, but it is not shown because it is in white - however, because it's "there," I have the space in the x-ref. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I could get this x-ref to work but w/out showing the filename and not having the spacing issues? Thank you!
