I realized this. There would of course be only one "\starttopica...\stoptopica block" in my text. If I would like to use delimited texts in this manner for several different topics, I would simply give them different names. Each topic its own name, like [topicb], [topicc], etc. Like you would do if you wanted to use slightly different types of blockquote in your document. So my question: "Why can some identifiers, for example of figures, be used for internal references and others not?" remains unanswered. Best regards, Robert
