Hello Framers, Recently was scripting a palette, using eForm and eListBox objects. While these were handy and one can do multi-selections and run sub-routines at a click or double-click, I came across something which I was not able to solve yet. If I want to move an item from one list into

Interesting idea, Matt, I set up a simple test, and the answer is no, it doesn't hold the format. I changed one of the link formats to have no character formatting at all. Applied the cross-reference. Term was happily in small caps. Updated the book, and WHAM, it's back to normal case. I also

As Alan state: The application of styles used is sequential, so one style is used until it is replaced by another, until the end of the cross reference when it returns the paragraph default. That should mean that you should be able to use the Default setting building block, then the small caps sty

Well, theoretically, here's what's happening. This is the cross-reference format definition: (Link is a character format for blue italic text) <$paranumonly>, <$paratext> The actual contents of <$paratext> is Using Where SmallCap is a variable with a character style applied to it. So, to p

If I understand Jenny's question, the Xref is losing the formatting provided in the variable. If that's the case, I doubt you'll be able to get the xref formatting you're looking for. The xref only has the option of formatting the <$paratext>, not specific parts of the paratext. If you remove c

Thanks, Alan. I looked at that approach, but I can't apply the character format in the cross-reference definition, because other words in the cross reference are not set in small caps. There is another character format applied to the x-ref...maybe they are clashing? The references are like this

You need to create a Character Style that defines Small Caps, then in the cross reference definition apply it there. From Help it says: "Including character formats in cross-references "All formats in the document’s Character Catalog appear at the end of the Building Blocks scroll list. You inser
