Hi, all.
I should have specified that my Framemaker template will be used to produce
both PDFs and compiled help files.
After a discussion on techwr-l or possibly this list, I decided to keep figure
and table numbers in my online cross-references, but not page numbers. I
currently append
I use bold for referencing sections, instead of quotation marks. It
makes things much simpler as far where to put the comma, and this style
seems to be popular.

You can also make the punctuation and quotation marks a moot point by
italicizing the book title, chapter title, heading, or other object,
which would greatly reduce the number of cross-refs that you need.

Considering she's setting up a template for a print document, it makes
sense to include the page numbers in the x-ref formats.
If she's outputting to a different format, she can create a separate set
