DITA cross-reference formats
Hello All I'm new to FM 9 (though well-versed in FM 7.x). I'm using the Structured interface, editing a DITA structured document, but am having problems trying to edit cross-reference formats. I can insert the fm-xref or xref elements with no problem. However, the dialog box that opens is titled "DITA Cross-Reference", and I want to edit the xref format - but there's no way to do it. I managed once to trick FM into opening the ordinary Cross-Reference dialog box, where there is an Edit Format button. But I'm darned if I can remember how I did it. Special > Cross-Reference opens the DITA thingy, as does double-clicking on an existing xref. Thanks for your help.

Good week to all! I want to have an xref format that looks like this: (see, Figure #) this is the xref format that I wrote: (see, \'<$paranum>?)\ This is what I get in the doc: (see, "Figure 55:') - although you cannot really see it here, the first quotation marks are double & curly and the second one is single and curly - Why? If I do not use the quotation marks I only see (). And where did the colon after the fig # come from? Leah Smaller Technical Writer Certified Feldenkrais Method practitioner leah at compulite.com
