The reason I need this behavior is that I am adding endnotes to the body and footnote area of a historical text that already has footnotes. So to emulate endnotes, I thought I could crossref an autonumbered list from the body area and the footnote area. It will look the same, but relies on that the crossref can return the actual autonumber of the listitem. Thanks anyway. Best regards, MatsHello Mats, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but a while ago I needed to reference a numbered item and I "solved" the problem with simple trick (you may want to replace simple with dirty, it's a matter of taste :-) ): What I did was to add as *hidden text* the number of the item next to the actual number automatically generated, then then referenced it. The drawback is that if someone activates the show hidden text they will "call your bluff". If you go for it and need to repeat this several times, I suggest you create a character style specifying the attribute "hidden" (saves a lot of clicking). I tried to use the hidden text variable (which I think is the right way of doing it), but did not manage because the reference inherits the property "hidden". Cheers, Michele
Docbook has a simple way of doing this. Attached are the input .xml file and the (pretty printed) output .html file. Also attached is the .xsl file doing the transformation. I read somewhere in OOoWriter docs about filters. I'm guessing that a filter is somewhat like the .xsl file in that it does some kind of transform on the doc. Maybe a filter could do this numbering semi-automatically. IOW, maybe as your composing the doc, the cross reference numbers might appear as ?num? and then after the filter is run they would have the proper numbers filled in. Are there any filter experts out there that could shed some light on this question? BTW, my motivation for this is that I've got a legal document from a lawyer, and he just left the paragraph reference number blank. I guess he anticipates inserting or deleting paragraphs and figured why hardcode the paragraph number in. I also have a similar document from another lawyer and the paragraph number was filled in; however, it was off by one, AFAICT. This illustrates the importance of having this automated. IOW, have a unique identifier (like the id attribute for an xml element), which the filter (or whatever) can use to retrieve or calculate the correct paragraph (or listitem) number. -Larry
