[oXygen-user] Custom styling of xrefs in CSS?

[Cristi Talau]

Hello,

The LinkTextResolver API should work in Web Author but you will not be 
able to read the counter value - there is no API for this. You can try 
to compute the counter yourself. A second problem is that the text of 
the link will not be updated when a figure is inserted or deleted. You 
will have to trigger these updates yourself.

Can you give more details about what users are trying to achieve using 
this text for Figure references? I understand its utility in a printed 
PDF, but in this case you will not have to update the link text when a 
figure changes. So, the solution would be simpler if needed only for 
printing.

Best,
Cristian
