Referencing previous steps
Posted: Thu May 24, 2018 3:14 am
I'm working on a task topic. In some of the later steps, I want to refer back to earlier steps. I don't want to hardcode the step number....if I add a new step, those numbers will become wrong. So I'm setting up an xref to get the step number, like so:
<cmd>Reconnect any connectors that were disconnected in step <xref href="#TaskID/StepID"/>.</cmd>
My goal is to create a PDF document that will be printed and mailed to a customer. In this case, when I run my PDF transformation, the step numbers come out blue. I think it looks bad to have blue text (obviously a link) in a printed document. I was able to change the link-attrs.xsl file to make them black. Is this the best that I can do? I know that they are still considered links because when I hover over them while looking at the PDF in Adobe, the cursor icon changes.
Does Oxygen have a way to reference another step's *number* that is not link-based? Additionally, in my above example, the step number that appears in Author mode is wrong, but the step number in the generated output.
I can live with both of these things, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
