Cross references "title" issue + other minor questions
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2019 1:44 pm
Hello,
I am using oXygen Editor 21.1 and have some questions/feature requests.
Q1. When inserting a cross reference to a figure from Author mode, the editor "helpfully" inserts the figure caption between the <xref> and </xref>.
There are 2 issues with this:
How can I disable this behaviour?
Q2. Is there a setting that allows default 1.3 references, meaning #./<local_element_id> instead of #<topic_id>/<local_element_id>?
Q3. I would also like to be able to change the default element for a keyref. Inserting a keyref in Author mode always chooses <ph>. If I choose <keyword> instead, I would like that to be the default choice at least for the current project, not only for the current file. This would really be a time saver.
Q4. I often use "surround with tags" when reviewing content. It would be useful if the shortcut Ctrl+/ would work across topics.
For example, in topic A, I select a filename and surround it with <filepath>. Afterwards, I can do that easily to all other occurences in topic A using Ctrl+/.
When moving on to topic B, Ctrl+/ is not "active" so I would first need to do a "surround with tags" before I can use Ctrl+/.
Not a major thing, but it would be nice to have a tick box for someone who wants to enable this.
Many thanks,
Ozana

There are 2 issues with this:
- If the caption changes, the cross reference will still show the old caption.
- If we want to show only Figure number as cross reference, the <xref>Caption</xref> will still show Caption instead of Figure X in the PDF.
