Cross-reference building blocks
Creating cross-references to partial paragraphs
You can design cross-reference formats to include only the first part of a paragraph. For example, if you have headings
in your document that look like, “Chapter 7—Granada to Barcelona,” you can create a cross-reference that refers only
to “Chapter 7.”
Building block
What it does
Example
Page Number
Inserts the page number.

on page 23
Paragraph Number
Inserts the paragraph number in a cross-
reference to a numbered list.
See <paraNum/>
See 1
In this example, only “1” is used from the paragraph, “1.
Animals.”
Paragraph Text
Inserts the paragraph text without the
paragraph number in a cross-reference to a
numbered list.
See “<paraText/>”
See “Animals”
In this example, only “Animals” is used from the
paragraph, “1. Animals.”
Full Paragraph
Inserts the entire paragraph, including
paragraph number and paragraph text.
See “<fullPara/>”
See “1. Animals”
Partial Paragraph
Lets you create a cross-reference to the first
part of a paragraph, up to the specified
delimiter, such as a colon or em dash.
See <fullPara delim=”
:
” includeDelim=”
false
”/>
See Chapter 7
In this example, only “Chapter 7” is used from the title
“Chapter 7: Dogs and Cats.”
Specify the delimiter (such as : in this example), and
indicate whether the delimiter is excluded (“false” or “0”)
or included (“true” or “1”) in the source cross-reference.
