29.0. "Cross Referencing" by LEAF::SAHAGIAN () Wed Mar 14 1990 09:04

Question:
    
      How do we (NaC Pubs) do autoreferencing in structured docs. Do we 
do page number references? What commands do I use to make an autoreference?
    
    Autoreferencing is discussed in great detail in the Interleaf Reference
    Documentation Set. Short notes to keep in mind: 
    
    1.	Autoreferences can only be accomplished through the use of an 
    	autonumber stream.

    2.	If you are referencing something other than a Figure, Example, or 
    	Table, you must create a blank autonumber stream.  I believe the 
    	documentation also tells you how to do this.

29.1Using the Autoreference FeatureLEAF::SAHAGIANWed Mar 14 1990 10:0920
Question:
    
    I created a blank auto stream ok. Then I went to the reference location
    and pasted.
    
    I selected Properties for  the created blank autoref and inserted a tag
    name. Then I went to the  reference location, did CREATE-> REF ->
    AUTO#. Edited the Properties for  this reference and put the same tag
    name in there. The page number now  says see Page 1-1 where it should
    say 2-1.
    
Answer:
    
    You did everything correctly.  You must go into the page properties of 
    every chapter and change the page prefix from 1- to 2-, 3-, 4-, etc. 
    That  is not automatically changed by the catalog.  Alas, we cannot
    automate  everything.
    
    Using Tag Names is the method we recommend when using the autoreference
    feature.
