The hardcopy manual I'm putting online has margin notes. To emulate
this online, I put the note inside a popup. Some of these notes
contain cross-references. It appears that if the cross-reference is
outside the chapter, it works fine (is hotspotted, and you can click on
it and be taken there). However, if the cross-reference is to another
section _inside_ the chapter, the reference doesn't work (no hotspot).
Here's the coding I used as a test:
<condition>(online)
<online_popup>(note)
<note>
You can change the way double-click commands work. See
the section <reference>(double_click) for more information.
See <reference>(session_chap) for more information.
<endnote>
<endonline_popup>
<endcondition>
The reference session_chap is to another chapter, and is a hotspot.
The reference double_click is to a section in the current chapter, and
does not have a hotspot.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
kate

Kate,
I replied to this note in the BOOKREADER notes conf asking for some
more information (i.e., what baselevel are you running, etc.). Does
this happen all the time for these xrefs in <note>s? just the first
time?
<margin_note> is supported for online output. It may not suit your
purposes but I thought I'd mention that since there was some
confusion here in ZK at one time and people thought it was *not*
supported.

Mary:
Joe forwarded me my posting in the Bookreader conference and asked me
to post it here instead -- so I never thought to look in the
Bookreader conference for replies...sorry!
We are running the Oct. 27 baselevel. The note I'm having trouble with
is the only popup note in the entire document that references a section
inside the chapter. All the other popup notes point the reader to
another book, or contain a cross-reference to a different chapter. So,
yes, the problem note is the first popup note in that particular
chapter, as well as the first in the book, that contains a
cross-reference to a section inside the chapter.
I'll try a test profile that contains just front matter and this
chapter, and see if the cross-reference remains not hot. Let you know
shortly....
Kate
P.S. I think I actually tried leaving the <margin_note> tags in the way
they were, but since the note is placed (generally) between a head and
the following text, it looks very strange and struck me as confusing to
the reader as it is sort of out of context.

Kate,
The problem is with the <unnumbered_heads> tag in your file.
I don't know (yet) why, but when it is used, hotspots to
sections do not appear. I will look into this asap and see
that it is fixed for 1.2B.
I know of no workaround except to remove the <unnumbered_heads>
tags.
Thanks for finding this bug.

Thanks very much for looking into this for me, and for trying to get it
fixed for 1.2B. Much appreciated!
