XRef statement
The XRef statement marks a cross-reference in text. It must appear in a ParaLine statement.
Syntax
<XRef
<Unique ID>
<XRefName tagstring>
<XRefLastUpdate seconds
microseconds>
<XRefLocked boolean>
<XRefSrcText string>
<XRefSrcIsElem boolean>
<XRefSrcFile pathname>
>
<Font...>
<String string>
<XRefEnd>
Usage
The XRef statement marks where a cross-reference appears in text. The XRefName statement applies a
format to the cross-reference text; its string argument must match the name of the format provided by an
XRefFormat statement.
The XRefSrcText statement identifies the cross-reference source. If the source text is in a separate file, the
XRefSrcFile statement provides a device-independent filename. You can omit it or give it an empty string
argument if the cross-reference source is in the same file.
The XRefEnd statement marks the end of the cross-reference.
Any String or Char statements between the XRef and XRefEnd statements represent the actual text of the
cross-reference. These intermediary statements are optional.
For an example of a cross-reference in MIF, see "Creating cross-references" on page 48.
