Bookmark issues - blank " " and no periods

Post by erinhill »

Two issues I can't figure out:

1. in PDF output, some cross references don't have a period after them when in Flare it's there!
2. In PDF output, some cross references are " ", not displaying the heading when it's also there in Flare.

I've looked in the code and nothing seems weird.

I've found that I get blank " " cross references when the heading is inside a snippet. My solution was not to include headings in snippets.

I fixed it!! The style for the heading needs to be defined in mc-heading-level (under Printer Support).

For the x-ref problem, make sure the full stop is OUTSIDE the x-ref tags, as whatever is inside the tags is regenerated when you generate the output.

So it should look like this:

and NOT like this:
