Also with an index (of about 10 pages in the printed version).Įxample of this printed version (created on Affinity Publisher): That means I create xhtml, opf and ncx files manually in a text editor. At the moment I am still creating all e-books "by hand". These 18 books are also published as e-books. Such a reference has been possible for years in Excel, for example. " This example therefore requires a reference between two different afpub files. as I mentioned in Vol 2, Lesson 5.2, page 42. So there is an example of the sentence in Vol 7 ". Some of them are references that refer to previous volumes. There are up to 100 such references per book. I started editing 18 printed books in which the cross-reference function would be of great help. I would like to inform you that these features missing in Affinity Publisher are a big problem for me.

That is, unless I've just missed this capability as I continue to evaluate the full suite. The Publisher workarounds I've seen proposed are similar to what is described here:īut really, this workaround isn't as simple, quick, nor intuitive as what is seen in Publisher's competition. Sometimes paper copies still dominate.Ĭross referencing is referred to by this name in FrameMaker, InDesign, and even Microsoft Word, all of which also offer hyperlink capabilities similar to Publisher and what you've demonstrated with your two examples.Ĭan text anchors be used to repeat, rather than link? By this, I mean, can you add an anchor to say the heading text "Appendix B" and then somewhere earlier in the document body text "call" that anchor to be repeated (the refer to "Appendix B" part of my earlier example?). Not all technical documentation is always available in electronic form. Full system specifications are found in Appendix B on page 343. Figure 43 on the next page illustrates this concept in action. Refer back to section 3.4 "System Operation" for more information. To me, cross referencing is used (and still especially useful, even in these days of electronic publishing and document interactivity) in text to refer the reader to other sections, figures, chapters, appendices, etc.
What I refer to as cross referencing is more old school, not involving interactivity that indeed you've demonstrated Publisher can handle. I should have been a little clearer though. Hyperlink interactivity is indeed very useful. The examples you've provided demonstrate that Affinity Publisher indeed handles links or hyperlinks in a variety of ways: page, anchor, URL, file, and email.
However, perhaps we aren't referring to the same things. They are set via the Hyperlink Panel and Anchor Panel. What workaround in particular are you cross referencing to out of the box?Ĭurrently the hyperlink types Page, Anchor, URL, File and Email are supported.
