- Summary
- How do we create page cross-references?

- Description
- If a typeset page collection contains inter-page references, we want the link to be shown with a page number reference. We know what the link text format needs to look like; we need the link processor to scan the list of pages being typeset to see if the current reference is in the list, but only for pdf output. See cross-references?.

- Proposed solution
- It should be a matter of invoking a different $LinkFunctions[‘<:page>’] function that looks to see of the page name in the $path is in the list of pages and if so set the appropriate
$LinkPageExistsFmt. This needs to handle references to page anchors as well. If these are within the collection, the anchor needs to be disambiguated by adding the page name to it.

- Resolution
- Cross-references within and between pages are now supported. It adds a pagename qualifier to avoid errors if authors use the same anchor name on different pages. It recognises cross-references created by the publish script, which are unique. It ignores trivial cross-references, such as a reference to the current line. The reference is of the form “(p i)” where i is the page number.
