Cross-references don't work in some cases

[dividor]

For some documents, cross-references seem to work just fine, but other they don't come through.

Attached is a new word document where I created a cross reference. The generated HTML doesn't convert these to a link.

thanks!

Looks like this happens when the cross reference is created using fields.

Hello!

Just curious if this feature is being worked on. No problem if its not, I'd just like to know if I should be building a work around.

Thanks,
Mike

Not right now, but I'll take a look when I get a chance. Although I haven't investigated properly, this will hopefully be similar to how fields representing hyperlinks work, so not particularly difficult to handle.

Hi There,

Just wondered if there was maybe an update on this please? Or perhaps a way we can intercept the parsing so we could add logic to handle these somehow?

thanks!

[mwilliamson]

Nope, no update I'm afraid.

This has become a bit of a show-stopper for us it seems, we have tons of Word docs with cross-references.

Is there any way please we can have a way in the code of identifying these and implementing the link ourselves?

I suspect adding hooks into the code to allow custom handling of fields would be more work than handling cross reference fields properly.
