Hi Toby...

Are the cross-ref formats that you're using in your topic topics defined in the template or are you creating the formats on the fly in the DITA file? These formats must exist in the template. In general, you shouldn't see any difference between fm-xref handling based on topic type. If you are seeing differences, I'd be glad to look at your files. Contact me through the URL below (in my sig).

In FM8-DITA, image/@href won't populate until you save and reopen the file.

Unfortunately, FM8-DITA uses backslashes rather than the more appropriate frontslash in @href values. In general this works fine, but it can run into problems in certain cases. in particular if you try to edit an @href value manually, you'll need to either replace the backslashes with frontslashes or use double-backslashes (else FM will turn the backslash-character into a special character. :)

DITA-FMx uses the "correct" @href slashes and has improved image handling.

Cheers!
