I'm working in Frame 8. I'm not a beginner - I've been using Frame for 15 years, and I even taught it in a college last year. But I've never come across this particular situation. I'm hoping someone has a suggestion. My client wants a setup that I've never seen before.

In the heading of many sections, they want a code number and then a description, together on the same line, in the format of

A123 - DESC

They want it to appear like that in the Table of Contents. I'm using a Heading1 tag - no problem.

However, in another chapter of the book, they have many tables with cross-references to these headings. In the tables, they want ONLY the code, without the dash or description.

I am struggling to find a way to create this cross-ref. If I use <$paratext>, I'll get the dash and description also. But if I separate the code and description into two separate headings, they won't appear on the same line, and they won't show up properly in the Table of Contents.

I can't see any other cross-reference format that would work. Does anyone have an idea how to proceed?
