🚀 go-pugleaf

The cross reference in header/footer sprung from the suggestion to add the "inset" file to the book rather than importing the "inset" into a topic. 

The variable approach may go some way to fix that, but I wasn't clear on what Arnis was talking about when he said "control file in a book" - I'll RTFM to learn more. 

However, the issue still remains, cross references in the text inset do not get converted to hyperlinks when you generate the pdf. Arnis's workaround was to convert the cross references to something else. For me this work around is not practical. For me, I have to live with the fact that some cross references won't work in the pdf. 

To Adobe I say fix this feature so that it works as intended - it looks like a bug! 

The other issue of partial pages and text insets is also another weakness that could be exploited. If Adobe could work on this one then FrameMaker could compete with growing number of other content management systems that we are starting to see emerge on the market, e.g. AuthorIT. 

This should clarify any confusion that has arisen from the previous posts - it would seem that we are all in agreement - Adobe has some work to do!
