RTF document with cross references

[Birgit]

Hi,
How can I create an RTF report containing cross references like "see chapter 5.1 MyChapterHeading" (so 5.1 MyChapterHeading can be clicked on and hyperlinks to the chapter)?

The way I currently work with EA is:
1. Write text in Word document.
2. Copy Word text into EA elements/packages as notes.
3. Create RTF report using our own template.

Any advice appreciated.

You could use a LinkedDocument for the element you are placing the element in and manually add the reference in that RTF template. Then check the LinkedDocument section in the template generator.
This works as long as you do no structural changes  to the model which would cause the generated document chapter to be renumbered.

AFAIK there is no way to automatically reference sections. Custom references are not generated in the RTF docs (though there is always a chance to write your own export add-in).

I think you can put a bookmark into an RTF document. See the documentation or search the forum for how. I do not know if you can (easily) use the bookmark as the target for a cross-reference, but it sounds like a plausible starting point.

Thanks for your feedback!
I still didn't quite figure out how I could insert cross-references. Tried the bookmarks. LinkedDox might be tricky, since the document structure tends to change every now and again.
