DOCBOOK: Re: Referencing examples and figures

/ Sebastian Bergmann <> was heard to say:
|   Hi there.
|
|   How do I best go about referencing <figure>s and <example>s, so that
|   I only get their number in the rendered output, when using the DocBook
|   XSL stylesheets?
|
|   Example:
|
|     <para>
|       Example <reference/> shows ...

You want <xref> here.

|   Output:
|
|     Example 4.2 shows ...

You'll have to tweak the l10n a bit to get rid of the default leading
"Example". Follow-up to DocBook-apps, please, if you need more help
with that.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
