Hi Jacob,
Know the feeling, still post here too when I have my blonde moments.
Do you need to have the endterm? Try this, make your ids look like:
<section id="whatever">
<title>The Whatever Section</title>
Then when you want to cross ref to it, insert:
<xref linkend="whatever" />
This will give you the section number, rather than the name. If you
really must have the endterm, you have to make your section look like:
<section id="whatever">
<title>The Whatever Section</title>
<titleabbrev id="sect_whatever">Whatever Section</titleabbrev>
Then when you cross ref to it, insert:
<xref linkend="whatever" endterm="sect_whatever" />
This will then display what was in quotes for endterm instead of just
"Section 1.1" (or whatever number is designated).
Hope that helps!
Tabatha
