Thanks Tabatha. It seems a little weird that it would be done like that. I
will try it but isn't the problem with referencing the section id and not
the title, or am I missing something in thinking that way?
Snippet of original post:
>> <xref linkend="storinglogs" endterm="storinglogs.title"></xref>
> > <section id="storinglogs">
> > <title id="storinglogs.title">Storing of Log Files
(NFS)</title>
The error that is produced:
>> XRef LinkEnd to missing ID 'storinglogs'
I also tried it w/out the period in the endterm and title is, as Greg
suggested but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Jacob
