Hi,
I have these two definitions:
def @XRef right tag{{tag}@CrossLink{
{@TitleOf{tag}}@Case {
"" @Yield {(page @PageOf{tag})}
"??" @Yield {(page @PageOf{tag})}
else @Yield {``@TitleOf{tag}'' (page @PageOf{tag})}
}
}}
def @Function
named tag {""}
named return {""}
named name {}
named args {""}
{ # TODO format it nicely
+1p @Font @C{
return @Case{"" @Yield{@Null} else @Yield{return~}} &0c
@B{name}(args)
}
{tag @Case{"" @Yield{@Null} else @Yield @PageMark{tag}}}
}
The @Function is used like this:
@LD @Function tag{findObject.function}
return{Object}name{findObject}
args{objectName}
Now I want to be able to write:
See @XRef{findObject.function}.
And have it come out as:
See ``findObject'' (page 99).
But I don't know how to do this.
Also, I would like be to be able to make @XRef smart enough to format
functions specially by matching the end of the tag (i.e.,
".function")---is that possible?
Thanks!
