Subject: [REPOST] How do I generate the page number of an <anchor> in print?


Hi.

I'm taking the liberty of reposting a question I sent to the list on 24 
August. I didn't get any responses, so I hope someone would be kind 
enough to read it and - better yet :-) - answer it this time.

Here we go:

A tecnical writer at my company wants to generate a cross reference to 
an <anchor> in the middle of a long section. He wants the page number of 
the page "containing" the anchor to be generated in print output.

Now, with normal references to, e.g., sections, I would just make him 
use <xref linkend="someID" xrefstyle="select: Page"/>. But, as is 
documented in Bob Stayton's excellent book, xref to an anchor is not the 
way out, which seems reasonable :-).

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get the referenced page 
number in print and some other reasonable output in HTML/HTMLHelp output?

Best regards,

	Rune Lausen
