Custom Xref Formatting

["David White" <davidw@kencook.com>]

I have :

                                    <figure id="i329971b" pgwide="1">

                                                <title/>

                                                <mediaobject>

                                                            <imageobject>

                                                                        <imagedata fileref="file:///c: /0001126C.eps" contentwidth="6.500in" contentdepth="3.386in"/>

                                                            </imageobject>

                                                </mediaobject>

                                    </figure>

 

And I’m using the following <xref> to reference this figure.

 

<emphasis role="strong">(<xref xrefstyle="select: label" linkend="i329971b"/>,(1))</emphasis>

 

This generates an output like this: (Figure 1,(1)) ß the “1” changes the rest of the text is fixed.

 

Is there a better way to reduce the amount of code used in my <xref> statement?  I’ve tried to add custom formatting but it doesn’t seem to take effect.

 

What I would like to achieve is something like this (making up my own tag here):

<xref xrefstyle=”template: figurewparens” linkend=”i329971b” value=”1”/>   to output (Figure 1,(1))

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks,
