Hi all, I have three diagrams closely declared within floats that have labels. Figures 3.2 and 3.3 show on page 24, with figure 3.5 showing on page 25. All 3 are Ref+Text type. Here is the text shown on page 23:
"Figures 3.2 on the next page, figure 3.3 on the following page, and 3.4 on page 25 demonstrate ..." Why is 3.2 on the *next* page, with 3.3 on the *following* page? They're both on the same page, so to me the use of these two different adjectives is misleading. My strong belief is that when writing technical content, clarity should trump "interestingness" every time. I understand that having five things on the "next" page, or five things on the "following" page, sounds redundent and boring, but I'd prefer redundent and boring to confusing. Is there any way to have the Ref+Text references use the same words for the same page, or must I resort to two different references, one for figure number and one for page? I do like the fact that Ref+Text identifies "facing" pages. Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
