Thanks for the quick reply! my interim response is an extract from Tony Self's DITA Style Guide:
"When referring a reader to a step in a task [...] you must always use the <xref> element, with the type attribute set to li. (The <li> element is the ancestor of the <step> element)" So this is where the use of type="li" comes from, and I thought I had successfully followed the same instructions for other xref. As for the question of XML Mind version, I have forwarded your (helpful, and entirely justifiable) observation to my manager: and reminded him (though it is not his fault) that it is now nearly a year since I submitted my update request. The request has been approved, but getting anyone to take action and make the download is ... let's just say, not easy.

See attached sample. As expected, the generated Web Help contains: "As explained in step #*2*, you'll see that foo is in bar state." *2* is the text generated for the empty xref. See attached screenshot. You probably made a mistake. Please double-check what you did. For example, please take a close look at the warnings reported by "Map|Check Map". --- PS: We officially only support the most recent major version of our products.
