Hello,

The LinkTextResolver API should work in Web Author but you will not be able to read the counter value - there is no API for this. You can try to compute the counter yourself. A second problem is that the text of the link will not be updated when a figure is inserted or deleted. You will have to trigger these updates yourself.

Can you give more details about what users are trying to achieve using this text for Figure references? I understand its utility in a printed PDF, but in this case you will not have to update the link text when a figure changes. So, the solution would be simpler if needed only for printing.

Best,
Cristian

Hi,

I need to customize display of DocBook xref elements pointing to
figures. Such xrefs shouldn't display title of referenced figure, but
instead figure number should be displayed (something like Figure 3.2).

I was reading documentation but my impression is that this can't be done
in pure CSS with oXygen extensions. Instead I have to implement my own
LinkTextResolver:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/ecss/extensions/api/link/LinkTextResolver.html

Is that right assess or have I missed something? Also will
LinkTextResolver work in Web Author?

In this particular case it would be useful to have access to content
generated by :before on the link target. For example with function like
oxy_link-text-before() my problem could be easily solved as:

xref { content: oxy_link-text-before(); }

Many thanks in advance,

					Jirka
