Editing Text for Context-Sensitive Cross-References

You can use language skins to localize the text used in your cross-references. In addition, even if you plan to create output in only one language, you can use a language skin to change the auto-text that is displayed for context-sensitive cross-references. For example, instead of the text displaying "on next page," it can be customized to display "on following page." See Creating Context-Sensitive Cross-References.

Flare provides skins for many different languages (see About Language Support for a list). If Flare does not provide a skin for a language that you would like to use, you can create a user-defined language skin.

How to edit text for context-sensitive cross-references

Select Tools>Manage Language Skins.

The Language Skins dialog opens.
From the list, select a language in bold or italic font.
Click Open File For Editing. If you selected a language in bold, click OK in the message that displays.

The Language Skin Editor opens.
On the left side of the editor, select Formats.
On the right side of the editor, click the plus button next to Cross-Reference to expand the group.
Click in any of the cells on the right and change the text as necessary.

Note: The "Format" and "Format for Print" fields not only contain text, but they also contain format commands in brackets—for example, {paratext} and {page}. For a list of commands that you can use, see Editing Cross-Reference Style Formats.
Press CTRL+S or click to save your work.
