Actually I got a requirement that to get the Page number of a topic which was cross-referenced(xref). When I use cross reference style in Styler it gives the respective page number in the PDF with the respective links.


But I don't want to create a link just want to show the page number as text. Is it possible through styler.

I don't know Is this possible with modify of the styler formatting element _sfe:crossreference?


Could you please advise me.

    I know no way to disable links on generated text with a setting in UI. Here is a way to do it using Source Edit.

    Disclaimer: you didn't provide any details about the environment you're working with, so my answer is pretty much generic. The sample video is based on Arbortext v6.0, DITA doctype and XSL-FO print engine.

    There shouldn't be much differentce for other (FOSI or APP) print engines and other doctypes.
