Cross reference formating

[Liora Darom]

Hi

Im trying to make cross-references between multy files in a book.

The cross-references is based on text anchors, wich are named as a letter (or two) and a number (or two): PC1, Pl3.2, H3 etc. those are the destination.

In the source, I would lime them to look like: 

I mean in two lines.

Is there a way to do this?

Im working with indesign 18.1

Thank you

There is, can't give you the precise answer as I'm on my phone, but it involves combining sup- & super- scripts and 0 kerning tracking - moving letters over each other - or something like that. Someone even created a script for that - will try to find it.

May be I can make it easiyer:

How do I split H7.1 into two lines via paragrath style. 

Using grep expression?

As often, simplistically:

I've used a text frame anchored in the text and defined through an object style [including para style, auto-resizing (that allows the 2 lines! I've just simply use for that a "normal space" in the text-anchor name!) and anchoring.

To add a new cross-ref, just copy-paste such an empty text frame, place the cursor in it and insert the CR!

Magic!
