Xref - Tool to Generate Cross References in an Article, Paper or Report

---

Usage

1. Write a paper. Obey the following rules:
• Use Harvard citation style. References should look like (Turk, 1997) or Turk (1997) or (Turk and Smith, 1997) or (Turk et al, 1997). There should be a section called "References" where the entries should look like
  
  

Turk, Z. (1997). Etc, etc, etc. 


• Number the sections numerically with arabic numbers and dots, like 2.3 Method or 1 Intoduction.
• Make sure that the figure captions start with something like FIG. 5: or Figure 5: (the colon after the number and the Fig[ure] strings are necessary. Make sure that references to figures look like see fig. 5 (this time without the colon).
• The same goes for tables.
2. Save the paper as RTF.
3. Run the RTFtoHTM program.
4. Run Xref.
   Xref will do the following:
• Insert paragraph marks before and after figures. For some reason rtf2htm does not do this.
• Create links from any http:// or ftp:// URLs not already liked.
• Make nicer bullet lists out of paragraphs starting with *
• Create cross references to figures, tables and bibliographic references.
• Remove tale of contents from the text.
• Create index.htm file. This file will contain the paper up to the section heading numbered with 1. It will include pointers to framed and non-framed version of the paper and the possible paper.pdf, paper.rtf and paper.doc files.
• It will also create the file "toc.htm" with the table of contents.
