198.0. "V1.2--A bugs?" by DICKNS::STOLBERG () Wed Sep 20 1989 17:08

    We are using DOCUMENT 1.2-A and we're experiencing the following:
    
    o  When the <reference> tag is used within parentheses Document
       seems to be adding an extra space between the open paren and
       the word Section (not sure if it applies to Figure, Table, etc.)
       in Bookreader output:
    
       source file --  (<reference>(sample_sec))
    
       output -- ( Section 2.2)
                     rather than (Section 2.2)
    
    o  Table and Figure labels (Table 2-1, Figure 3-2, etc.) are not 
       showing up consistently in the topic line of table and figure popups. 
       Sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't.  The code looks 
       consistent.
       
    Are these bugs?

198.1We need a little more infoNAVIGO::GRANTI&#039;ve saved $2124.00 since I quit smoking.Thu Sep 21 1989 08:4711
Hi Donna,
	We can check out the first problem you mentioned, but need a little 
information for the second.  When you say that the figure and table labels 
don't show up consistently in the topic line of their respective popups, what
do you mean?  If you display the same .DECW$BOOK file at different times, is
it inconsistent then?  Or does Table n display OK for one bookbuild but not 
for the next and then OK for another? 
	Whatever additional information you can supply will help us a lot.

	Thanks,
		Wayne
198.2More infor on the second problem...DICKNS::STOLBERGFri Sep 22 1989 17:3126
      With regards to the second problem...
    
      In one case, the Table label appears for Table 1-1 and does not
      appear for Table 1-2. The Table 1-1 topic line looks like the 
      following:
    
         Table 1-1 Target Processors
    
      The Table 1-2 topic line appears as follows:
    
         Development Software
    
      The Table 1-2 label is missing.
    
      The same labels seem to be missing across builds.  The code looks
      the same.
    
      When a label is missing from a popup, it's also missing from index
      references.
    
      Does this help?  Do you want me to provide you with a DECW$BOOK
      file that shows this?

    Donna-
    
    The first problem (extra space between open paren and xref text)
    appears to be a DOCUMENT 1.2 bug; i.e., I get the same result for
    PS output. I will forward your note to the appropriate people; you
    may want to enter a note in the DOCUMENT notes conf.
    
    Could you send me a couple of the tables in which you get the
    inconsistent topic lines?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mary

We are getting the same online problem that Donna was, but WITHOUT
the same result for PS output.  

The problem seems only to occur in ONLINE.HAND, and only when the
<reference> tag is preceded by a character or another tag.  

Any ideas?
198.5First problem fixed in next release.VAXUUM::GRANTI&#039;ve saved $2206.00 since I quit smoking.Wed Nov 15 1989 15:574
    I've found and fixed the first problem (extra space).  The fix will be
    available in the next release of the bookbuilding tools.
