Re: Vanishing X-Refs

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This kind of buggy behavior, which I noted as far back as V4, is one reason
why I believe the use of a variable for book title is better. You define
that variable in the file that contains the title page, changing it whenever
you change the title. Then, you import only the variables from that file
into all other files of the book. Note also that this allows you to insert
the BookTitle variable anywhere, not just in header/footers.
