Re: MetaEDD Editing

["Lynne A. Price" <lprice@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,
  To use a cross-reference in an EDD you'd have to change the metatemplate
to have a cross-reference element defined. Furthermore, you'd need a cross-reference
format that picks up the tag of the element you're defining without its prefix.
  It might be easier to just use variables for all tags, both when you define them
and when you use them.
