TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In response to Kim Heidt (Kim -dot- Heidt -at- IAC -dot- HONEYWELL -dot- COM) ....
About abbreviations ... If most of your readers would *not* know what "PMDP" is,
it would be best to use the cross-reference as you intended:
PMDP. See Process Module Data Point
If you place all of your cross-references in a separate file, such as the file
with your front matter or at the beginning of Chapter 1, you shouldn't have any
problems. Mark each cross-reference only once.
If you do encounter problems, your third option should work fine.
BTW, I also subscribe to this list in digest mode, and I would be interested in
knowing about other solutions you receive.
Happy indexing .... Lori
