To Create a Link Using <xref>

    Use the <xref> element as shown:

 <xref id>  

where id is the ID of the chapter or section that you want to create a link to. Notice that capitalization of the ID is not significant.

Here's an example that creates a link to a section title.

<s1 id=colorpalettes>Desktop Color Palettes
.
 .
 .
 To learn how to change the colors used on your desktop,
 refer to <xref colorpalettes>.

The section title replaces the <xref> element. The title is a hyperlink, designated by an underline. This is how the sentence would appear in a help volume.
