table xref output option for table number without title

[steinbacher01]

Is it possible to make xrefs to tables so the output only includes “Table X” without the rest of the title? Some table titles can be very long and this makes the xref generated text distracting.

How can we get "Table 3-2" without the table title?

Thanks,

One more @outputclass option is needed to implement this feature.

I'm afraid that introducing　this　feature　needs　significant　template　interface　changes　that　affects　existing　user.　My　suggestion is to divide getXrefTitle template into small pieces of sub-templates. So if this has done successfully, you can override one of these template that generates xref title as you like. Do you have any ideas?

I've implemented this feature in development branch as follows:

Could you test it in your side?

Also you can use @outputclass="title-prefix-only in the xref to fig .

I tested xref outputclass="title-prefix-only" to both table and fig targets. The generated text is working as expected.

Thanks for the enhancement!

Will this be included in a future release of the base pdf5-ml, or do I need to add it to my custom plugin?

Thanks again,

I　will　merge　development　branch　to　master　so　that　you　can　use　this　feature　without　customization.
