Cross referencing by using \useexternaldoument

Cross referencing by using \useexternaldoument

[Willi Egger]

Hi all,

there is an old thread concerning this issue from september 2015. It appears unfortunately, that this issue persists. 

You can reference to places inside a document, but references to an outside document are broken. The links do not work and no page numbers or texts are typeset from the external document.

Can someone help me to solve this?

Kind regards

Willi

I tried your example and had no problem to get the page and section numbers
from the other document. What you have to ensure is that the tuc-file 
for the
other document you want to refer dies exist because context uses it to get
the values for the numbers etc.

Hello Wolfgang!

Thank you again for your explanation. Indeed the thing is the availability of the tuc-file of the referenced file. — I will add a note on this on the Wiki.
