There are still some physical page references and one residual anchor link in the code.

  • For details on **Resistance Rolls**, see page 28.
  • They’re all described on the next page.
  • (See the sets of possible outcomes, by position, on the next page.)
  • See the next page.
  • (samples provided on the next page).
  • Examples are provided on the preceding page.
  • (see the complete descriptions on the following page)
  • see the following pages.
  • See **Advancement**, page 40.
  • See page <a href="Generic_Character_Playbook.html#_idTextAnchor013">38</a> for more details.
  • (detailed on the next page)
  • See page 94 for details.
  • The entanglements are detailed on the following pages.
  • See **Crew Upgrades**, page 65.
  • Common alchemicals (see **Sample Creations** on page 226)
  • (see the results on the next page)
  • (see examples on the sample creations, next page)

The last reference (to sample creations) also brings up the point that there are no stubs in the SRD for things the game designer needs to fill in, so some of these references are dangling. Is there a preferred way to fix this problem in the SRD?

The <a href=...> instance above is the only one in the document.

Can we replace the page references with links of the form [ text ]( link ) to explicitly added anchors? I'm not sure how widely supported that is in various markdown flavors. I'm also not sure how well it converts to LaTeX references when using something like pandoc-citeproc.

I'm not sure I got all the Page references fixed in my Pull Request. Markdown files don't have pages per'se, that requires final repagination in whatever processing software you use. The best thing to do a perhaps remove the page numbers (replace them with a placeholder/marker) and insert your own after you have things re-formatted. I'll take another peek at my Fork of this project and put in a placeholder for future reference, then submit another Pull Request. THX!

I don't think page numbers make sense for an online document. I was suggesting in the issue replacing them with anchors and links.
