RE: Titles of forms for cross-references

["Steve Hudson" <steve -at- wright -dot- com -dot- au>]

Yo Bear. I would go with the latter. This eg explains why:

<Ital>ADA43 - Universal Module </Ital>installation
sheet (P/N 300300).

<Ital>ADA44 - Universal Module </Ital>quick reference manual
sheet (P/N 300301).

are both different - part of the same product family sure. Thus the only
difference - the 'doco type' - needs to be included as well IMHO.

To take this one step further, most of my document titles are of the form
Product Edition Assembly Document_Type and I store Product, Edition,
Assembly and Doc_Type info separately as well - its usually fully redundant
for development materials but what the hey.

We create installation sheets for various modules. The
"title" printed at the top of the sheet consists of two
lines: model number and model name. The footer of each sheet
includes the words "Installation Sheet" on one line, then
the model number and model name concatenated into a second
line.

For cross-reference purposes, what is the true and sacred
title of the sheet? Is it:

See the <Ital>ADA43 - Universal Module </Ital>installation
sheet (P/N 300300).

or

See the <Ital>ADA43 - Universal Module Installation Sheet
</Ital>(P/N 300300)

In other words, is the "form" name part of the title of the
work?
