Re: [jats-list] Element for wrapping a group of xref elements

[Bruce Rosenblum <bruce@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alf,

You can tag in all versions of NLM or in JATS as:

        "induce co-stimulatory molecule elevation<xref rid="r14 r15 
r18">14, 15, 18</xref>"

This works fine for references, and you can also do the same with 
tables or figures, as in:

        <xref rid="t1 t2 t3 t4">Tables 1-4</xref>

but beware that this may create a usability problem for the reader 
because there's no "point" on which you can click to go to table 2 or 
table 3. This is less of a problem with references since they are all 
in the same proximity.

In both cases, the key behind this is that the DTD declares rid to be 
IDREFS, not simply IDREF.
