But it's not what I meant. A couple of notes:
a. The calls of .SETR in your example are redun-
dant in both cases because the corresponding
references are already set by the previous
call of .FG via its fourth argument.
b. Your version works only because .FG, when
called from within a display, uses
.lix@embedded-text instead of .lix@print-text.
The former relies on delayed expantion (see
escape '\!') which causes a macro call within
a string to be interpreted.
I was suggesting to call
.ds rsql\" to smother an error message on first pass
.GETST fig:cold-mises-mesh ref:cmm
in the beginning of the ducument and then use the
resulting string \*[ref:cmm] in captions.
