Hi,

I'm writing docs in quickbook and stumbled upon a problem. I have this document structure:

main.qbk [include a.qbk] [include b.qbk] [include c.qbk] [include x.qbk] [include y.qbk] [include z.qbk] [xinclude r.xml]

In files a, b and c I define macros that would unfold into headerref, classref, etc. for the items described in the auto-generated r.xml Reference. I want to use these macros in x, y and z, both in text and code samples.

The problem is that, it seems, quickbook doesn't unfold these macros in x, y and z. My guess is that the scope of the macros is limited to the files they are defined in. Is that true?

I tried to do the same with templates. It seems that templates are visible in x, y and z, but still are not unfolded in code samples. Is there a way around this problem?

Could you define the macros on main.qbk? If yes this works for me. Best, Vicente
