Where is that Reference Format used? I think it's used if, and only if you want the cross-reference to have another format than the surrounding text, for example in case you want it to stand out. On the first screenshot the Auto-title Title has the same format as the surrounding text, whereas the A...

Hi Amontillado, There is some misunderstanding going on here. Let me summarize. The discussion was about *two* issues: 1) The bug Thomas Green found and I confirmed. 2) The so called "missing" parent-elements Allow me to quote myself: "Of all the Mellel templates only "Book–Techn...

Yes, I know how to make Nisus do that. :–)

You'll find the download link in a private message I sent to you.

OK, I got it! Regarding the missing parent-element:
The Figure Caption (which is a Caption Stream) needs to be INSIDE the Structure Stream.

Making further tests, I notice something strange. 1. I opened the Template browser and created a new empty document based on Default > Blank > Blank A4 (Modern) 2. Then I entered the following:

Thank you for the upload, Thomas. I can now see the problem. It is like you said, it happens the second or the third time changes are made. After several changes, the character Caption style even changes to the character Title style, then to the Section style, then back to the original style again, ...
