- Egg-zactly; TG!'ll be happy to hang on to cross-references to articles
- which do not yet exist... then, if/when they *do* arrive, TG! will
- cheerfully attach the cross-reference, and *voila* instant x-ref!
-
- (NOTE that this is in direct conflict with Paul's concepts of what the
- cross-references should be... he feels that the xref's should only point
- to articles which already exist; that's cool, cos it's up to the editors
- to decide what xref's to allow in official articles anyway...)
-
- (Furthermore, TG! will automagically double-link any and all xref's so
- that if article B has a cross-reference to article A, then the system
- will automagically add a cross-reference from A back to B. Cool, huh?)
