How to link to an appendix

Ams627
I want to say something like:

The current schema for these files is reproduced is reproduced in Appendix A.

Appendix A should be a hyperlink - but I want it to navigate to whichever appendix the schema is actually defined in. I.e. it might not always be Appendix A if I add other appendices before it.

I tried:

The current schema for these files is reproduced in <<Appendix-IPD>> it is subject to change.

[[Appendix-IPD]]
[appendix]
== Product data schema

The schema for product data files is shown below:
[source,xml]
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
....
----

However, this produces "the title of the appendix section is reproduced in Product data schema".

What's the correct way to do this?

Thanks

A

It looks like the key here is to set the :xrefstyle: document attribute: To get the appendix-numbering to show in the xref link-text, the attribute must be something besides its default value (i.e., "basic").

For the format you're after, set it to "short":

:xrefstyle: short
