xref to exercisegroup

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

If I have an exercise group in a division exercises, I can give it an xml:id, and reference it.

Let's say the exercisegroup contains problems 4-11.

If I make an xref to this exercisegroup, the text of the xref will be "Exercise Group 4 - 11".

Although the exercisegroup is titled "Exercise Group." I find the xref text to be a bit unnatural. I think it sounds better to me if this reads simply "Exercises 4 - 11".

I know I can add xml:ids to the first and last problem in the group, and do my xref as

<xref first="first" last="last" text="local">Exercises</xref> but it seems more natural to me to simply xref the group.

It's fine if others prefer the text "Exercise Group" but I was curious whether I was the only one who thought that "Exercises" sounded a bit better.

Right where I was headed. I'm curious, too.

I guess if the exercise groups also were numbered, I could understand "Exercise Group 2" to mean the second exercise group. But "Exercise Group 15-20" seems off to me since the numbers refer to exercises within the group, and not the group itself. 

Jeremy suggested off list that I can get what I want with text="local" so I'll try that.
