How do I enter my own choice of caller for cross reference footnotes?

Question

The character entered after the opening marker indicates what caller will be used in the text.

In Unformatted view, you can enter your choice of character (preceded by a space) after the initial opening marker. Two examples:
\x - \xo 1:3 \xt… or \x # \xo 1:3 \xt…
In Formatted and Standard view, the default character - is chosen when a cross reference footnote is inserted. This can be changed, one cross reference footnote at a time, by clicking the character in the Footnote pane and selecting and entering a custom caller from the Footnote Caller dialog.

In Formatted and Standard view, the Footnote pane opens automatically when you insert a cross reference footnote. To open the Footnote pane without inserting a cross reference footnote, select Show Footnotes from the View menu.

Automatically generated callers

The - character indicates that an asterisk will be used in the text. If you wish to use a different single character or sequence of characters, you can define this in the Language Settings used by your project (on the Other Characters tab) and then use the + character in your cross reference footnotes. When you view your text in Standard, Formatted or Preview view, the character(s) you define will be displayed.

Answer 1

In Paratext help search for caller id. This has an entry of “Project >
Language Settings > Other Characters”

Going there results in the following screen. You will see the two
dialogue boxes for footnote callers and cross reference callers.

To use these, create the footnote or cross reference with + as the
caller as in "\f + ". This will automatically generate the callers based
on what was specified in the other characters tab. If those fields are
empty, callers will use the endlish alphabet.
