find_id
find_id [ ID | IDREF]
This alias scans forward from the cursor in the current document for the next element whose ID or IDREF attribute matches ID or IDREF.
The search can recognize different parts of an ID attribute if they are separated by delimiting spaces. If you do not supply the argument, a response panel prompts you to do so.
For example, if you have <xrefs idrefs="abc def", the command find_id abc would find it. (Note that the find_attr_value abc command would not find it because the attribute values don't match exactly.)
fid is a synonym for find_id.
Examples
find_id abc
fid p100
fid center
