Referencing untitled art

Avoid making cross-references to untitled or unnumbered art unless the relation of the art to the text is not immediately apparent or the content of the art furthers the explanation found in the text. In that case, a reference to the art is helpful. However, the art should appear as close to the reference as possible; so that you can write something like “The following illustration shows....”

Avoid making any cross-references to art unless the art immediately precedes or follows the reference on the page.

Use preceding and following (or more specific references) when referring to art, not above, below, earlier, or later. End the introductory sentence with a period, not a colon.

See Cross-references for cross-referencing numbered art.
