Wondering for a while of how to apply some styling on cross-reference generated by addCrossReference(), I discovered that adding some options like 'bold' => 'true', 'color' => '#FF0000' actually worked!

But this is not documented in your API:
https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/word-content/add-cross-reference-Word-document-with-PHP

Working example:

$wf->addCrossReference($refTitle, [
         'type'             => 'bookmark',
         'referenceName'    => $refTitle,
         'bold'             => true,
         'color'            => '#00FF00'
]);

You should indicate this on your API as it is really useful :)

Best regards,

Hello,

The addCrossReference method uses addText to generate the text content so almost all properties of this method are supported. As you say, this should be added on the API page, we'll include this information in short.

Regards.
