+Calling external Python Code from a Modelica model
+--------------------------------------------------

+The following calls external Python code through a very simplistic
+external function (no data is retrieved from the Python code).
+By making it a dynamically linked library, you might get the code to
+work without changing the linker settings.

+Calling OpenModelica from Python Code
+-------------------------------------
 
 This section describes a simple-minded approach to calling Python code
 from OpenModelica. For a description of Python scripting with
-OpenModelica, see Chapter 13.
+OpenModelica, see :ref:`ompython`.
 
 The interaction with Python can be perfomed in four different ways
 whereas one is illustrated below. Assume that we have the following

 The fourth variant is to use external function calls to directly
 communicate with the executing simulation process.
