Hello, is there currently (in MkIV) some way to have relative references to floats? I imagine something like "... as you can see \above[fig:somefigure]." which would print "... as you can see above." if the figure is above the current paragraph or "... as you can see below." if it is below.
Maybe it's unusual to do that in books/papers, but I thought it might look better than to reference a page or a number if it is expected, that the figure is close by anyway. It would be nice if it could even go so far as to include page offsets ... "... as you can see on the next page" or "... as you can see two pages ahead". I have no real need to use this, it was just an idea to tidy up my text a bit (without risking wrong references when the layout changes and floats shift around). So if that is currently possible: awesome ... if not: no harm done :-) Best Regards, Andreas. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
