Hi Rik,

As a matter of fact the example given by Wolfgang works despite mkiv complaining about
	\analyzecurrentreference
being unknown… Whent the typesetting stops because of this command, saying « run » or rather « r » continues the typesetting.
I didn’t send the example module of Marco Patzer since it doesn’t seem to work anymore with recent versions of mkiv.

Maybe Marco has a solution for his module?

Best regards: OK

References should be relative to the current page spread, which on doublesided layouts includes two pages, verso and recto. A reference to something on either of these pages is traditionally considered to be current, and above and below refer to previous and subsequent page spreads.

Thus, one ends up with "see figure 6.4 at page 73a" instead of "see figure 6.4a at page 73".)
