Subject: Relative references to floats
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:43:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <huo2a6$cn0$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
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.
