Dear All:
This is like going to school: every evening I study a very narrow topic in ConTeXt, the idea being "Si va piano, si va lontano" ("go slow and you'll get far"). So last night I was to study cross-references, and that was simple enough EXCEPT...
I could not come up with a practical application for \page[+2] or \page[-2]. I understand the concept (I think): it is two pages ahead, or two pages back, relative to the current page. But could anyone tell me in what context (sorry for the pun) would that be used?
I must be missing something. How could I possibly know what's on page "current + 2" or "current - 2" unless I compile, in which case the notation would be equivalent to inserting cross-references manually? As I said, I am missing something, but what.
believe me, you will run into much weirder functionality and it all (at least once) had a reason \starttext test \page[+2] test \stoptext just a quick way to get a few empty pages ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
