In presentations, when the answer for a question always appears on the next page, and the next question appears two pages further down? Matthias On Jul 28, 2005, at 11:57 AM, Elena Fraboschi wrote:

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.

Thanks in advance, elena

Well, i know "Chi va piano, va sano e lontano, chi va forte va alla morte", something as "One who goes slowly goes safely and far; one who goes quickly will die" But also, today "Chi va piano, va sano e lontano, ma arriva dopo!" One who goes slowly goes safely and far, but he come after! It's an italian proverb:there are two syllable rimes in 'NO' and 'TE', i.e. Chi va piaNO va saNO e lontaNO ,<<pause>> chi va forTE va alla morTE. luigi
