Hi all, 

I'm using floating figures and tables and trying to get rid of the "on page 
xx" in my text when the referenced float is on the same page. For example if 
I write "...see figure <reference|someref> on page <page-reference|someref>" 
I whould like the page reference not to show up if the figure is on the same 
page as this text. I tried the following:

(assign "seite" 
        (func "text" "ref" 
                (if (unequal (apply "thepage") (pageref (value "ref"))) 
                        (concat (value "text") " " (pageref (value "ref")))
)))

...which works like expected except the if - condition is never false. The 
source of the problem seems to be the (apply "thepage") since entering this 
in a normal document (not preamble mode) always writes a "0". 

I also tried to write a (quote (apply "thepage")) instead of (apply 
"thepage") 
as it works in headers/footers, but it doesn't yield the expected result. 

Is there a proper way to get the actual page number within the document body?

Thanks a lot in advance of any help, 

Benno.
