General ⇒ Converting a reference to integer

[gmedina]

Hi,

I remember that this question (or a very similar one) was posed here some time ago, but I haven't been able to find the thread. I am using \pageref to retrieve the number of certain pages of a document and then I need to perform integer operations using those values. How can I convert the value given by \pageref to a (La)TeX integer?

The following code obviously doesn't work:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{intcalc}

\setcounter{page}{40}

\begin{document}

\section{Test}
\label{sec:test}

\intcalcMod{\pageref{sec:test}}{3}

\end{document}

I think the refcount package has some commands that will do that.

Yes, it has the command that I needed. Thank you very much!
