General ⇒ Smart References to Figures etc.

[Wramberg]

Hi, I am having a problem making a smart reference to figures, pictures etc. in Latex. So far I've put this in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\figref}[1]{figur \ref{#1} (s. \pageref{#1})}
\newcommand{\afigref}[1]{figur \ref{#1}}

Now the first line I use when the figure is not on the same page as the reference while the second I use when the figure is. Now the problem is i have to change this manually and as you can imagine that is quite annoying with all the floating graphics

So my question to you is: Is there someway I can make Latex figure out if they are on the same page and choose automatically ?

Seems like you searching for something like the cleveref and/or varioref package.
