[texhax] target page number of label

[Pedro Santos]

I read your first post very quickly and misunderstood it. I thought that
you only want to get the reference to the page.
Try this, I think this is what you really want. Tell me if it was
usefull.


\documentclass[12pt]{article}
% graphicx package to work with pictures
\usepackage{graphicx}
% ifthen package to provide logical operations between the figure and
page numbers
\usepackage{ifthen}

\begin{document}

% define your own command "ReferenceToFigure", with three parameters,
the first is the reference to your figure, the second the figure page,
and the third is the page in which is inserted the reference to the
figure
\newcommand{\ReferenceToFigure}[3]
{
 \ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{#3}}{Figure #1}{Figure #1 on page #2}
}

% insert your picture
\begin{figure}
 \includegraphics[height=1cm]{tux.png}
 \caption{TUX Picture}
 \label{fig:tux}
\end{figure}

% create a reference to your picture in the same page, with no reference
to the page number itself
bla bla bla, with a reference to
\ReferenceToFigure{\ref{fig:tux}}{\pageref{fig:tux}}{\thepage}, in the
same page\\

\newpage

% create a reference to your picture in a different page, with reference
to the page number
bla bla bla, with a reference to
\ReferenceToFigure{\ref{fig:tux}}{\pageref{fig:tux}}{\thepage}, which is
in another page\\

\end{document}
