I noticed that references to a float get
the correct page number. So the latex is
capable of giving correct information.
I resorted to using a macro that
sets a label immediately followed by a
pagenumber reference to that label.
This is always correct, and can be used
in a /ifthenelse to see if the
page is even or odd.
The macro got complicated because I need to use it in
many floats - so it uses a counter to set
unique labels. I wonder if there is a better
way to obtain pagenumbers even inside a float?
