[texhax] Re: [pdftex] writing `#', `{', `}' into auxiliary file

[Alexander Grahn]

Thank you, 

>>change \\ to \par in your \p

I did this prior to my previous post, but for this label/ref thing
I need some more explanation. To my knowledge `\label' always writes
'\newlabel' commands referring to `\thepage' but not to `\the\count1'
into the aux file. Maybe you think of this version of my `\p':

\newcounter{lineno}
\def\p{%
  This is physical page: \pageref{line\thelineno}.\label{line\thelineno}\par
  \stepcounter{lineno}
}%

This works well and all page numbers are correct in the final DVI,
but only as long as \thepage is not beeing redefined underway. Try the
following example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{count1to}

\newcounter{lineno}
\def\p{%
  This is physical page: \pageref{line\thelineno}.\label{line\thelineno}\par
  \stepcounter{lineno}
}%

\parindent=0pt

One certainly has to persuade LaTeX to make use of \the\count1 instead
of \thepage on writing the \newlabel's.
