[reportlab-users] Trying to implement "See page X"

[Roberto Alsina]

And it's almost there, but I am doing something wrong :-)

Here's my approach: In some cases, instead of a regular paragraph, create a 
DelayedParagraph wrapper around Paragraph, which is an IndexingFlowable and 
gets notified of bookmarks.

Then, in DelayedParagraph.notify, "fix" the text by replacing references to 
bookmarks with the corresponding page numbers.

Example: 

	'Go see A title (Page %(a-title)s)'%{'a-title': 2}

And it works like a charm... unless the bookmark is *after* the 
DelayedParagraph, in which case it just gets drawn before the text is "fixed".

I though that by returning False to isSatisfied(), the delayedParagraph would 
not get drawn, then force another build pass, fix the references, then draw 
it, but I am obviously mistaking.

I can't use onDraw like the table of contents does because I need to put the 
page number in the paragraph textflow, and that means I can't just "save the 
space" for it.

Sadly since this is in rst2pdf extracting a small example is not trivial, I 
hope my description is useful...

Here is my DelayedParagraph class:
