Aditya's macro for \myin
As I told you in \in{chapter}[preface] on \at{page}[preface], I really like \ConTeXt. And Mr.\,Zapf (see \at{page}[zapfquote]) at least likes \TeX\ in general.

If you want less typing to get special formatting for the references to sections, equations, ... here's Aditya's recipe to do it.
Suppose that you want to get
:See ''equation (2.3)'' or ''section 4.2''.
where the slanted content is typeset automatically. You first need to define the formatting with [[cmd:definereferenceformat|\definereferenceformat]]:
<texcode>
\definereferenceformat[insec][text=section]
\definereferenceformat[ineq] [left=(,right=),text=equation]
</texcode>
Then you can simply type
<texcode>
See \ineq[eq:some equation] or \insec[sec:some section].
</texcode>
A more automated solution uses the following macro:
<texcode>
\def\myin[#1:#2]{%
\expandafter\ifx\csname in#1\endcsname\relax
\writestatus{warning}{referenceformat in#1 not defined}%
\in[#1:#2]%
\else
\csname in#1\endcsname[#1:#2]%
\fi}
</texcode>
and requires you to write the following code:
<texcode>
See \myin[eq:some equation] or \myin[sec:some section].
</texcode>
