Description: ------------ The cleveref package enhances LaTeX's cross-referencing features, allowing the format of cross-references to be determined automatically according to the "type" of cross-reference (equation, section, etc.) and the context in which the cross-reference is used. The formatting for each cross-reference type can be fully customised in the preamble of your document. In addition, cleveref can type-set cross-references to lists of multiple labels, automatically formatting them according to their types, sorting them, and compressing sequences of numerically consecutive labels. Again, the multiple-reference formatting is fully customisable. Though a number of other packages provide similar features, all have certain deficiencies which cleveref attempts to overcome. Using cleveref is easy. Basically, wherever you would previously have used \ref, you can use \cref instead. (Except at the beginning of a sentence, where you should use \Cref.) You no longer need to put the name of the thing you're referencing in front of the \cref command, because cleveref will sort that out for you: i.e. use "\cref{eq1}" instead of "eq.~(\ref{eq1})". If you want to refer to a range of labels, use the \crefrange command: "\crefrange{eq1}{eq5}" produces "eqs.~(1) to~(5)". Finally, if you want to refer to multiple things at once, you can now combine them all into one cross-reference and leave cleveref to sort it out: e.g. "\cref{eq2,eq1,eq3,eq5,thm2,def1}" produces: "eqs.~(1) to~(3) and~(5), theorem~5, and definition~1". Cleveref has various other useful features. For details, see the package documentation.
