By loading colordoc on top of a documentation file (that

as the names of new commands.
It makes code a little more readable, and it helps when

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/
Summary description: Intelligent cross-referencing
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version of the cleveref package introduces major
changes to the underlying implementation, which *should*
mean that cleveref is now compatible with the memoir class,
titleref, backref, and any other packages that modify
LaTeX's cross-reference machinery.
This version also fixes an important bug that messed up the
spacing of amsmath multi-line equation environments when the
optional argument to label was used.
Finally, a handful of new features have been introduced:
* Cross-references to footnotes are now supported.
* If no cross-reference formatting has been defined for a
new theorem-like environment, cleveref now falls back to
deducing as much as it can from the corresponding
ewtheorem command.
* New
amecref and
ameCref commands have been introduced
to produce just the name of a cross-reference (equation,
theorem, etc.), without the label.
