Name of contribution: cleveref

Author's name: Toby Cubitt
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.

The ESK package allows to encapsulate Sketch files in LaTeX sources.
This is very useful for keeping illustrations in sync with
the text. It also frees the user from inventing descriptive
names for new files that fit into the confines of file
system conventions. Sketch is a 3D scene description
language by Eugene K. Ressler and can generate TikZ and
PSTricks code. ESK behaves similar to EMP which encapsulates
Metapost files and is in fact originated in it.

In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting

starting point for the softmaker-freefont bundle.
Other fonts will be included in future.
Supported fonts at the moment:
Artistic, Baskerville-Nova (regular + bold + italic
+ bold italic), Canossa (regular + bold + light), Congress
(regular + bold + italic), Delano-Caps, Flagstaff, Henderson
Iceberg (regular + bold), Jugendstil, Old Blackletter,
Stone Handwriting, Sunset (regular + bold)
License: LPPL (not the fonts themselves)
New in v1.11:
- added support for the font Softmaker Artistic
(regular + faked slanted + faked small caps)
Attention: The font is not included! This font is font
of the month (May 2010) and can be downloaded for free
(at least this month) at: http://www.freefont.de
Later you can buy it from Softmaker
