Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cleveref Author's name: Toby Cubitt Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/ Summary description: Automatic cross-reference formatting. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version makes customising the reference formats far simpler and less tedious. It also adds a new conjunction and format part, used in lists containing just a pair of items. This makes certain frequently requested comma styles possible. The label command can now take an optional argument that overrides the automatically determined reference style, allowing the format of references to individual labels to be customised separately if so desired. Finally, this version removes the need to explicitly pass options to enable support for the hyperref, ntheorem and amsmath packages. Instead, it enables the support automatically if these packages are loaded. (As ever, cleveref must be loaded last to work properly.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/ .
