Name formatting with cleveref - question about types

Question

I want to customize the text that appears when I do a \cref{}, so for example, I want to make a link to section 0.1 but I want the text to say 'Summary' not section 0.1. I had this part working with the following line at the top of my document:

\crefformat{section}{\textbf{#2Summary#3}}

and then when I call the reference I use:

\cref{sec:CogSysParadigm}

And it shows up as Summary (but with a red box around it). Which is perfect. My problem is that I can't get the same thing to work for an item. I tried 'item', itemize item, subitem, etc. Example of what I tried:

\crefformat{item}{#2ToC#3} % so this would have a ToC as the text 

and then I am using \cref like:

\cref{itm:CogSysParadigm} % but it gives me item 1(d)ii instead

Answer 1

I don't know why you need to modify the format of the references in this way, but I think that changing

\crefformat{item}{#2ToC#3}

to

\crefformat{enumi}{#2ToC#3}

is what you need.

For example, the following MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\crefformat{enumi}{#2ToC#3}
\crefformat{section}{\textbf{#2Summary#3}}

\begin{document}

\section{introduction}\label{sec:CogSysParadigm}

\begin{enumerate}
  \item
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item 1.1
    \item 1.2
    \item 1.3
    \item
    \begin{enumerate}
      \item 1.4.1
      \item 1.4.2\label{itm:CogSysParadigm}
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}
  \item 2
\end{enumerate}

In the \cref{sec:CogSysParadigm} I want to point out the \cref{itm:CogSysParadigm}.

\end{document}

produces:

Note that the first argument of \crefformat must be a counter and enumi, enumii and enumiii are the counters used by the enumerate environment for the first three levels.

Also note that this solution works at any level inside the enumerate environment. If you want it to work only at the third level you have to change enumi to enumiii.
