How to get more complete references

\ref itself only prints the number of whatever I am referencing - e.g. a chapter/section/subsection or a theorem/lemma/definition (from amsthm via \newtheorem).

I would like to have a command which prints also what the \ref-number actually is. Right now, I am doing it manually as in "in lemma \ref{...}" or "in section \ref{...}".

Sometimes I move a \label somewhere else or make the labeled lemma a theorem or so and I don't want to search manually through the rest of my code to update it (section -> chapter, lemma -> theorem, ...).

  • We ought to add this one to the FAQ, or make a "sticky" question somehow that floats to the top. It is surely our most FAQ.

  • @RyanReich There are a good dozen of "repetitive questions". And this is only 3rd question linked to "How to get more complete references".

  • @tohecz Perhaps it's just bias, but it seems like this one comes up every other week. Not that it's a bad question; just that it's a very popular one.

Seems I was too stupid to search. It looks like the package cleveref does mostly what I want.
