[Tex/LaTex] Unknown Option “noabbrev” for the package cleveref

cleverefcross-referencing

In the cleveref package document, it is clearly stated that the noabbrev option prevents the names of the references to be abbreviated. For instance instead of "Fig. 1", I'll get "Figure 1". However, when I use the option like this:

\usepackage[noabbrev]{cleveref}

I get the following error:

Unknown option 'noabbrev' for package 'cleveref'.

How can I solve the problem? Is there any versioning issue? I am using MacTeX-2011.

Edit: Here is the lines from log file related to the problem:

cleveref is at version 0.18.4 at the moment. The noabbrev option was introduced in version 0.18 (from December 2011, announcement at comp.text.tex), so this is most likely a versioning issue.

EDIT: According to your log file, you are using cleveref 0.17.9, so you need to switch to a more recent version.

[Tex/LaTex] Problem when using pdfcomment in figure captions and then referencing

This is the same underlying problem as with the question Conflict between amsmath and pdfcomment, namely that pdfcomment uses the label system internally and doesn't clean up after itself. The reason that the solution from that question doesn't work is that you are using hyperref and cleveref which both add stuff to the label-reference system and that has to be taken into account: it's not enough to just reset @currentlabel anymore, you have to reset @currentHref and \cref@currentlabel as well. hyperref defines an internal command that sets its stuff correctly, so we just have to call that, cleveref doesn't (as far as I can tell) so we have to copy the new definition of \refstepcounter to a command \refsetcounter which does the same except that it doesn't increment the counter.

Here's a copy of the code that does that, so far as I can tell!

\begin{document}

At the very least, it produces what I would expect to see with your test document.

[Tex/LaTex] Cleveref: cleveref appears to not be so clever (sorry for the pun but I couldn’t help theself)

Well, let's see, first the manual of cleveref, in the non-bugs section,

cleveref will not work properly with the standard LaTeX eqnarray environment. There is no intention to fix this. The eqnarray environment is poorly implemented, making it difficult to get it to work properly with cleveref, and it's broken any way. You're far better off using the amsmath replacements, such as gather, align, multline and split, which do work properly with cleveref. (See http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-4/madsen/).

Then, ieeetran manual,

Perhaps the most convenient and popular way to produce multiline equations is LaTeX2ε’s eqnarray environment. However, eqnarray has several serious shortcomings:[...]

Nope.

Anyway, use something other than IEEEeqnarray.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[noabbrev]{cleveref}
\begin{document}
\begin{alignat}{3}
  \ddot{x} - 2\Omega\dot{y} - \Omega^2x & = -\frac{\mu_1}{r_1^3}(x + \pi_2r_{12}) &- \frac{\mu_2}{r_2^3}(x - \pi_1r_{12})
  \label{xjacobi}\\
  \ddot{y} + 2\Omega\dot{x} - \Omega^2y & =   -\frac{\mu_1}{r_1^3}y &- \frac{\mu_2}{r_2^3}y\label{yjacobi}\\
  \ddot{z} & =  -\frac{\mu_1}{r_1^3}z &- \frac{\mu_2}{r_2^3}z\label{zjacobi}
\end{alignat}

\Cref{xjacobi,yjacobi,zjacobi}, \Cref{xjacobi}, \cref{yjacobi}
\end{document}
