testing \latex \LaTeX
does anyone know how to label equations and reference them?

\usepackage{cleveref}
....
\begin{equation}
1+1=2.\label{eq:1}
\end{equation}
\Cref{eq:1} is an amazing new discovery; before Max Kaye, no one grasped the perfect and utter truth of \cref{eq:1}.
\usepackage{cleveref}
Cool, thanks. I think I was missing \usepackage{cleveref}. I actually wrote the post in latex (the post for which I asked this question), but the lesswrong docs on using latex are lacking. for example they don't tell you they support importing stuff and don't list what is supported.

I use crefs in the .tex file linked above. I suppose I should have been more specific and asked "does anyone know how to label equations and reference them on lesswrong?" instead.
