Patches the cleveref package and adds forward-referencing functionality
Imagine you are reading a long mathematical text such as a text book or a thesis. There are plenty of supplementary lemmas, propositions, theorems and/or exercises throughout the whole text.
You ask yourself "Gosh, while Lemma 1.12 is certainly an interesting result where is this result used later on in this long text? I really would find that helpful to decide why I should read the proof."
You can, of course, use the PDF search function of your viewer to look up the string "Lemma 1.12" but wouldn't it be more helpful if Lemma 1.12 already indicates all or at least its most useful/crucial applications via an info message?
This is what the package cleveref-usedon tries to address. The info message "Used on p. 40, 43-45 and 101." would then be printed to the header of Lemma 1.12.
Check the package documentation for more info on the usage or look at an example directly.
Place the file cleveref-usedon.sty at a location which your LaTeX distribution understands. For instance, on OS X you can place it in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex.
If you don't know where that would be on your OS, you can also simply drop this file in the same directory as the .tex file where you want to use the package.
If you wish you can also 'compile' the package style file cleveref-usedon.sty and the documentation cleveref-usedon.pdf 'from source' as follows:
