General ⇒ cleveref | Cross-references in Appendix fail

[Bob_the_Topper]

Hi!

I use cleveref to get more convenient cross references which among other things support multiple references inside a single command. This works fine except in the appendix. Whenever I put multiple references inside a single \cref{} in the appendix I get an error on the second run of PDFLaTeX.

Here's a minimal example ...

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\begin{document}

\appendix

\section{Section One}
\label{A}
Merged cref: \cref{A,B}

\section{Section Two}
\label{B}
Merged cref: \cref{A,B}

\end{document}

... and the error PDFLaTeX produces:

Code: Select all

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   {
l.13 Merged cref: \cref{A,B}

Without the \appendix everything works just fine. Any ideas how to fix this?

This code example works for me without errors. I'm using scrbook 2011/04/02 v3.09 and cleveref 2011/03/22 v0.17.9. Check your files and perhaps update.

Thanks for your reply. I updated my TexLive and the small test example compiles fine now.

Unfortunately that didn't fix my original problem. In my main file I use cleveref in combination with varioref and that still results in the error.

Here is an updated example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{varioref}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\begin{document}

\appendix
\pagenumbering{roman}

\section{Section One}
\label{A}
Merged vref: \vref{A,B}

\clearpage
\section{Section Two}
\label{B}
Merged vref: \cref{A,B}

\end{document}

Error during the second run of pdflatex:

Code: Select all

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   i
l.16 Merged cref: \vref{A,B}

When I comment out either \appendix or \pagenumbering{roman} it works, but not with both present.

Also the updated example works for me. What did you update? Which package versions do you use now? The difference in your updated example, compared to the first example, is that you use varioref. If you did just update cleveref and perhaps KOMA-Script, you may need to update varioref too. For me, it works with TeX Live 2011.

Perhaps add \listfiles to your preamble, compile again, and post the new .log file of that example as attachment.

What did you update?

Since the native packages for my Linux only provide TeXLive 2009 I installed a "vanilla" TexLive 2011 and use that. So all packages should be up to date.

Which package versions do you use now?

Thanks. I didn't remember that command O:-)

These are the versions I use:

Any more ideas what's going wrong here? Maybe an regression bug in cleveref?
