This package is used to emend cross-referencing commands in LaTeX to produce some sort of \special commands; there are backends so far for the \special set defined for HyperTeX dvi processors, and for embedded pdfmark commands for processing by Acrobat Distiller. Included are: a) (backref) a package by David Carlisle to provide links back from bibliography to the main text; these are hypertext links after using hyperref. b) (nameref) a package to allow reference to the *names* of sections rather than their numbers. The only packages which I suspect will cause problems are those who play with bibliographical citations, including the following: achemso.sty aguplus.cls aguplus.sty chapterbib.sty drftcite.sty natbib.sty prabib.sty I will try to make these work in due course.
