+# se2thesis test for resq referencing
+
+Testing for referencing in a $\LaTeX$ document
+with the [se2thesis](https://ctan.org/pkg/se2thesis) class to a `resq` environment.
+The [documentation of the class](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/se2thesis/se2thesis.pdf) does recommend the command `\cref`,
+but that does not work with `resq`.
