My mWE is (following this answer)--
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[capitalise,nameinlink,noabbrev]{cleveref}
\creflabelformat{equation}{#2#1#3}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:1}
x = y
\end{equation}
\cref{eq:1}
\end{document}
and output is --
This is fine. But I would like to present my equation without parentheses both in the environment (label) and also while referring to keep it consistent. Something like --
x = y 1
Could some one point out the problem or give me a hint to work this out ? Additionally, (if asking this is allowed here), what is the preferred way in thesis?
Edit
By adding an additional line --
\crefrangelabelformat{equation}{#3#1#4 to #5#2#6}
does not make a difference.
