\item \verb|\begin{revcomment}...\end{revcomment}| Increments the comment counter by one and prints the contents of the environment with formatting. Automatically assigns a label for cross-referencing using the reviewer number and comment number. See \cref{resp:1.1}
\item \verb|\begin{response}...\end{response}| Prints the contents of the environment formatted as a response to the previous \verb|revcomment| item.

\PHNote{Here is an example of an author note.}
Comments created using the \verb|revcomment| environment are automatically given the label with the format \verb|\label[response]{resp:x.y}|, where x is the reviewer number and y is the comment number. You can refer to these labels using the \verb|\ref| or \verb|\cref| commands.
This class definition pre-configures the \verb|cleveref| package with names for the \verb|response| label type.
For example, \verb|\cref{resp:3.2}| will output ``\cref{resp:3.2}''. To change the format of this output, use the commands provided in \verb|cleveref| to format labels with \verb|<type> = response|.
Since the \texttt{hyperref} package is also included, the references to the other responses will automatically be hyperlinked in the pdf.
