I'd like to number multiline equations and reference them, à la MathJax's Align and Gather environments. Can this be accomplished? If so, how?

8 In the align environment, I use \tag to number. \label is also supported by MathJax. \ref can be used to reference a line using \label and \tag.
For example: $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\pi x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x=1\label{a}\tag{1} $$ and reference it here: $\ref{a}$
- $\begingroup$ Thank you. Why is it that when I use \label in the align environment, the equations don't display but rather the underlying mathjax code? $\endgroup$Evan Aad– Evan Aad2014-04-08 21:32:14 +00:00Commented Apr 8, 2014 at 21:32

- $\begingroup$ In the displayed equation you use \tag{1}. To refer to it you use \ref{a}. How does this work? I am not able to refer to \tagged equations. Am I missing the relevant part of MathJaX code? $\endgroup$wdacda– wdacda2020-10-05 05:45:30 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 5:45
- $\begingroup$ @wdacda: The
\label{a}is what is referenced by the\ref{a}which is displayed as $\ref{a}$. $\endgroup$2020-10-05 06:13:34 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 6:13 - $\begingroup$ @robjohn I get it now! With \tag{1} we control what will show as the "name" of the equation. We need the label to use it in \ref. Wonderful! I was quite slow. But better ever, then never. I prefer using \eqref, it is more like in math texts. Thank you! $\endgroup$wdacda– wdacda2020-10-05 07:01:06 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 7:01

In order to see the tags during edit, the following trick can be used.
$$ \begin{aligned} a & = b & (1) \\ c & = d & (2) \end{aligned} $$
But now the equations cannot be hyperlinked to.
