amsmath: How can I use the equation numbering and label manually and anywhere?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}







3















I want to use the accustomed equation numbering and label manually and anywhere; for example in an array.



With the command
newcommand{tagx}[1]{refstepcounter{equation}(theequation)label{#1}}

can I create custom tags tagx or tagx[eq:bar] and reference them as usual eqref{eq:bar}.



But in a tag with an own figure
newcommandmytag[2]{begingroup
renewcommand{theequation}{#2}% ändern
(theequation)label{#1} % ausschreiben
endgroup
}


still works mytag[eq:bar1]{***}, but not the referencing eqref{eq:bar1}.



What can I do?

  • why are you using theequation in mytag ? also shouldn't the argument to tagx be mandatory not optional? If you omit the argument then you will execute label{} which doesn't really work (and will give errors if done more than once)

  • @DavidCarlisle I thought it would be better to keep the label name optional. So tagx gives (1.2) e.g. And tagx[eq:foo] gives (1.2) and sets label{eq:foo}. I do not think I have to label all tagx'es there ever will be.

  • in that case you would only want to do the label in the case the argument was provided, as it is above if you don't supply the option you end up with label{} which is an error.

    – David Carlisle
    May 19 at 17:22













  • @DavidCarlisle I changed your solution to % tagx[<label, optional>] % normal tag inline newcommand{tagx}[1]{refstepcounter{equation}(theequation)label{#1}} That is wrong?

    • Ah, I see: you put both commands together.

    • @ egreg Is it possible, to make the label-name ('eq:bar1' e.g.) an optional argument too?

    Your mytag command doesn't set @currentlabel.

    I'm not sure why the “label” argument is optional: you need it, don't you?
