General ⇒ Add captions to numbered equations

[Goldfinger820]

sorry -me again!

anyone know any smart and relatively pain-free ways to give numbered equations their own caption?


cheers!

Probably this is the easiest and fastest way:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:LABEL}
.....
\end{equation}

and your body text you refer to it through \ref{eq:LABEL}.

Cheers.

this won't give the equation it's own in-text caption though will it?

One possibility: define a new command, something like this

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\capequation}[1]{\begin{center} #1 \end{center}}

And use it in the following way:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
...your equation...
\end{equation}
\capequation{your desired caption}
