General ⇒ Unable to "insert label"

[multipole]

I use TeXnicCenter 1.0 stable rc1

Trivial question:
I want to insert label in equation. Of course I can write it manually and it works but I suppose that should be possible with right click on equation in "Navigator" window, and choosing "insert label" from context menu.

But for some reason it is not possible - right click on some equation gives context menu with grayed "insert label", "insert reference" and "insert reference to page", so they are not clickable at all!

On the other side - right click on Headers (in Navigator) works fine!

I am obviously missing something.

Hi,

perhaps try TeXnicCenter 2.0 Alpha 4, it can be installed alongside with 1.0.

The "insert label" command is used to insert an alrady specified label of that item. For example, if you have an equation defined as

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}\label{eq:simple}
a=b
\end{equation}

Then, upon clicking on "insert label", TeXnicCenter (TXC) will insert eq:simple and, if you click "insert reference", TXC will write \eqref{eq:simple}.

So, if you want to add a label to an equation, you should include the \label statement manually (unless another way to do that exists).
