Limit for Sub-equation Numbering

Post by akeinsley »

Hello all,

I'm putting together a paper where I end up using a lot of sub-equations. For the most part, I can list them out and reference them without any issues, but there is one section where I end up with 12 sub-equations labeled (16a)-(16l), but when I try to reference equation (16l) it pops up as (17). The labels are completely different between these two equations, yet it continues to do this.

Is there some sort of limit to the number of sub-equations that one can use in a given setting? And if so, how do I change that limit?

Thanks!

I don't think it's because of a limit, since the reference goes right to 17. Perhaps show a (compilable) reduced copy of your code with this equation. Remove or replace with dummy text, if you don't like to show the real content. We could check the code example if there's anything wrong and fix it.
