Document Classes ⇒ lineno package

[rotis]

Hi. I'm a true beginner in Latex, and I have a problem:

I'm trying to use the lineno-package to numerate the lines in my manuscript.
It does not work properly: The first 70 lines got a number, but after that it seems to me to be only random lines that get number. This problem only occurs in a part with a lot of equations.

Any hint how to solve the problem (I’m using WinEdt, and writing in an elsart-environment)??

[Ledurt]

Try to add the "displaymath" option to the lineno package.

[rotis]

no, that did not help. Actually, it made things worse. A lot of the text with formulas was removed in the tranformation to PDF.

This document should help:

I have the same problem. I have tried several options of the package but the number is not continuous. The line with equation is not counted.

What should I do?

[rotis]

I might have solved the problem. I use the \begin{linenomath} and \end{linenomath} before and after the equation commando. it did the work for me.

I'm trying to add line numbers to a document and have tried the previous suggestions. When I use \linenumbers prior to \begin{document}, it will print line numbers but randomly skip lines and paragraphs. At least I think it is random.

I have tried \begin{linenumbers} ... \end{linenumbers} within the document, but then I get the error, "missing \begin{document} ". At this point, even "undoing", i.e. ^Z to get my original document back will erase this error. Any other suggestions? Thanks for any help.

This problem only occurs in a part with a lot of equations.

Maybe this will help... (though it might be a solution to a different lineno problem) Take a look at the fix at:

To make a long story short(er), lineno is not very compatible with popular amsmath environments. So you need to patch them all to get them to automatically play nice with lineno. I tried to make this simple with the following (insert in your preamble):

It's not perfect, but IIRC, it's a big improvement.

Thanks! That did the trick - though I had to rename my file - otherwise I kept getting a "missing \begin{document}" error.

I don't quite understand the file renaming thing.

You may notice that some math environments receive two numbers. I haven't figured out a good way to solve that problem. In fact, I'm not quite sure it's possible while using lineno. It's a tradeoff. At least the line numbers in the rest of the text are still there.
