General ⇒ Trouble with the gather environment

[spiegboy]

when i use \ref{label} to link the equation in the 'gather' environment, it insteads give the label of the section where it is.
could you help? cheers

Did you use \label inside the gather environment? Here's a working example with correct reference to the equation 1 in section 2:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\section{One}
\section{Two}
\begin{gather}
  x = 0 \label{gat}
\end{gather}
See \eqref{gat} or (\ref{gat}).
\end{document}

Hi,

as you can see in the following example

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\setcounter{section}{11}%just to do a test
\section{Dummy section}
\begin{gather}\label{equ:test}
  A = B.
  x = y.
\end{gather}

As you can see in \ref{equ:test}...

\end{document}

that is not the standard situation. Can you please post a minimal working example showing this undesired behaviour?

Hi, stefan,

seriously, you make me hate myself.

thank you very much, finally i finished a journal paper and a first-year report of 100 pages within 1 month. you help me a lot.
thanks again. i wonder would it be possible for you to check my code to see whether i can make the whole report looks better.
