Text Formatting ⇒ (5) on top of =

[Srcee]

How to write (5) on top of = ?
The '(5)' should not be left of the '=' (like $=_{(5)}$), but it should be right on top of it.

You can use stackrel.

Code: Select all

\stackrel{(5)}{=}

Biggest tnx, it solved my problem

And what to do if I want the '(5)' to be under the '=' ?

And what to do if I want the '(5)' to be under the '=' ?

Actually that's not the topic of this thread. But since we are here.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{mathtools}   % loads »amsmath«

\begin{document}
  \[
    a\underset{(5)}{=} b
  \]
\end{document}

The amsmath package also provides \overset as replacement for the \stackrel command.
