Math & Science ⇒ Cross referencing to eqnarray

[yotama9]

Hi.

Is there a way to cross reference to eqnarray as a normal equation? In mt thesis it is numbered as one of the equation but when I cross refer to it I get a warning.

I should note that I'm using cleverref.

Thanks.

Do you want to reference the entire array, or just one equation in it? If you want to reference the entire array you need to use the subequations package

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\begin{subequations}\label{sub:1}
\begin{align}
a+b&=c\label{sub:2}\\
d+e&=f\label{sub:3}
\end{align}
\end{subequations}

\ref{sub:1} -- \ref{sub:2}  -- \ref{sub:3}

\end{document}

P.S. You should use the align environment rather than eqnarray as it has more consistent spacings.

I'm confused.

Intuitively I will say your are referring to each equation by it's own.

In page 18 of the manual of cleveref, one finds the following warning:

cleveref will not work properly with the standard LaTeX eqnarray en-
vironment. There is no intention to x this. The eqnarray environment
is poorly implemented, making it dicult to get it to work properly with
cleveref. You're better o using the amsmath replacements in any case,
such as gather, align, multline and split, which do work properly with
cleveref. (See http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-4/madsen/)

You should avoid the eqnarray environment.

Hi yotama9,

I am now also slightly confused. Do you understand what I posted? Does it do what you want? I wasn't exactly sure what you wanted from reading your first post so guessed a little bit.

Perhaps an example that shows the problem may help.

Hi.

I just stopped using eqnarray. I don't remember what I did instead.

And now you are trying to tell us that you are not able to reconstruct the situation by looking at the concerned source code. Or what is this all about? Once more very confusing.


Best regards

I just don't want to leave the tree open.

I am thankful for the help and I want that in the future, if somebody search the thread for a similar problem he will know if the solution was helpful or not.
