Equation numbering and cross reference?

How is it possible to number equations? In the example reported on the ibooks author website:


http://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/


about Mathematical Expression the book clearly shows equations numbered and cross reference. Are they made by hand? I tried to insert them in a text cell with label but it won't anyway let me have a numbering style of the form (1.1) even if I try to add a new style so it seems it is either done by hand or with some version of ibook authors not released yet/pulled feature.

Numbering equations by hand, using LaTeX:


For example:

The \phantom{xxxxxxxxx} creates a space, {\color{red}(1.1)} the equation number.


But I really hope, there is a method to generate the equation numbers automatically.

There is no way to do it, I guess. Not directly, just some very dirty workarounds. The only thing we can do is just send feedback and tell eeryone we know who has this problem to do as well. This is the best way to tell them what we need:

They included LaTeX and I was sure there is no way they will so maybe there is hope…
