Equation numbering and cross reference?

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.

I've put equations inside a text window. Resize the text window next to just surround the equation (I haven't found a way to automate this). Then you use the far right inspector item to set the layout to equation. iBook Author will then automatically create the number which can be linked as it does with figures and other items.

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…

Very good idea. I used the form and gave feedback. Writing a physics related book. NA dit i simpossible w/o alignment and labelling of equations. And matrix and vector notation and so on...

SO have to use LaTeX so far...

Cheers,
