Hi, I've been using org-mode very successfully to output Latex, and
have used successfully Latex math modes like "equation" to number
equations and reference them:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq-myeq}
a = 1
\end{equation}
We have defined something in (\ref{eq-myeq}).
In HTML output, however, the equation isn't numbered and this
reference is rendered as anchored links that don't exist in the file.
I realize that there's some debate in MathJax to add this
functionality, but I write today specifically to ask what workarounds
people use to get equation numbering and referencing in HTML output,
as a stopgap solution?
- The org-mode method of embedding and linking to *images* works great
for Latex output and ok for HTML output (where figures aren't
numbered, and references to them use their caption instead of a
number---which is passable), but I can't find a way to use this with
equations.
- I've also tried to use local search links, e.g., [[-eq-myeq]] but
this doesn't seem to work ("No match - create this as a new
heading?").
So is there a simple workaround to get numbered equations and
references in HTML that people currently use while a robust solution
is being worked on?
Thanks for your help!
Ahmed

Apologies, I discovered one stopgap solution already:
# <<eq-myeq>>
\begin{equation}
\label{eq-myeq}
a = 1
\end{equation}
We have defined something in (\ref{eq-myeq}), and this link will look
fine in both Latex and HTML output. This just requires me to ensure
that the anchor and the Latex label are the same. (Also, a secondary
drawback: usually I use \eqref so that the output eventual PDF after
Latex output will link "(1)" and not just the 1 in "(1)".)
Improvements to this method are welcome. Thanks,
Ahmed

Thanks for sharing this solution!
