Template:Equation

${1}$

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

This template gives an equation passed in as numbered parameter {{{1}}} a number {{{2}}}, which is displayed in the far right column. This also creates an anchor (#equation-{{{2}}}), which can be adjusted with the id parameter.

Usage

{{Equation|1=e = m c^2|2=1}}
{{Equation|1=a^2 + b^2 = c^2|2=2}}
{{Equation|1=X(t) = V_0 t + A t^2|2=3}}

results in:

$e=mc^{2}$ (1)

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ (2)

$X(t)=V_{0}t+At^{2}$ (3)

Note: Wikisyntax (e.g. formatting templates like {{sub}}) doesn't work in this template, use LaTeX syntax instead.

Note: When converting from a plain <math> tag to this template, you will need to replace the pipe symbol | with {{!}} and }} with } }.

TemplateData for Equation

This template generates an equation (passed in LaTeX) with a number to the right. It also generates an anchor so that the equation can be linked to from other parts of the page.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Equation (LaTeX)	`1`	See Bharatpedia:LaTeX for instructions if unfamiliar. Example e^{iz} = \cos(z) + i \sin(z)	String	required
Equation number	`2`	The number of the equation, also used to generate the anchor	String	suggested
Anchor id	`id`	The anchor id. If you set this to "my-eqn" (no quotes), the link [[#my-eqn\|see my equation]] will take you to the equation. Default Defaults to "equation-" + the equation number, if that is specified.	String	optional
