I can't seem to get this simple LaTeX code, embedded in a Haskell comment, to render properly when run through Haddock with HTML target:
\[
\begin{eqnarray}
y &=& f(x) \\
z &=& g(y)
\end{eqnarray}
\]
When I run the Haskell code containing the above comment through Haddock I see this in my browser:
[ begin{eqnarray} y &=& f(x) z &=& g(y)
end{eqnarray} ]
If I get rid of the double backslash at the end of the third line then both equations render properly, but they appear one after the other on the same line.
Does anyone know the correct way to separate lines of a eqnarray when writing LaTeX intended for Haddock processing?

I'm having issues turning this word equation into a LaTex equation. It's coming out looking dodgy, please help!
I added a screen shot of the equation I want, and what I end up getting when I copy and paste into LaTex:
WORD:
LATEX CODE:
\mathrm{=\ }\mathrm{C}_\mathrm{0}\mathrm{[1-}6(Dt)1/2aπ2-3Dta2] + 12(Dt)1/2an = 1∞exp(na(Dt)1/2)
and therefore nothing comes out and LaTex doesn't let me run it.
This is absolutely not a proper LaTeX equation code. I don't know what you know about LaTeX, but you cannot just copy and paste from Word or any software to you LaTex editor. Plus, you need to provide your full code for anyone being able to help you.
Anyway, running this MWE should work :
\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, twoside]{report}
% ===== PACKAGES DECLARATION =====
\usepackage{mathtools} % Replaces amsmaths + more features
\usepackage{amsfonts} % Maths fonts package
% ===== DOCUMENT BODY =====
\begin{document}
\begin{equation} % optional : use the "equation*" environment to remove equation number
% optional : use traditional math font by removing the \mathrm{} command
\mathrm{X = C_0 \left[ 1 - \frac{6(Dt)^{1/2}}{a \pi^2} - \frac{3Dt}{a^2}\right] + \frac{12(Dt)^{1/2}}{a} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp\left(\frac{na}{(Dt)^{1/2}} \right)}
% optional : remove auto-sized brackets by removing the \left and \right commands
\end{equation}
\end{document}
As written in the code, you may want to remove the equation number and the big auto-sized brackets (that are more readable in my opinion). Just remove the corresponding commands. Also, you should consider using the "normal" math font and not the roman one that is clearly different from the text and helps the reader to separate equations from inline small expressions you could insert in your document.
One first sketch:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[
C_0\left[1-\frac{6(Dt)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{a\pi^2}-\frac{3Dt}{a^2}\right]+%
\frac{12(Dt)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{a}\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}%
\exp\left(\frac{na}{(Dt)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\right)
\]
\end{document}
No packages required. The output:
Than you can tune the math fonts and anything else.
I am trying to convert Latex scripts to restructured text (rST) via Pandoc.
This works well, except for labelled equations.
Is there some configuration/filter for Pandoc which can correctly format equation labels?
For example, the source Latex
\section{Test section}
Some test equation
\begin{equation}
\label{test_eqn}
a = 100
\end{equation}
And then we reference \ref{test_eqn}.
yields
Test section
============
Some test equation
.. math::
\label{test_eqn}
a = 100
And then we reference `[test_eqn]`_.
.. _[test_eqn]: #test_eqn
but the desired output is
Test section
============
Some test equation
.. math::
:label: test_eqn
a = 100
And then we reference :eq:`test_eqn`.
How to typeset the following numbered mathematical formula:
Use amsmath's cases environment:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\Delta(x) = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if $x > 0$} \\
-1 & \text{if $x < 0$} \\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]
\end{document}
Here is one way to do it:
$
\Delta(x)=
\left\{
\begin{matrix}
1 & \mathrm{if}~x>0 \\
-1 & \mathrm{if}~x<0 \\
0 & \mathrm{otherwise}
\end{matrix}
\right.
$
Which produces the equation you wanted like this:
The example LaTeX equation
This type of equation has a few key tricks in it:
The left bracket has to be declared as \{ in order for LaTeX to
know to display it since it is a special character
Also, the left brace has to be resized to match however many rows you include in your equation, which is done by the \left command preceding it. This can also be done for (, [, etc.
Since you have a \left command, it has to be accompanied by a \right}, but you don't want to display the right brace, so the \right. ends the section without displaying the right brace.
The \mathrm command turns the text inside it back to normal text (removing the math mode temporarily) so that your "if" and "otherwise" aren't italicized.
The ~ just adds a little space so that your "if" doesn't collide with the x > 0, which often happens when using mathrm
Alternatively, you can check out this post for other ways to write piecewise functions in LaTeX. I hope this helps.
I am creating a document in LateX and the following multivalued function has been giving me trouble for a while.
The Latex code for the above as I gave is
$\[delta \tau_{i,j}^{k}$ = $\left\{$
\begin{array}{l l}
\frac{1}{L_{k}} & \quad \mbox{if ant k travels on edge \textit{i,j}} \\
0 & \quad \mbox{otherwise}
\end{array} \right. \]
While compiling it gives me the following error
! LaTeX Error: Bad math environment delimiter.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.52 $\[
delta \tau_{i,j}^{k}$ = $\left\{$
?
Any help on fixing this error would be much appreciated.
aschepler is right--it's the [ inside the $.
You may also want to consider the cases environment, which I think is easier for this sort of thing. For you example, you'd have:
\[
\Delta\tau_{i,j}^k=
\begin{cases}
1/L_k & \text{if ant $k$ travels along edge $i,j$} \\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]
You can't use both $ $ and \[ \] like that. $ is for in-line equations (fit within a paragraph of text), so you should probably use just \[ \] around your equation and remove all the $s.
Well, it seems simple enough, but I can't find a way to add a caption to an equation.
The caption is needed to explain the variables used in the equation, so some kind of table-like structure to keep it all aligned and pretty would be great.
The \caption command is restricted to floats: you will need to place the equation in a figure or table environment (or a new kind of floating environment). For example:
\begin{figure}
\[ E = m c^2 \]
\caption{A famous equation}
\end{figure}
The point of floats is that you let LaTeX determine their placement. If you want to equation to appear in a fixed position, don't use a float. The \captionof command of the caption package can be used to place a caption outside of a floating environment. It is used like this:
\[ E = m c^2 \]
\captionof{figure}{A famous equation}
This will also produce an entry for the \listoffigures, if your document has one.
To align parts of an equation, take a look at the eqnarray environment, or some of the environments of the amsmath package: align, gather, multiline,...
You may want to look at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float/ which allows you to define new floats using \newfloat
I say this because captions are usually applied to floats.
Straight ahead equations (those written with $ ... $, $$ ... $$, begin{equation}...) are in-line objects that do not support \caption.
This can be done using the following snippet just before \begin{document}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{aliascnt}
\newaliascnt{eqfloat}{equation}
\newfloat{eqfloat}{h}{eqflts}
\floatname{eqfloat}{Equation}
\newcommand*{\ORGeqfloat}{}
\let\ORGeqfloat\eqfloat
\def\eqfloat{%
\let\ORIGINALcaption\caption
\def\caption{%
\addtocounter{equation}{-1}%
\ORIGINALcaption
}%
\ORGeqfloat
}
and when adding an equation use something like
\begin{eqfloat}
\begin{equation}
f( x ) = ax + b
\label{eq:linear}
\end{equation}
\caption{Caption goes here}
\end{eqfloat}
As in this forum post by Gonzalo Medina, a third way may be:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionType{equ}[][]
%\captionsetup[equ]{labelformat=empty}
\begin{document}
Some text
\begin{equ}[!ht]
\begin{equation}
a=b+c
\end{equation}
\caption{Caption of the equation}
\end{equ}
Some other text
\end{document}
More details of the commands used from package caption: here.
