Maybe one of the more knowledgable users of LaTeX can enlighten me: Can the "LaTeX type" [1] of an (displayed) equation (or eqnarray) be reconstructed if only the following are given: - a count of "columns" of the "whole thing" - a count of "rows" of the "whole thing" - some information whether the whole thing or individual "rows" should be numbered If so, how would one determine that type? If not, what else is necessary? Andre' [1]: I mean the "wrapper" around the "real math" that (La)TeX needs, like \(...\), \[...\], \begin{eqnarray}...\end{eqnarray}, \begin{eqnarray*}...\end{eqnarray*} etc. -- André Pönitz .............................................
