Hi! I'm facing this problem: I would like to write long equations (two or even
three lines are needed) in which (possibly) each line is center aligned in the
page and so that it is possible to box them all together. Moreover I really need
to have one reference number only (not one for each line). I

I don't know how to post an attachment here. I can post the Latex code. Is this

Yes, the attached works. I attach the LyX file from which I took the latex
