G'day, mate. I'm writing my paper, but I don't know how to label my equations.
I typed \label{(1.1)}(1.2,1.3,…etc.) after my equation, but it always doesn't work! I tried \ref{} as well, it doesn’t work neither.
Maybe Pages doesn't support this syntax?
Hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

Apple Pages (and other Apple applications) support MathML and a subset of the latex syntax (not latex itself) for math using Blahtex. And it looks like \label is not supported. For more information see the documentation here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202501
\label{abc}makes no visible output but setsabcas an internal identifier so\ref{abc}will reference the equation. I doubt this does anything useful if you extract just an equation image in to another application, which is what Pages is doing I think (I don't have a mac)a = 2b eq.3Please show the typed output you want.\ref{}too, but it didn’t work. By the way, Pages is iWork application which is like Word in Windows system.\label{myequation}in the equation, and refer to it later with\ref{myequation}(numbering defeats that purpose entirely). If that doesn't work, you could try\tag{(1.1)}within the equation. If that doesn't work, you could take a manual approach\qquad{\rm(1.1)}.F=ma (1.1)orW=mg. (1.2). Each formula or equation has a number aligned to its right.
