Re: Option for displaying equation labels less obstrusively?
Sorry I was hopeful but I never use a numbered equation so I was just guessing. The module is handy in other places.

Insets cannot be used inside LyX equations sadly. On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 2:31 AM John Kane wrote: > Try the ShortInsetNames module.

Re: Option for displaying equation labels less obstrusively?
Try the ShortInsetNames module. I have never used it with equations but it works well with Chapter and Section names, tables and figures. Insert the Short label from Custom Inserts and then insert the label. Repeat procedure with Short Ref + label to have a short label in the text or wherever Thanks Andrew.
