Re: why doesn't \numberwithin{equation}{section} work?
Thanks, that is useful!
I prefer keeping it organized in the preamble.

Alternatively, write in your preamble
\usepackage{amsmath}
\numberwithin{equation}{section}
so everything required is in one place.
AFAIK, LyX does not load amsmath with options, so the second
\usepackage{amsmath} included by the LyX-automatism will be silently
ignored. (If you get a "package already loaded with options ..." error,
my knowledge is wrong.)

Hi Paul,
Thanks a lot
That fixed it.
I learned something new today.
Best Regards, Erez

I've been using \numberwithin{equation}{section} in the preamble for
quite some time.
Every time I open a new template, it takes me some time until the PDF
output doesn't get jammed with a crash.
This must mean I don't really understand something.
When I remove \numberwithin{equation}{section} from the preamble, pdf
output works fine.
When I put it back in, Lyx pdf output crashes.

The \numberwithin macro is part of the AMS package, so if the AMS
package is not loaded, you get the aforementioned LaTeX error. The "...
automatically" setting (default) tells LyX to keep an eye out for things
in the body of the document that require AMS math, and load the AMS
package if and only if it finds any of them. The test document _body_
did not contain anything that triggered loading of AMS math. Either LyX
does not look for references to AMS macros in the preamble or it doesn't
recognize \numberwithin as one of them. This also sometimes happens
when someone uses an AMS macro in the body but puts it in ERT, rather
than having LyX insert it.

why doesn't \numberwithin{equation}{section} work?
Hi All,
I've been trying to figure this out for a long time. Maybe one of you can
help me?
I've been using \numberwithin{equation}{section} in the preamble for
quite some time.
Every time I open a new template, it takes me some time until the PDF output
doesn't get jammed with a crash.
This must mean I don't really understand something.
When I remove \numberwithin{equation}{section} from the preamble, pdf
output works fine.
When I put it back in, Lyx pdf output crashes.
My errors are the following:
error Undefined control sequence, with description
\numberwithin{equation}{section} % #section.#equation
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
second error: LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
with description:
\numberwithin{equation}{section} % #section.#equation
You're in trouble here. Try typing to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X to quit.
I'm attaching the lyx file. Please look at the preample.
Thanks a lot, Erez
