<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label reuseq</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Re-using an equation</h3>
<p/>To repeat an existing equation, one wants not only to have the same
mathematics in it, one also wants to re-use the original label it had.
The <i>amsmath</i> package comes to our help, here:
<blockquote>
<pre>
\usepackage{amsmath}
...
\begin{equation}
  a=b
  \label{eq1}
\end{equation}
...
Remember that
\begin{equation}
  a=b
  \tag{\ref{eq1}}
\end{equation}
</pre>
</blockquote><p>
Here, the second instance of a=b will be
typeset with a copy, made by the <code>\</code><code>tag</code> command, of the label of the
first instance.

<i>amsldoc</i>, in the distribution; it is also available on the web
