If we start a new ''amsmath'' environment then the equation numbering starts from counter=1 again. Start a new ''amsmath'' environment:
 
 
 
<amsmath>
 
\begin{equation}
 
b = \sum_{i=0}^{n}{2^i}
 
\end{equation}
 
\begin{equation}
 
a = \sum_{i=0}^{n}{2^i}
 
\end{equation}
 
\begin{eqnarray}
 
a &\lr& b\\
 
c &\rr& d\\
 
e &\ls& f\\
 
g &\rs& h
 
\end{eqnarray}
 
</amsmath>
 
 
 
as we see both envrionments start with 1.
 
 
 
'''Note: to refer to an equation we will have to use a wiki link ...'''
 
 
 
If we use math inline then we have the following possibilities:
 
 
 
* Best know attack: 2<sup>63</sup> by Wang et.al. using html: <pre><nowiki>2<sup>63</sup></nowiki></pre>
 
* Best know attack: <amsmath>\begin{displaymath}2^{63}\end{displaymath}</amsmath> by Wang et.al. using amsmath <pre><nowiki><amsmath>\begin{displaymath}2^{63}\end{displaymath}</amsmath></nowiki></pre>
 
* Best know attack: <math>2^{63}</math> by Wang et.al. using math <pre><nowiki><math>2^{63}</math></nowiki></pre>
 
 
 
 
 
I think the first case looks best regarding the inline alignment. So I would suggest to use html for powers.
 
 
 
=== About different skins ===
 
Every user can define his own skin. Nevertheless, it turnes out the the skin influences the alignment of inline amsmath environments. If we use the standard skin, namely MonoBook (default) then the alignment is pretty ok.
 
 
 
therefore, I suggest to keep this skin as default.
