Hi
I am not sure I am making something wrong but I couldn't make those two work. On page 11 of the breqn manual, I read that for := I need to use \coloneq. I am using the latest TexShop complete, but this is not working for me:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{breqn}
\begin{document}
\begin{dmath}\label{(1)}
x \coloneq y
\end{dmath}
\end{document}
The above doesn't compile. I tried different orderings for the loading of the packages, or commenting some of them, but didn't succeed.
If however instead of \coloneq in the above I use \texttt{$\; \coloneqq \;$}, or use \texttt{$\; := \;$}, then in both cases I get the display I am looking for. So: not \coloneq but \coloneqq, and enclosing it within \texttt{$ $}. I tried first enclosing with $$ because I noticed that, replacing dmath by equation, the lines above, with \coloneqq instead of \coloneq, compile fine and display as := . But still, using dmath, $$ was not enough to have the compilation run without interruption, it required \texttt around - or that is what I found after experimentation, there are probably simpler things to do.
My questions then: is it \coloneq or \coloneqq? And how do you make it work directly, without having to enclose it within \texttt{$ $} or things like that? Thanks.
PS after post: I now see that using \hiderel{:=} instead of \coloneqq also works.
