 I can tell you something else that works in English language documents that
 might work in Hebrew.  You can put a symbol in place of the equation number,
 which would help you if equation numbers are on the same side as you want
 the QED symbol.  To do this, use \tag*{\square} or \tag*{\blacksquare}  (as
 opposed to \tag*{\qedhere} ).

 Note 1: You can change the side that equation numbers are on.  Go to
 document-settings, go to the document class section, and put leqno or
 reqno into the custom text box.

 Note 2: You do not need the Theorems (AMS) module for this to work, but you
 do need the AMS math package loaded.  To ensure this, go to document -
 settings, go to the math options section, **untick** Use AMS math
 package automatically, and **tick** Use AMS math package.

 Hi Everybody,

 I many mathematics texts, proofs are ended with a \square or \blacksquare
 symbol.
 Usually, the square appears at the same line as the last line of text or
 last equation, aligned to the far right; i.e., even though the line ends in
 the left or the middle of the page, the square is always aligned to the
 right.
 Obviously, adding spaces until the end of the line is reached is not a
 feasible solution. Starting a new right-aligned paragraph containing only
 the square is not a solution either, because the square should be in the
 same line as the text.
 Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

 Thank you,

Funny that I didn't know of that option. It works great, thanks!

I still have a problem with proofs that end with a displayed formula,
though. The formula is centered, and I want the square to be in the same
line as the formula, but aligned to the right. Is that possible?

Also, how do I create a keyboard shortcut to insert the horizontal space of
the right type automatically, perhaps even with the square automatically
added?

Thanks,

Re: \square aligned to the right

[Jim Oldfield]

Don't manually format your proof, but instead put it into a proof environment.


1. Add the theorems (AMS) module to your document: from the menu choose 
document->settings, and on the left hand side choose "modules".  Then in the 
list double click on "Theorems (AMS)".  Of course you already need to do this 
to 
put theorems, definitions etc into your document.

2. Now select your proof, then in the layout dropdown (near the top left of the 
screen, saying "standard" by default) choose proof. 

Now your proof will automatically be captioned with "Proof." in italics, and 
end 
with a \square.

Sadly the square doesn't appear if the last line is an equation.  If it's a 
single line, then add the command \qedhere at the end of the equation.  If it's 
a multiline equation, see this message:

Re: \square aligned to the right

[Barak Shoshany]

Thanks. That module seems to be very useful, and the \tag* code works
perfectly in English articles.

However, the specific article I'm writing is in Hebrew, and the Theorems
(AMS) module does not seem to work in Hebrew language articles. Isn't there
any way to insert the right-aligned (in Hebrew it's actually
left-aligned...) square in the same line as the last equation without using
the Theorems (AMS) module?
