Implementation method for right-aligning equation numbers?

[JPZ4-5]

When using pandoc-tex-numbering to generate docx files, it is found that equation numbers cannot be right-aligned through regular Word operations (i.e., the effect of automatically right-aligning after manually entering #(1) and pressing enter). I would like to confirm the following questions:

1. Does this filter support directly generating right-aligned equation numbers? If so, is there a specific .yaml configuration required?
2. If it relies on style control, can the paragraph style for equations be set through --reference-doc to achieve this? Specifically, which style properties in reference.docx need to be adjusted?
3. If it is currently not possible, is there a plan to support this feature?
4. Or should I just manually set the font style used for formulas in the generated document? I haven't figured out how to set it up currently; it seems that there is some setting in the generated equation that is preventing this.

Thanks for your time! I am willing to provide more information if needed.

Yes, currently the filter does not support right-aligned numbering and there is a plan to support it, but it may take a bit longer.

Some comments in terms of development for people interested in this: Pandoc itself supports limited customization on docx's equation function. At present, we implement the spacing between numbers and equations by a native LaTeX command \quad, which is supported by pandoc. As for right-aligned numbering, no native or simple solutions are available for now. A temporal solution is to manually embed openxml codes to the output file, just as how our custom list-of-figures/tables are implemented. The difficulty arises from the current supports of multi-line equations: how to properly embed openxml codes (tables, per se) while keeping all the equation alignment logic user defined in their LaTeX codes.

The said, I plan to solve this (a highly customizable equation formatting) in the next major release. Util then, I'll keep this issue open and I welcome anyone who have interests in this to join in the discussion on the topic or, of course, send pull requests to me.

Tips here: oxml.py encapsulated some convenient utils to do this and please try not to introduce more 3rd party packages if possible (to keep the filter easy-to-install).
