 For instance, the (standard) **url** package provides a `urlstyle` hook command. While you could override it---that is, redefine that command---, please note that this is what the resilient classes already do, so as to delegate the decision to a style conveniently called `urlstyle` too.[^other-sile-hooks]
 
 [^other-sile-hooks]: The same principle actually applies to page numbers, relying on the standard **folio** package. The latter provides a `foliostyle` hook, which the resilient styling system overrides with its own clever logic.
+Likewise, the `math:numberstyle` hook from the **math** package is also redefined, to rely on the `eqno` style for display math equation numbers (and actually, if it exist and is non-emppty, to the `eqno-⟨counter⟩` style specific to the counter in question, by default `equation`).
 
 In other terms, even for standard SILE packages, we may already have provided a style-aware version of their original customization hooks.
