[Solved] alignl

When I use alignl, all parts of the formula align left, especially when the denominator is shorter than the numerator. What can I do to avoid it?
alignl x_1,2={2dq_1+-sqrt{4d^2 q^2_1-4(q_1-q_2)cdot q_1 d^2} }over {2(q_1-q_2)}

Remove the alignl parameter? Why do you need it?

When I do more than one formula in a pile using newline parameter, they are badly followed because they are centered. That's why I need that they are aligned left. So, any solution?

Can you post an example of such pile?

Yes, it's an odd design.
The only thing you can do is left-align the formula as a whole, then center-align the parts that need it, or break up the formula into separate parts, so the parts can be left-aligned by Writer, not by Math.
Compare these two:
- alignl
x = { A over { 4 times 3 times 2 times 1 } }
newline
y = { B over { 3 times 2 times 1 } }
and
- alignl
x = { alignc A over { 4 times 3 times 2 times 1 } }
newline
y = { alignc B over { 3 times 2 times 1 } }

That's exactly what I meant. Thanks for the idea!

You want to have that layout I guess:
Code: Select all
alignl
x_1,2={2dq_1+-sqrt{4d^2 q^2_1-4(q_1-q_2)cdot q_1 d^2} }over {alignc 2(q_1-q_2)}
newline alignl
x = { alignc A over { 4 times 3 times 2 times 1 } }
