Indeed it <em>does</em> supply such -things, but it makes a serious mess of spacing. In the system: -<blockquote> -<pre> -\begin{eqnarray} - a & = & b + c \\ - x & = & y - z -\end{eqnarray} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -the spacing around the “=” signs is <em>not</em> that defined in the -metrics for the font from which the glyph comes — it’s -<code>\</code><code>arraycolsep</code>, which may be set to some very odd value for reasons -associated with real arrays elsewhere in the document. -<p/>The user is far better served by the AMSLaTeX bundle, which -provides an <code>align</code> environment, which is designed with -the needs of mathematicians in mind (as opposed to the convenience of -LaTeX programmers). For this simple case (align is capable of far -greater things), code as: -<blockquote> -<pre> -\begin{align} - a & = b + c \\ - x & = y - z -\end{align} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>AMSLaTeX</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex.zip">macros/latex/required/amslatex</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=eqnarray">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=eqnarray</a> -</body> |
