All,
I have:
\placeformula[-]
\startformula
\startalign[m=2]
3-2x&<-1 & 3-2x&>1\\
-2x&<-4 & -2x&>-2\\
x&>2 & x&<1
\stopalign
\stopformula
And it works. However, I want to sqeeze the word "or" between the
inequalities on the first row so that it reads:
3 - 2x < -1 or 3 - 2x > 1
How can I do this?
I am not sure what m and n are meant to do with this code. Hans said
n=n_of_columns and m=n_of_pairs, but I am not sure what these mean as
relates to my problem above.
Ideas?

This is how I would do this, \startformula \startalign[n=5,align={right,left,middle,right,left}] 3 - 2x & < -1 & \quad \text{or} \quad & 3-2x & > 1 \\ -2x < & -4 & \text{or} & -2x &> -2 \\ \stopalign \stopformula -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Look at the example in the source for using \NC \NC \NR instead of & .. \\. That gives you more flexibility in using labels and numbering for for specific equations. > \placeformula[eq:twosolve] > \startformula > \startalign[m=3] > 3-2x&>-1 &&\qor& 3-2x&<1\\ > -2x&>-4 &&& -2x&<-2\\ > x&<2 &&& x&>1 > \stopalign > \stopformula > > > On Jan 20, 2006, at 10:07 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote: > >> <--- On Jan 20, David Arnold wrote ---> >> >>> All, >>> >>> I have: >>> >>> \placeformula[-] >>> \startformula >>> \startalign[m=2] >>> 3-2x&<-1 & 3-2x&>1\\ >>> -2x&<-4 & -2x&>-2\\ >>> x&>2 & x&<1 >>> \stopalign >>> \stopformula >>> >>> And it works.
