mathenv

Visit CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/bosisio/ Documentation Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante

The ``MultiLine'' environment is used for long formulas that don't fit on a single line, but no ``&'' mark is needed, since all lines but the first are authomatically indented by a predefined amount of space. The ``System'' environment is for grouping a set of equations with one number and with an enclosing left brace. These two environments also have an optional argument used as a label. All the above environments have a *-form, which does not generate a number. (1 May 1998)
