the following example shows space missing after the inequality sign:

If you look carefully, you will notice that i and j are also not in math mode. This is because \startcases has two variants, with \NC ... \NC the second column is in text mode. So you can write \NC i, \NC if $i = j$ \NR The second variant is \NC ... \MC (MC => Math Column) in which the second column is in math mode. So you can write \NC i, \MC \text{if } i = j \NR You can mix between the two in differnt lines of cases environment. See My Way on \startalign for all different options with cases. Aditya
