Hi, Is this what you want to achieve: %%%%%% begin \starttext From Aditya's \type{mathalign.pdf}, where he defines in fact a \type{\definemathalignment[flalign]}, (but I prefer \type{FLalign]…) one has \definemathalignment[FLalign] [m=2, distance=5em plus 1 fil] %We need to set a default value for m Curiouslearn' input was: \startformula \startalign \NC\text{\bf Example: } \frac{d(4x^{2})}{dx} = 4 \frac{dx^{2}}{dx} = 4 (2x) = 8x.\NC{ }\NR \stopalign \stopformula \startformula \startFLalign %% here you can add [m=2] or [m=3] if you need more columns \NC\text{\bf Example: } \frac{d(4x^{2})}{dx} = 4 \frac{dx^{2}}{dx} = 4 (2x) = 8x.\NC \NC \NR %% note twice \NC \stopFLalign \stopformula \stoptext %%%%%% end Best regards: OK On 30 nov. 2009, at 00:45, Curiouslearn wrote:
Hi, Can someone please help with the alignment of the equation so that it starts at left. I tried flushleft and other options (such as without \NC \NR, with align=left etc.). None of them result in the equation starting at the left margin. The equation is either placed in the middle or is aligned to the right. I want it to start at the left.
Thanks.
