Hi Otared,
Thanks for your explanation and the example you sent about \definemathsimplealign (I didn’t get immediately that « sesac » in the command \startmathfenced[sesac] means « cases » in reverse or mirrored… I guess this is a wise and humourous choice by Hans :-) ).
I guess so too :)
Regarding \startcases, it seems that it is still not possible to number each equation, but I may be overlooking something. I’ll try a few examples and will let you know, as well as Hans.
Hm, but a cases environment does not provide several formulas. This is just one formula:
\startformula |x|= \startcases \NC x \NC x>0\NR \NC 0 \NC x=0\NR \NC -x \NC x<0\NR \stopcases \stopformula
and as such should have (at most) one equation number, right?
However, some sub-disciplines like to number each case (for example, if you want to refer to one of them in the future).
Only Hans knows if it is (easily) doable to add the possibility to add numbers to each three lines.
In the old implementation, this was tricky (the equation without the equation number should be centered, and the equation number should be flush right). But I think that this should be possible with the new low-level box alignment macros. Aditya
