A colleague has given me a TeX problem that I cannot solve. Within AMS-TeX, he would like a display with three aligned, tagged equations preceeded by a left brace encompassing all three equations. The \cases command will not work, since ti does not allow labeling on multiple lines; \align won't work, because it won't permit any character to preceed the align; \aligned won't work because it won't allow tagging of multiple lines. I suggested inserting tags by hand in an \aligned, using \hfill to push the tag to the right margin (he is using TagsOnRight). To my surprise this also does not work (the \hfill is ignored). The desired effect is what the following two samples (which don't work) "should" generate: $$ \left\{ \align a &= b\tag1\\ c &= d\tag2\\ e &= f\tag3 \endalign \right. $$ $$ \left\{ \aligned a &= b\hfill(1)\\ c &= d\hfill(2)\\ e &= f\hfill(3) \endaligned \right. $$ Any suggestions/explanations would be appreciated! Thanks. --Walter _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter Carlip **** c3ar@finite.chi.il.us **** (the "3" is invisible) **** c3ar%finite.chi.il.us@gargoyle.uchicago.edu **** _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Walter Carlip **** c3ar@finite.chi.il.us **** (the "3" is invisible) **** c3ar%finite.chi.il.us@gargoyle.uchicago.edu **** _____________________________________________________________________________
