AI Thread Summary
In LaTeX, to create a multi-line equation with an opening bracket on one line and a closing bracket on another, you can use periods after the braces to indicate a "false" start or end. The correct syntax involves the use of the \begin{equation} and \begin{split} environments. An example provided shows how to format the equation, ensuring that the opening bracket appears at the beginning of one line and the closing bracket at the start of the next line, effectively maintaining the structure of the equation across multiple lines. This method has been confirmed to work successfully.

You use periods after braces to indicate a "false" starting or ending. You would do something like this:
Code:
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
x =& \left( here is some equation \right. \\
  & \left. here is the rest \right)
\end{split}
\end{equation}

It does work. Thank you very much minger.
