SUMMARY

To open and close brackets in a multi-line equation in LaTeX, utilize the \texttt{\textbackslash begin\{equation\}} and \texttt{\textbackslash begin\{split\}} environments. Use \texttt{\textbackslash left.} and \texttt{\textbackslash right)} to create brackets that span multiple lines. The syntax \texttt{x = \textbackslash left( here is some equation \textbackslash right.} and \texttt{\textbackslash left. here is the rest \textbackslash right)} effectively demonstrates this technique. This method is confirmed to work as intended.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax
  • Understanding of multi-line equations in LaTeX
  • Knowledge of the \texttt{equation} and \texttt{split} environments
  • Basic experience with mathematical typesetting
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced LaTeX environments for complex equations
  • Learn about the \texttt{align} environment for aligning equations
  • Research LaTeX packages that enhance mathematical typesetting
  • Practice creating multi-line equations with nested brackets
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, researchers, students, and anyone involved in typesetting complex equations using LaTeX.

Hello,
In a multi-line equation in latex, how to open a bracket at a line and end it at another line?

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.
