The discussion focuses on aligning text to the left using the LaTeX aligned environment. Users express challenges with the default behavior of the align command, which typically results in indented or centered text. The solution involves using the \noindent command in conjunction with the aligned environment, which allows for left alignment without indentation while maintaining the alignment of equal signs. The aligned environment is recommended for subformulas within math mode to achieve the desired formatting.
PREREQUISITESLaTeX users, mathematicians, educators, and anyone involved in typesetting mathematical documents who seeks to improve text alignment and formatting techniques.
\noindentIndented and aligned left are not mutually exclusive. Are you talking about LaTeX in MHB or about compiling complete files using your LaTeX installation? Can you explain exactly what behavior you want? What is the purpose of your example?bwpbruce said:If I use the align command, my text is usually either indented or centered by default. What do I need to do in order for my text to align left. I prefer if someone demonstrate how to do it.
Ackbach said:I wouldn't put the word "Subtract" inside the align environment. It's text, and there doesn't seem to be a reason to put it inside the math environment. If you want to force it not to indent, you can use thecommand.Code:\noindent
