To incorporate an equation array within an enumerated list in LaTeX without encountering errors, it's essential to manage the structure correctly. The issue arises because the `align` environment can disrupt the enumeration. A recommended approach is to use centering tags for the equation instead of placing it directly in the `enumerate` environment. This method allows for proper spacing and centering of the equation, preventing clutter and maintaining the integrity of the list. Testing in a LaTeX document confirms that using centering commands effectively resolves the problem while keeping the enumeration intact.

So I have a list like

\begin{enumerate}

\item asdfasdfasdf

\item asdfasdfasdf

\item \begin{align} equation here \end{align}

\end{enumerate}

I want to put an equation array to center and give some space around the equation, otherwise it looks all cluttered. I keep getting errors saying that the enumerate is being ended by the end of the equation array.

Is there a different way to put an equation array inside an enumerated one? Should I just use some centering tags for the equation instead?

Works for me. I tested this in a LaTeX document and right here:

<br /> \begin{enumerate}<br /> \item asdfasdfasdf<br /> \item asdfasdfasdf<br /> \item \begin{align} E=mc^2 \end{align}<br /> \end{enumerate}<br />
