Basic Alignment

Two modes of input

  • Latex style
\startformula \startalign
 v &= u + at \\
 h &= ut + \frac12 gt^2 \\
\stopalign \stopformula

Note the \\ in the last line

This appears as follows

  • Context Stlye
\startformula \startalign
 \NC v \NC = u + at \NR
 \NC h \NC= ut + \frac12 gt^2 \NR
\stopalign \stopformula

( The examples here will focus on the context style, having two styles can be confusing -- Aditya )

Changing the number of columns

The above equations were aligned at =. Suppose you also want the + to align. Well, this is simple in context, simply specify the number of columns with \startalign


\startformula \startalign[n=3]
 \NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR
 \NC h \NC= ut \NC+ \frac12 gt^2 \NR
\stopalign \stopformula

Alignment of each column

If you want more control over the formatting, and want the middle column to be center aligned, you can do that by

\startformula \startalign[n=3,align={right,middle,left}]
 \NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR
 \NC h \NC= ut \NC+ \frac12 gt^2 \NR
\stopalign \stopformula
