What do "fleqn" and "leqno" stand for?

Post by hekoushui »

Hi everyone,

I will have difficulty remembering these if I don't know what they stand for. I couldn't find it online.

thanks.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I find it hard to believe that. Take a look at our »LaTeX Resources for Beginners«. I'm quite sure that several documents in this list will have the explanation.


Best regards and welcome to the board
