Subscript within 'enumerate' environment

Post by rav »

Inside the following enumerate

Code: Select all

\begin{enumerate}
\item ...
\item $\sup_{i \in M} q_i < \infty$
\item...
 \end{enumerate}
I'd like to have the expression

Code: Select all

$\sup_{i \in M} q_i < \infty$


The problem is that the subscript {i \in M} is on the right of \sup rather than below it. How could I solve this problem? I have tried enclosing the expression between \[ \] instead of $ $ and the subscript problem is fixed. However, the alignment provided by enumerate is then broken.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi rav,

use \displaystyle:

Code: Select all

\item $\displaystyle\sup_{i \in M} q_i < \infty$
