Page Layout ⇒ Text aligned to first Line of Table or System of Equations

[collertom]

I need to place text (one word or string) near align* or tabular environment. String (in example Test) must be in the same line as fist line of environment (in example aa=bb).

I know that I can whole put inside table or minipage but I need some simple solution.

Second problem is, that I don't know how can manage to break this environments on multiple pages.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts}

\begin{document}


\textbf{Test} \begin{align*}
aa &= dd \\
bb &= ee \\
cc &= ff
\end{align*}

\textbf{Test} \begin{tabular}{r @{=} l}
$aa$ & $bb$ \\
$cc$ & $dd$\\
$ee$ & $ff$ \\
\end{tabular}


\end{document}

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Very good, that you posted a complete minimal example. So I can show the solution on it - use aligned instead of align*, and both with aligned and tabular use the [t] option for aligning at the top:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts}

\begin{document}

\textbf{Test} $\begin{aligned}[t]
aa &= dd \\
bb &= ee \\
cc &= ff
\end{aligned}$

\textbf{Test} \begin{tabular}[t]{r @{=} l}
$aa$ & $bb$ \\
$cc$ & $dd$\\
$ee$ & $ff$ \\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Regarding the second problem: for page breaks in multi-line math environments you could use \allowdisplaybreaks or \displaybreak, as described here: How can I make a page break within an align environment?
