Left Alignment with Paragraphs for all Equations

Post by august_month »

Hello everyone,

I would like to left align all my question. Alignment should match new paragraph. Currently I have this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside,reqno,fleqn]{amsart}
\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}
It gives me left alignment, but not at the level of new paragraph.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
august_month

Left Alignment with Paragraphs for all Equations

The class amsart overwrites \mathindent. It uses \normalparindent instead. However, setting \normalparindent to zero is not enough. The simplest solution would be to switch to article and load the amsmath package as shown in the example below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside,reqno,fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\setlength{\mathindent}{\parindent}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
y_1=ax_1+b\\
y_2=ax_2+b
\end{align}

\blindtext
\end{document}
