Margin Notes and multi-line Equations

Post by danguetta »

I am writing a document including a number of multi-line equations (in the context of proofs). I would like to be able to associate a small explanatory comment next to each line (eg: "divide throughout by x") in the form of a margin note.

Unfortunately, margin notes cannot be included inside equation environments - they have to be included before or after, which puts the margin note either above the equation block or below.

My question is - is there any way to include margin notes that are aligned with specific lines in a multi-line equation environment, so that I can carefully explain what happens in each step.

Thanks so, so much for the help!

Daniel

Try the marginnote package. It allows vertical offsets for marginal notes which could be helpful in this case.
