Text Formatting ⇒ \begin{right}$\qed$\end{right}

[andrei.f]

So I want to insert the

Code: Select all

$\qed$

symbol manually, i.e. I am not using

Code: Select all

\begin{proof}\end{proof}

If i use flushright, it appears on the next line on the right.

So I use

Code: Select all

\begin{right}$\qed$\end{right}

, which works as I want it to, except that it generates 4 errors:

1. Missing $ inserted
2. Missing delimiter
3. Extra right
4. Missing $ inserted.

What's the problem? (output is ok) or is there any other way to do this?

Thank you.

\right is a macro for math delimiters, remember \left(...\right). Perhaps you wanted to use the flushright environment instead of right.
You could use \hfill before the qed symbol.

Thanks for your reply. The \hfill works very nice - thank you.

flushright places the \qed at the end of the next line, that's why I didn't like it.

It's however interesting that \hfill\qed gives the same output as \begin{right}$\qed$\end{right}

On my system (TeX Live 2009 on Ubuntu Linux) the line

Code: Select all

\begin{right}$\qed$\end{right}

inside a small article document brings just 5 errors but no output.
