moving line to the right

Post by abu aasiyah »

Hey,

I have the following code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,danish]{article} 
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[danish]{babel} % danske overskrifter
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{lmodern} 
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{align*}
&\varphi_{0}''''=\frac{p}{EI} &, \qquad \varphi_{0}(0)=\varphi_{0}(l) = \varphi_{0}'(0)=\varphi_{0}'(l)=0 && \\
&\varphi_{1}''''=0 &, \qquad \varphi_{1}(0)=1 , \qquad \varphi_{1}(l)=\varphi_{1}'(0)=\varphi_{1}'(l)=0 \\
&\varphi_{2}''''=0 &, \qquad \varphi_{2}'(0)=1 , \qquad \varphi_{2}(0)=\varphi_{2}(l)=\varphi_{2}'(l)=0 \\
&\varphi_{3}''''=0 &, \qquad \varphi_{3}(l)=1 , \qquad \varphi_{3}(0)=\varphi_{3}'(0)=\varphi_{3}'(l)=0 \\
&\varphi_{4}''''=0 &, \qquad \varphi_{4}'(l)=1 , \qquad \varphi_{4}(0)=\varphi_{4}(l)=\varphi_{4}'(0)=0 
\end{align*}

\end{document}
When i compile the first equation row is not aligned with the rest of the rows. I would like the first comma in the first row to be aligned with the first comma in the rest of the rows.

Thanks in advance.

Try the alignat* environment from amsmath.

Code: Select all

\begin{alignat*}{4}
  \varphi_{0}''''&=\frac{p}{EI}\; &&, &&&\qquad \varphi_{0}(0)=\varphi_{0}(l) = \varphi_{0}'(0)=\varphi_{0}'(l)=0 \\
  \varphi_{1}''''&=0 &&, \qquad \varphi_{1}(0)&=1 ,&& \qquad \varphi_{1}(l)=\varphi_{1}'(0)=\varphi_{1}'(l)=0 \\
  \varphi_{2}''''&=0 &&, \qquad \varphi_{2}'(0)&=1 , &&\qquad \varphi_{2}(0)=\varphi_{2}(l)=\varphi_{2}'(l)=0 \\
  \varphi_{3}''''&=0 &&, \qquad \varphi_{3}(l)&=1 , &&\qquad \varphi_{3}(0)=\varphi_{3}'(0)=\varphi_{3}'(l)=0 \\
  \varphi_{4}''''&=0 &&, \qquad \varphi_{4}'(l)&=1 ,&& \qquad \varphi_{4}(0)=\varphi_{4}(l)=\varphi_{4}'(0)=0
\end{alignat*}
More information can be found in the manual.

You don't need the danish language option twice. Use it as global option for the document class in order to pass it to other packages that may need it.


Best regards
