Live Editor: How to Align Equal Signs in LaTeX Equations

40 views (last 30 days)
I am writing a simple group of equations (General form of weighted graphs) in Live Editor using LaTeX, and I really wish to align the equation signs. (In default LaTeX font, character `X` and `W` have different widths)
X = (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n) \ (n \ge 3) \cr
E = \{e_{ij} | x_i, x_j \in X\} \cr
W = \{w_{ij} | w_{ij} \ge 0 \
\text{and} \ w_{ii}=0, \
\forall i, j \in \{ 1, 2, \dots, n\} \}
But I found the Live Editor does not support the `\begin{align}` `\end{align}` keywords.
I've tried to wrap the equation set above into a 3X3 matrix using `\matrix`, but that resulted in matrix alignment layout: the part of the equation to the right of the equal sign are not aligned to the left, but to the center (weird for equations).
Since we may not have align available until some future release or updates, is there any workarounds I can try? Thanks!!

You could use an array environment instead and align at the =. Please note, that the 1st column is right-aligned and the 3rd one left-aligned:
\begin{array}{rcl}
X &=& (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n) \ (n \ge 3) \\
E &=& \{e_{ij} | x_i, x_j \in X\} \\
W &=& \{w_{ij} | w_{ij} \ge 0 \
\text{and} \ w_{ii}=0, \
\forall i, j \in \{ 1, 2, \dots, n\} \}
\end{array}

Thanks, Ralf! The text you suggested works! And it is rather elegant! Can I mark your comment as the correct answer?

Thanks to Ralf's comment , I was able to get this brilliant answer, by using an array:
\begin{array}{rcl}
X &=& (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n) \ (n \ge 3) \\
E &=& \{e_{ij} | x_i, x_j \in X\} \\
W &=& \{w_{ij} | w_{ij} \ge 0 \
\text{and} \ w_{ii}=0, \
\forall i, j \in \{ 1, 2, \dots, n\} \}
\end{array}
