Up: How to use
Previous: Using an AMS
The amsmath package has the following options:
- centertags
- (default) For a split equation, place equation
numbers vertically centered
on the total height of the equation.
- tbtags
- `Top-or-bottom tags': For a split equation, place
equation numbers level with
the last (resp. first) line, if numbers are on the right (resp.
left).
- sumlimits
- (default) Place the subscripts and
superscripts
of summation symbols
above and below, in displayed equations. This option also affects other
symbols of the same type---
,
,
,
, and so forth---but excluding integrals (see below).
- nosumlimits
- Always place the subscripts and superscripts of
summation-type symbols to the side, even in displayed equations.
- intlimits
- Like sumlimits, but for
integral symbols.
- nointlimits
- (default) Opposite of intlimits.
- namelimits
- (default) Like sumlimits, but for certain
`operator names' such as
,
,
,
,
, that
traditionally have subscripts placed underneath when they occur in a displayed
equation.
- nonamelimits
- Opposite of namelimits.
To use one of these package options, put the option name in the optional
argument of the usepackage command---e.g.,
SPM_quot".
The amsmath package also recognizes the following options which are
normally selected (implicitly or explicitly) through the
documentclass command, and thus need not be repeated in the
option list of the usepackage|amsmath| statement.
- leqno
- Place equation numbers on the left.
- reqno
- Place equation numbers on the right.
- fleqn
- Position equations at a fixed indent from the left
margin rather than centered in the text column.
For symmetry there should perhaps be a SPM_quotcentereqn" option as well,
to balance with SPM_quotfleqn", but as things currently stand there
doesn't seem to be a genuine need for it.
