Hi, I try to typeset a nested align in a formula. However, the results looks really wrong. Here is a MWE: ``` \starttext \startformula \startalign \NC a = \NC (b, c) \quad \text{with}\NR \NC \NC \startalign \NC b \NC = something \NR \NC c \NC = someother \NR \stopalign \NR \NC somelong = \NC bla \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext ``` Am I doing something wrong or are nested aligns not possible? Best, Gerion

might be okay for your purpose
Thanks, but unfortunately not. I guess, I simplified the MWE too much. This does not align the b and c. It should become clear here: ``` \startformula a = \alignhere (b, thisislonger) \quad \text{with} \breakhere b = \text{something} \breakhere thisislonger = \text{someother} \breakhere \text{somelong} = \alignhere bla \stopformula ``` Gerion
Hi,
I do not understand what you want to have, so here is just something
weird, but probably you look for simplealign.
\definemathsimplealign
[whatever]
\starttext
\startformula
\startalign
\NC a = \NC (b, c) \quad \mtext{with}\NR
\NC \NC \startwhatever
\NC b \NC = something \NR
\NC c \NC = someother \NR
\stopwhatever \NR
\NC somelong = \NC bla \NR
\stopalign
\stopformula
\stoptext

Thanks, this looks exactly like that what I want. However, this does not really nest aligns, but defines a new alignment group/environment (if I interpret it correctly). But after all, it is a viable workaround. Gerion
