Can I display a list of equations aligned like latex eqnarray?

I have several sage equations stored in a python list (for use in solve() etc). I'd like to display them one per line, aligned on equal signs if possible. This is in the notebook.

Most things I've tried - view(), show(), pretty_print() just print something that looks like a python list of formatted equations, all on one line (although the documentation for view() claims it will print each element of a list on a separate line, that doesn't seem to be the case).

The only things I've come up with are to explicitly loop, like: for eqn in eqns: view(eqn) or to pass eqns to html.table() which does one per line with alternating line shading.

You can use html.table placing left hand side, equal sign and right hand side in separate columns.

var('x y z alpha')
eqns = [x == y^2, z+alpha^3 == 0]
table = [ (eq.lhs(),'=',eq.rhs()) for eq in eqns ]
html.table(table)

That's a good idea. If you add a %html cell you can improve the styling: avoid the alternating grey rows, tighten up the spacing, and right-align the leftmost column. I used this: %html <style> table.table_form * tr.row-a { background: #ffffff; } table.table_form * tr.row-b { background: #ffffff; } table.table_form * td { padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; } table.table_form tr td:first-child { text-align: right; } </style>

You don't need a %html cell, I tried: html(""" <style> .row-a td:first-child {text-align:right;} .row-b td:first-child {text-align:right;} </style> """) inside a sage cell and it worked well.

Makes sense. Tho I've started doing all my text as %html so I can use the <sage> tags and avoid the pre-formatted (fixed width) text I seem to get with html()

This doesn't look too bad:

sage: var('x y z alpha')
sage: L = [x == y^2, z+alpha^3 == 0]
view(L, viewer='pdf')

Alignment on equals signs is trickier, but the following works in the notebook. With L as above, create a cell containing this:

%latex
Here are the equations:
\begin{align*}
\sage{L[0].left_hand_side()} &= \sage{L[0].right_hand_side()} \\
\sage{L[1].left_hand_side()} &= \sage{L[1].right_hand_side()}
\end{align*}

There is probably a way to autogenerate this code in the notebook.

The patch at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ti... might also help.
