I need to align math to the left. I tried to add [fleqn]
option to the \documentclass
command – it works but now all equations in the document are aligned to the left which isn't what I want.
My LaTeX code looks like this
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
Classic math which I don't want align to the left
\[
2x + 5
\]
Multiline math which must be left-aligned
\begin{gather*}
x^2 + 3 \\
2x - 5
\end{gather*}
\end{document}
gather*
environment is used only for example. Is there any environment instead of gather*
which is suitable for my needs? Thanks

That's a rather strange requirement, perhaps easiest is if you use
$$
instead of\[
.$$
is officially not supported syntax, the main problem being that it does not+ work withfleqn
which seems to be exactly what you want here.Note never leave a blank line above a display math, whether
$$
,\[
or\begin{align}
