I would like to put a side brace around several lines in the align*
environment, as shown in the comments in the code below:
\begin{align*}
left side & = right side \\
left side & = right side \\ % }
left side & = right side \\ % }- these three lines are important
left side & = right side \\ % }
left side & = right side \\
\end{align*}

You don't need any additional packages to do this. Here's a way using a regular
array
:On the left is the regular
align*
environment (fromamsmath
), while the right should anarray
. A zero-height 3-rowarray
with only a right\}
delimiter is added to the middle equation to group the output.Another option, this time using
blkarray
:You may have to play around with the vertical displacement, compared to the
align*
environment.
