alignamsmathenvironmentsmath-mode
Is there any way to override the fact that certain environments in LaTeX are automatically "displayed"? One such example is the align* environment. I want to keep my aligned equations inline. So basically I want something like
\begin{align*}
x+y&=z\\
u+v&=w
\end{align*}
embedded into a line of text.
you didn't provide a minimal working example (MWE) so i made some (not entirely correct) assumptions.
first, the \\ before "linebreak" causes the current line to end. use \newline instead within a paragraph in a table.
second, the amsmath aligned environment doesn't need to be in a display environment (which will center it). it works just as well within ordinary math mode. but since \\ is required for the line break, the whole thing needs to be hidden in a group, most easily done with {...} braces. and adding a [t] option will align it on the top baseline.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}[!ht]{p{3cm}p{3cm}p{3cm}}
\toprule
Col1 & Col2 & Col3 \\
\midrule
Text with a\newline
linebreak
&
{$\begin{aligned}[t]
A &= B\\a
&= C
\end{aligned}
$}
& Text with wrong vertical alignment \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

In such cases you could simply use the
alignedenvironment within inline math instead ofalign*:Output:
