Align bottom of fraction with text.

[Andrew Murdza]

I have something like this: <p>Some text \(\begin{gathered}\frac{2}{3}+1\\[-2pt]\text{second row}\end{gathered}\) some more text.</p> I want the "\text{second row}" to line up with "Some text" and "some more text." I want it to make the special alignment only apply to that specific MathJax container, with all other MathJax containers having the normal behavior.

Is this possible?

Thank you,

Andrew Murdza

Remove the gathered environment.  That is

<p>Some text \(\frac{2}{3}+1\\[-2pt]\text{second row}\) some more text.</p>

 

gives you

 

Note, however, that the [-2pt] will have no effect on this in-line break.

Hi Davide,

I didn't make this clear earlier, but I want "Some text" to also be aligned with "second row" as well as "some more text." I also want \frac{2}{3}+1 and "second row" to be horizontally centered, like in a gathered environment. I also have another version that uses \begin{aligned}\end{aligned} with one & in each row, but I figured if I could use gathered I could also do \begin{aligned}.

[Davide Cervone]

Because your previous questions where about horizontal alignment, I misunderstood your request, here.  You are interested in vertical alignment, then, right?  in that case, use [b] after the \begin{gathered} to align on the bottom line.  E.g.

<p>Some text \(\begin{gathered}[b]\frac{2}{3}+1\\[-2pt]\text{second row}\end{gathered}\) some more text.</p>

produces

just as it would in actual LaTeX.

That's exactly what I wanted, thanks! I should have asked much earlier because I wasted a lot of time on this. I didn't know that \gathered had the [b] option (in MathJax or LaTeX), so I was trying to do it CSS and JS.

I had a go at this and produced this hacky solution.

Davide's answer, as usual, is way better.
