In LaTeX, the aligned environment allows you to start an alignable math block without forcing a line break or centering, like the display math mode does. Is there a Typst equivalent for this?
LaTeX sample & output:
Some sample text.
$
\begin{aligned}[t]
ky &= ax+b\\
y &= \frac{a}{k}x +\frac{b}{k}
\end{aligned}
$
Unsuccessful but close attempt at doing this in Typst:
Some sample text. $k y &= a x + b\
y &= a/k x + b/k$
Refer to Math - Typst Documentation.
For your exact scenario, notice also the use of box to preserve the inline flow:
Some sample text.
#box($
k y &= a x + b \
y &= a/k x + b/k
$)
I recommend that you browse this forum for more intricate usage.
I think it’s perfectly fine to ask beginner questions. Typst equivalents of LaTeX-specific things are imo especially welcome, since there is still quite a lot of friction for switching between the languages.
