518 Appendix H. Comm<strong>and</strong> Summary<br />

\begin{eqnarray*} [m] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (5.4.7) – 138<br />

Is the same as the eqnarray environment except that no equation<br />

numbers are printed.<br />

\begin{equation} [m] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (5.1) – 120<br />

Switches from text <strong>to</strong> displayed math mode <strong>to</strong> produce a formula on<br />

a line by itself, including an au<strong>to</strong>matic sequential equation number.<br />

\begin{falign} [a] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (12.2.6) – 275<br />

With the amsmath package, is the same as the align environment<br />

except that spacing is inserted between the column pairs <strong>to</strong> fill up<br />

the entire line.<br />

\begin{figure}[loc] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (7.1) – 169<br />

Float environment for entering text for a figure. The optional argument<br />

loc can be any combination of the letters h, t, b, <strong>and</strong> p <strong>to</strong><br />

determine the various positioning possibilities. Default is tbp. The<br />

character ! may additionally be given <strong>to</strong> ignore all float spacing <strong>and</strong><br />

number restrictions set by the float style parameters.<br />

\begin{figure*}[loc] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (7.1) – 169<br />

The same as the figure environment except that the figure is inserted<br />

over the width of two columns when the option twocolumn or the<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> \twocolumn has been selected. The st<strong>and</strong>ard form figure<br />

will only fill the width of one column.<br />

\begin{filecontents}{file name} [p] . . . . . . . . . (D.2.9) – 448<br />

An environment that may be given only before \documentclass, it<br />

writes its lines literally <strong>to</strong> a file of the specified name, if that file does<br />

not already exist. It also adds comment lines stating its source. In<br />

this way, non-st<strong>and</strong>ard files may be included in the main document<br />

file for shipment <strong>to</strong> other installations. If a file with the stated name<br />

already exists, it is not overwritten, but a warning message is issued.<br />

\begin{filecontents*}{file name} [p] . . . . . . . . (D.2.9) – 448<br />

Is the same as the filecontents environment, except that no comment<br />

lines are written <strong>to</strong> the file. The file will contain exactly the<br />

contents of the environment, <strong>and</strong> nothing more.<br />

\begin{flushleft} . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4.2.2) – 67<br />

Start of the flushleft environment in which each line of text is<br />

left justified, that is, it begins flush with the left margin but is not<br />

exp<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>to</strong> match the right edge. The equivalent declaration is<br />

\raggedright.<br />

\begin{flushright} . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4.2.2) – 67<br />

Start of the flushright environment in which each line of text is<br />

right justified, that is, the right-h<strong>and</strong> side is flush with the right<br />

margin, but the line is not exp<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>to</strong> start exactly at the left edge.<br />

The equivalent declaration is \raggedleft.
