How to disable align of \\ in align environment?

[vanabel]

I have some code as

\begin{align*}
a&=b+c\\
c&=d\\
\end{align*}

it will be indent to:

\begin{align*}
    a & =b+c \\
    c & =d   \\
\end{align*}

how to delte the space before \\, since when my formula is long, this will take a lot of space, and make my formula looks ugly. So is there a switch such that it looks like

\begin{align*}
    a & =b+c\\
    c & =d\\
\end{align*}

Thanks for the suggestion! This should be ok to implement as a switch; I'll label this as an enhancement and get back to you in the future :) Development is kind of slow at the moment as I have a number of other projects.

Hello there, thanks for developing! I just want to add to this. It looks especially strange if you have something like

\begin{align*}
    CCI_n          & = \frac{p_n-SMA(p_n)}{0.015 \cdot \sigma(p_n)}                                                                            \\
    \textrm{wobei} & n = \textrm{Perioden, i.\,d.\,R. 20};\p_n = \textrm{Typischer Preis/Kurs};\ SMA(p_n) = \textrm{SMA der typischen Preise}; \\
                   & \sigma(p_n) = \textrm{Standardabweichung}                                                                                 \\
\end{align*}

and use soft line breaks.

@schmimae thanks, noted! :)

Thanks again for suggesting this feature.

I have implemented it at 057e8f1. Full details are in the documentation, but it roughly looks like this:

lookForAlignDelims:
   tabular: 
      delims: 1
      alignDoubleBackSlash: 1
      spacesBeforeDoubleBackSlash: 2
   tabularx:
      delims: 1
   longtable: 1

You can now specify a 'basic' and an 'advanced' version of any field in lookForAlignDelims. Specifying alignDoubleBlackSlash: 0 turns off alignment of \\. You can also, optionally, choose to add spaces before \\ using spacesBeforeDoubleBackSlash.

I hope this is similar to what you had in mind, let me know if there are any tweaks :)
