Advanced

Sometimes it might be necessary to break up and align a long equation such as:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{align} \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x\sqrt{x}\right)dx &= \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x^{1}{x}^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)dx = \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x^{1+\frac{1}{2}}\right)dx = \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)dx \\[2ex] &= 3x+\frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}+1}}{\frac{3}{2}+1}\bigg|_{0}^{1} = 3x+\frac{x^{\tfrac{5}{2}}}{\frac{5}{2}}\bigg|_{0}^{1} = 3x+\frac{2x^{\frac{5}{2}}}{5}\bigg|_{0}^{1} \\[2ex] &= \left[3(1)+\frac{2(1)^{5/2}}{5}\right]-\left[3(0)+\frac{2(0)^{5/2}}{5}\right] \\[2ex] &= 3+\frac{2}{5} = \frac{15}{5}+\frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5} \end{align} }

To do this use &= where the equation = should align and put \begin{align} and \end{align} at the start and end of <math></math>. Finally use \\[2ex] to create the proper space between the lines (if they're too close) and to push the rest of the equation to the next line. Note: // pushes the line down and [2ex] spaces the line. The number 2 can be changed for more or less spacing between the lines. The code below renders what is seen above:

<math>
\begin{align}

\int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x\sqrt{x}\right)dx &= \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x^{1}{x}^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)dx = \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x^{1+\frac{1}{2}}\right)dx  = \int_{0}^{1}\left(3+x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)dx \\[2ex]

&= 3x+\frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}+1}}{\frac{3}{2}+1}\bigg|_{0}^{1} = 3x+\frac{x^{\tfrac{5}{2}}}{\frac{5}{2}}\bigg|_{0}^{1} = 3x+\frac{2x^{\frac{5}{2}}}{5}\bigg|_{0}^{1} \\[2ex]

&= \left[3(1)+\frac{2(1)^{5/2}}{5}\right]-\left[3(0)+\frac{2(0)^{5/2}}{5}\right] \\[2ex]

&= 3+\frac{2}{5} = \frac{15}{5}+\frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5}  

\end{align}
