\hbox \bgroup \beginR$ to get the same, but working with older engines? > I will look at longtable and see if the same kind of thing can be done there. I don't have it here but can you put \beginR at the start of $$ and still have a display \halign? if so you could easily make longtable do the right thing.... $$\beginR\halign{&#\hfil\cr a&b&c\cr}\endR$$ ? -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
