Arrow between lines in the align environment












4















I want to add some texts between lines in the align* environment like this:



enter image description here



I tried the following code:



begin{align*}
abc &= def + def + def + def tikzmark{a}\
&= ghi + ghi tikzmark{b}\
&= jkltikzmark{c}\
&= mno + mnotikzmark{d}
end{align*}
begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
draw[->] ([xshift=2mm] pic cs:a)
to [out=0,in=0 ]
node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {footnotesize defitnition}
([xshift=2mm] pic cs:b);
draw[->] ([xshift=2mm] pic cs:c)
to [out=0,in=0 ]
node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {footnotesize blablabla}
([xshift=2mm] pic cs:d);
end{tikzpicture}


but it only gives



enter image description here



There are two problems:



(i) I want to make every arrow aligned vertically



(ii) As I am going to use this arrow very frequently, I want to define it as a sort of newcommand thing.



What can I do?

This can be done using the witharrows package.



enter image description here



Here is the code:



documentclass{article}

usepackage{witharrows}

begin{document}

[
begin{WithArrows}
abc &= def+def+def+def Arrow[tikz={font={mdseries}}]{definition} \
&= hgi+hgi\
&= jklArrow[tikz={font={mdseries}}]{blablabla}\
&=mno+mno
end{WithArrows}
]

end{document}


Note that you may have to compile twice when using witharrows.



Go to the package documentation at CTAN to see the many options for usage including fonts, arrowheads, curvature, color, etc.

Just for completeness: with tikzmark, which you are using, there is no problem in completing the code to give



documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{tikzmark}
begin{document}
begin{align*}
abc &= def + def + def + def tikzmarknode{a}{}\

end{align*}
begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay,font=footnotesize]
draw[-latex] ([xshift=2mm]a.east) coordinate (r)
to [out=0,in=0,looseness=2]
node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {definition}
(b -| r);
draw[-latex] (c-|r)
