How to increase the horizontal spacing around `=&' in the align environment?
3
I found it too squeezed around the operators when I use align for multiple lines of equations. See the example.
begin{align*}
&a + b \
=& c + d \
=& e + f
end{align*}
How to increase the space around `=' to make something like
begin{align*}
&a + b \
= & c + d \
= & e + f
end{align*}
spacing align horizontal

={}&is the right way.

Yes, that works. But I have to add {} for each line. Is there a command for the whole document?

You shouldn't be using such a layout to begin with.

You need ={}& or the space after = will not be correct.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{mathtools} % also loads amsmath
begin{document}
This is a wrong display
begin{align*}
&a + b \
=& c + d \
=& e + f
end{align*}
This is a bit better
begin{align*}
&a + b \
={}& c + d \
={}& e + f
end{align*}
but the following is even better
begin{align*}
MoveEqLeft[1] a + b \
&= c + d \
&= e + f
end{align*}
end{document}
I'd use such a layout only in case the top expression is very long; otherwise
begin{align*}
a + b
&= c + d \
&= e + f
end{align*}
is the way to go.
