I would like to create a new command for partial derivatives. I have something like this in mind:



newcommand{deriv}[2]{frac{partial #1}{partial #2}}


However, the partial commands are unfortunately not horizontally aligned, if I have e.g something like:



deriv{x^alpha}{t},


i.e. if argument #1 has a wider horizontal extent as argument #2. How can I enforce that the partial commands are always horizontally aligned?

    Like @JohnKormylo, I suspect that, when you say “in line”, you actually mean “vertically aligned” (like what you would get from, say, newcommand*{deriv}[2]{frac{partial #1}{partial #2hfill}}).

Set the numerator and denominator in a box of similar width and ensure they are both [l]eft-aligned. This is easily done using eqparbox and automated below to allow for any number of derivs (using a counter).



enter image description here



documentclass{article}

usepackage{eqparbox}

newcounter{derivcnt}
newcommand{deriv}[2]{%
stepcounter{derivcnt}%
frac
{eqmakebox[deriv-thederivcnt][l]{$partial #1$}}
{eqmakebox[deriv-thederivcnt][l]{$partial #2$}}}

begin{document}

[
deriv{a}{b} + deriv{abc}{d} - deriv{a}{bcd}
]

end{document}


Since this approach uses the .aux files to store the lengths of the boxes, multiple compilations are required with every change in the deriv content.

    You can check the diffcoeff package. It has many ready to use commands for a variety of differential operators



    documentclass[]{article}
