I am aware of both this and this questions. However, can we combine them? What I mean by this is can I enclose in a fancy box à la empheq
part of an equation in an align environment?
(I believe there is no need for a MWE since the question is simple and has MWEs in both linked questions; however if you need a MWE comment and I'll add one)
EDIT: Adding MWE
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{myblue}{rgb}{.8, .8, 1}
\usepackage{empheq}
\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}
\newlength\mytemplen
\newsavebox\mytempbox
\makeatletter
\newcommand\mybluebox{%
\@ifnextchar[%]
{\@mybluebox}%
{\@mybluebox[0pt]}}
\def\@mybluebox[#1]{%
\@ifnextchar[%]
{\@@mybluebox[#1]}%
{\@@mybluebox[#1][0pt]}}
\def\@@mybluebox[#1][#2]#3{
\sbox\mytempbox{#3}%
\mytemplen\ht\mytempbox
\advance\mytemplen #1\relax
\ht\mytempbox\mytemplen
\mytemplen\dp\mytempbox
\advance\mytemplen #2\relax
\dp\mytempbox\mytemplen
\colorbox{myblue}{\hspace{1em}\usebox{\mytempbox}\hspace{1em}}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
\Aboxed{\text{stuff} &= \text{other stuff}}
\end{align}
\begin{empheq}[box={\mybluebox[5pt]}]{equation*}
\text{stuff} = \text{other stuff}
\end{empheq}
Now, both?
\end{document}
Thanks, in before
