Hi Alain,


AMS-math already has markup for the concept that you want;
e.g.,

\begin{align*}
\lefteqn{
     \int_a^b \biggl\{ \int_a^b [ f(x)^2 g(y)^2 + f(y)^2 g(x)^2 ]
         -2f(x) g(x) f(y) g(y) \,dx \biggr\} \,dy }
         \\
     &=\int_a^b \biggl\{ g(y)^2 \int_a^b f^2 + f(y)^2
         \int_a^b g^2 - 2f(y) g(y) \int_a^b fg \biggr\} \,dy \\
     &=\int_a^b \biggl\{ g(y)^2 \int_a^b f^2 + f(y)^2
         \int_a^b g^2 - 2f(y) g(y) \int_a^b fg \biggr\} \,dy\\
\end{align*}

To indent with more space, use a 2nd &  as follows:

\begin{align*}
\lefteqn{
     \int_a^b \biggl\{ \int_a^b [ f(x)^2 g(y)^2 + f(y)^2 g(x)^2 ]
         -2f(x) g(x) f(y) g(y) \,dx \biggr\} \,dy }
         \\
     &\qquad &=\int_a^b \biggl\{ g(y)^2 \int_a^b f^2 + f(y)^2
         \int_a^b g^2 - 2f(y) g(y) \int_a^b fg \biggr\} \,dy \\
     & &=\int_a^b \biggl\{ g(y)^2 \int_a^b f^2 + f(y)^2
         \int_a^b g^2 - 2f(y) g(y) \int_a^b fg \biggr\} \,dy\\
\end{align*}

While this works, it is inelegant to split the first expression this  
way.
You will not like the result produced by LaTeX2HTML (say), which likes
to work with complete expressions.

Hope this helps,
