How to display a multi-lined list nicely?

I want to maintain readability of each element by using alignment point. At the same time I also don't want to make any further confusion as shown in the following figure in which the closing curly brace is not properly placed.



documentclass[preview,border=12pt,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{mathtools}
begin{document}
abovedisplayskip=0pt
[A ={
begin{aligned}[t]
&R_1R_1,R_1R_2,R_1P_1,R_1P_2,R_1P_3,\
&R_2R_1,R_2R_2,R_2P_1,R_2P_2,R_2P_3
end{aligned}
}]
end{document}


enter image description here



Question



How to move the closing curly brace to the proper place as shown in red? Any other suggestion is always welcome.

          You can instead use the {...} environment inside the aligned environment



          documentclass[preview,border=12pt,varwidth]{standalone}
          usepackage{amsmath}
          begin{document}
          abovedisplayskip=0pt

          [begin{aligned}[t]
          A={&R_1R_1,R_1R_2,R_1P_1,R_1P_2,R_1P_3,\
          &R_2R_1,R_2R_2,R_2P_1,R_2P_2,R_2P_3}
          end{aligned}]
          end{document}

          • @ArtificialStupidity That's indeed a good suggestion, however, I wanted to stick with the OP's environment (as I didn't know the premise at which the OP uses the aligned environment).

          Here are two suggestions, one a multlined the other a large brace:



          Sample output



          documentclass{article}

          usepackage{mathtools}

          begin{document}
          begin{equation*}
          A =
          begin{multlined}[t]
          {R_1R_1,R_1R_2,R_1P_1,R_1P_2,R_1P_3,\
          R_2R_1,R_2R_2,R_2P_1,R_2P_2,R_2P_3}
          end{multlined}
          end{equation*}

          begin{equation*}
          A =biggl{
          begin{aligned}
          &R_1R_1,R_1R_2,R_1P_1,R_1P_2,R_1P_3,\
          &R_2R_1,R_2R_2,R_2P_1,R_2P_2,R_2P_3
          end{aligned}
          biggr}
          end{equation*}

          end{document}

            Inspired by Raaja's answer.



            documentclass[preview,border=12pt,varwidth]{standalone}
            usepackage{mathtools}
            usepackage[a6paper]{geometry}
            begin{document}
            abovedisplayskip=0pt
            [
            begin{split}
            A ={ &R_1R_1,R_1R_2,R_1P_1,R_1P_2,R_1P_3,\
            &R_2R_1,R_2R_2,R_2P_1,R_2P_2,R_2P_3}
            end{split}
            ]
            end{document}


            enter image description here



            Note: usepackage[a6paper]{geometry} is added because varwidth does not take any effect if split is used.
