Math & Science ⇒ Over a page long equation hassle

[Makaremi]

Hi folks,

I have a pretty long equation which goes over a page. I am using the following format for representation (obviously what i'm dealing with is much longer).

Code: Select all

\begin{eqnarray}
sth_left&=&sth_right\nonumber\\
&=&sth_else_right\nonumber\\
&=&final_line,
\end{eqnarray}

My problem is that the equation doesn't break down into two pages, and latex tries to fit them all in one single page, which looks ugly. The template I am using is provided by Elsevier. I have another latex file with the same setting and a long equation. I see it broken down in two pages, but it does not work with the new equation which is a bit longer.
Any clue? I highly appreciate your help.

Do not use the eqnarray environment [1]. Include the amsmath package and use its align environment in conjunction with the preamble command \allowdisplaybreaks. For other useful information take a look at the »Math mode« document.
