Text inside align environment

Post by Bozack »

Hi, I've once stumbled upon some kind of command to place inside the align-environment to make a new line, write some text, make another line - and then continue the alignment after the text again - without the hassle of too big space between the upper formulas and the ones after the text... I haven't been able to find it again though...

Is there anyone inhere knowing this command?

Hi Bozack,

it's \intertext.

The spacing with \intertext is also rather big. I prefer to use the mathtools package (from the mh bundle) which is a quite useful extension of amsmath (that it loads) ; it has a \shortintertext command.
