Math & Science ⇒ underbrace

[Peder]

What to do if the notes corresponding to the underbrace is too ''wide'', so they split up the equation.

\underbrace{not wide}_{very wide}

The result is that the equation is sort of streched with some spaces between the synbols, which I want to get rid of. It does not work to do linebreak tough it conserns a matrix, that is too wide.

Consider using something like the \mathclap from the mathtools package, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\[
a+ \underbrace{bcd}_{\mathclap{somethinglong}} + e
\]
\end{document}
