LyX ⇒ Equation exceeds Page Margins

[hooman]

Hi,
I am writing very long equations. When a text is longer than a page margin it automatically goes to the next line, it seems that with equations it does not do that. I was wondering if there was a way of controlling that or if lyx could let you know that you have gone past the page margin?
Thanks!

You are on your own for line breaks in equations---there are so many different things that people put in equations that there isn't a good algorithm for determining page breaks, I suspect.

AS kaiserkarl13 mentions, there is no good automatic way to determine line breaks in an equation. However, you can introduce them manually using multline instead of equation. See the amsmath documentation for more information.

Your editor can't know about line breaks because it is just an editor.
