Equation hitting page number

Post by hbaromega »

I'm using \begin{align} ... \end{align} environment. I have many equations
under a single \begin{align} ... \end{align}.

This causing all the equations to remain on the same page and eventually the
last few equations are falling over the page number.

How to get rid of this and continue to the next page without creating a new
\begin{align} ... \end{align} environment?

Equation hitting page number

Post by PerUlven »

This might be a very old thread, but it's one of the top results when googling for similar problems, so I'm asking here:

Is there any way to avoid this problem (with multi-line equations in align-enviroments hitting the page numbers), without using \allowdisplaybreaks? The equations that are causing problems are ending up all over the place because I have a lot of figures, which makes it very hard to read.

I have tried using a \makebox around the equation, but then I had to add a \minipage inside the box to get it to compile, and then I just ended up with the same problem again. It's also bit of a hassle to have to do something like that with all multi-line equations.
