General ⇒ Issue with adjusting equations in a line

[omkardpd]

Hi,

I have mathematical expressions (eg. a < b < c) in sentences. I use $expression$ form. Sometimes, I get the entire expression in one line and at other times it breaks-off between two consecutive lines. Sometimes, the expression fits within the page margin in one line and at other times the entire expression sits in one line but a portion of it falls outside the margin. Sometimes, only comma or full-stop falls on the next line. Is there a smarter way to have automatic and sensible adjustment of such expressions or do I have to track such expressions every time and adjust length manually (say by using \mbox or \hspace)?

Thank you,

Omkar

Hello,

How do I control a mathematical portion of a statement (written as $*****$) from going out of the page margin? I did not see any pattern in it going out of margin at one place and being written on two consecutive lines by cutting the expression in between. Please find the attached document to see what I am talking about.

Thank you,

Omkar

I'm not aware of any automatism to get a line break as desired. Perhaps you can change some internal parameters to influence this behaviour.

Code: Select all

\emergencystretch2em
\tolerance2000

These lines go into the preamble of your document.

Remark: Next time if you got no answer to a request, please use the old topic and bump it up by renewing your request with an additional post.

Hi Thorsten,

Thank you for the prompt reply. Your suggestion has solved my problem. Sorry for putting up a separate request message with the same content.

Thank you once again.

TeX can break inline math expressions after relational (<, >, …) and binary (+, −, …) operators. Your first example contains such an operator, your second doesn't. You should see the warning "overfull \hbox" during compilation.

Changing the hyphenation parameters is possible, but can lead to unpleasant line breaks. Sometimes it is better to convert longer inline formulas to displayed equations.
