Multiline equation

Post by saeddawoud »

Hello,
I have a long equation, so I broke it to several lines, but the lines of the equation are splitted on different pages, because the equation lies at the bottom of the page. How to make them on the same page?
Regards

Which environment did you use? Most AMS environments (which are recommended) don't allow page breaks by default.

Hi,

a minipage environment would help, like corderin said. In amsmath environments, that I would recommend for multiline equations, the commands \allowdisplaybreak and \displaybreak control if and how multiline math environments would be broken. Those commands are described in the amsmath user's guide and in Mathmode.pdf for example, you will find those documents and more maths related tutorials here: Mathematics with LaTeX.
