Multi-line in-line math equation

Post by abhijit_becs »

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to break multi-line inline equation so that it does not over flow the margins? I found that for display equation we can use \begin{multiline} etc. But, how inline equations can break evenly with the line? Some inline equations break automatically but some of them are not and they are overflowing the margins.

Any idea please?
I got a solution for this. Just to write the inline equation without the {} parenthesis. Then Latex automatically break the inline equations. Although any other idea would be appreciable.

Hi,

normally inline formulas are broken. LaTeX breaks at relation symbols or binary operation symbols. The curly braces prevent that.
You could insert \allowbreak at some places. Further you could insert $ $ to split the formula.

For longer expressions it is worth considering to choose a displayed math environment.
