# [Tex/LaTex] Display Mode without Math Mode

environmentsequations

First I want to apologize if the answer to this question is well known. But after some searching, I couldn't uncover any similar questions.

In my document, I would like to feature a regular sentence (with very little math included) using display mode. For example, I want the following sentence displayed:

$$\textrm{All }x\textrm{ are }y;\textrm{ all }y\textrm{ are }z;\textrm{ therefore, all }x\textrm{ are }z.$$


I produced that by using the command. However, note that using this command, math mode is automatically included so my sentence becomes italicized unless I wrap everything except my variables in \textrm{...}. In this case, I think it would be better if I could do the opposite: "turn off" math mode (so I don't need the \textrm{...}), and wrap only my variables with .

Does anybody know of an alternative to and \begin{align} environments without math mode automatically enabled?

I would use \text like this:
\documentclass{article}
$$\text{All x are y; all y are z; therefore, all x are z.}$$
