# [Tex/LaTex] How to get rid of indentation after an equation

equationsindentation

I'm a total newbie to LaTeX and I get very annoyed about this. Every time I write an equation, the text following the equation has some indentation but I don't want it to be there!

Look at the following formula

$$K_BT_k=Dexp\left\lbrace -\frac{1}{2N(E_F)|J|}\right\rbrace$$

where $Dexp$ is a ...


The line starting with "where …" is indented and looks horrible. Some people told me about \noindent but do I really have to write this command after every single equation?

Remove the blank lines, either by actually removing them or adding '%'s:

Look at the following formula
%
$$K_BT_k=Dexp\left\lbrace -\frac{1}{2N(E_F)|J|}\right\rbrace$$
%
where $Dexp$ is a long sentence guaranteed to take us over the
end of this line and well into the next.


Simple, but subtle!

Note that although it may have almost the same effect, using the \noindent command here would be wrong. Using \noindent says "This is a new paragraph, but I don't want it indented." whereas putting in the % says "This isn't a new paragraph.".
