Is there a way to consistently increase the vertical spacing between equation lines in a gather
(or gather*
) environment from amsmath
?
Specifically, I want to produce something like
\begin{gather*}
a = b \\[2ex]
c = d \\[2ex]
e = f
\end{gather*}
without having to write [2ex]
at the end of each equation line.
I can think of some hacks that redefine \\
to automatically add the spacing, but is there some cleaner/better way to achieve this?
Best Answer
This can be achieved by increasing the length
\jot
which amsmath uses between lines in multi-line formulas. Either writeor
to increase the spacing. It's very similar to Increase spacing in split environment, since it's the same technique though another environment is meant.
