I do have a longer paper. In one chapter I got several multiline equations, which I wrote using the align
environment from amsmath
-package. Actually those are quite long computations which should break anywhere for avoiding to much empty space on a page.
I want to use something like \allowdisplaybreaks
, which does exactly what I want. The problem is, that I do not want to allow displaybreaks anywhere else in the document, where I have no control about it. I tried to use \allowdisplaybreaks
directly before \begin{align}
, hoping it would only apply on the next following align
-enviroment. But it applies to every align
-environment later in the text.
Is there any way to "stop" the command again?
And yes, I could use \displaybreak
for single breaks, but I had to use it in many equations and I needed to put it in every single line, since the pagebreak should move, if I add a few more lines anywhere in the chapter.
Thanks for your help,
Greyfox

you can localize the breaks if you code your display like this:
the percent sign probably isn't needed after the
\end{align}
, but i'm just playing it safe, to avoid a possible space at the beginning of the next line if it doesn't start a new paragraph.
