Re: double spaced documents have too much white space around display math, according to my students

You can force it to do it, but, well, things can go funny. If you really want more space, try 1.5 lines. That tends to work better. Can you point us at the LaTeX magic to fiddle display math vertical spacing in the article class? The guide to all things math-mode is: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/math/voss/mathmode/Mathmode.pdf In your case, you want to see section 11.5, on vertical space. Richard

double spaced documents have too much white space around display math, according to my students
Students are having fun learning lyx and LaTeX, but some are bothered that when they use double-spaced text, the display-math equations have too much space around them. They want a single line equation to be lined up on the ordinary double-spacing, with no extra vertical space. We have fiddled around with document classes, and we notice that with article(amsmath), then the white space around display math equations in double spaced documents is smaller, more to our liking. However, we don't like the style of Header and Section labels in AMS documents, we like the style in the ordinary article class.
