Interesting. An important reference for automatic breaking of multiline
display are the notes of Michael J Downes included in the documentation
of breqn: see section 14 (page 16) of
http://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/breqn/breqn.pdf
I remember a talk by giuseppe about nath (or so) that did something nice
but anyway, the main question with that kind of trickery is if one is
willing to add structure info or not .. anything semi-clever will be
limited.
(Ignore the implementation details, which were a series of hacks to make
things work in pdftex, but section 14 explains the different display
math layouts and a strategy to choose between them. It will be really
nice to have something comparable in ConTeXt.
You mean these boxed lines? I'm not a math expert so the subtle details
are lost to me. I'd rather start from reasonable demands (after all very
complex stuff often is best done manually anyway).
For instance
foo = bar + bar + bar
gnu + gnu
is doable without much trouble if one is willing to enter
foo = \alignhere bar + bar + bar
gnu + gnu
and such.
