Hello,
I have often longer equations of the type
\startformula\startalign
A = b c
B = c d
E = g h
\intertext{Some intermediate text}
F = h j
G = k l
\stopformula\stopalign
I would like to keep the alignment (per page), however I also would like
to have automatic page breaks inbetween. I can split it manually into
two \startformula\startalign ... \stopformula\stopalign blocks, but this
I would have to adapt any time I change something, which changes the
text length, before that block.
Any idea?
Additional question: Does anyone know why in the example the Gauss'
law starts not at the top of the page but roughly two line further down?
Tobias
Page break with math is a bit tricky at the moment. Before I come to
that, some comments.
Hans, right now zapf.tex reads
\definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery]
\switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]
Zapf Chancery
\input tufte.tex
Shouldn't that be surrounded by a start/stop (or bgroup/egroup) to
prevent font changes in the entire document?
Tobias, startintertext/stopintertext are already in the core, so you
do not need to redefine those in your document.
Now coming back to the main problem of equations not breaking across
pages. Taco had provided a fix for making this work. There are a few
issues with math equations breaking across pages, and this is the
reason that the fix is not in the core. I am attaching Taco's fix,
keep in mind that this is not final.
