Line breaks in equations

Posted by phynix on August 15th, 2009

If you have a long equation and you need a line break in the equation, use the following code:

\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
x  = & very long equation part 1\\
& very long equation part 2 \label{longeq}
\end{split}
\end{equation}

Use the “&” sign to align the lines.
