I can get the results that I want, but the syntax does not make sense<br>
to me. So I thought I'd try to augment my understanding.<br>
<br>
I found from web-searching that a fundamental requirement is to put<br>
<br>
\allowdisplaybreaks<br>
<br>
in the preamble. This has the desired effect, but my situation is<br>
that I am not happy with the point at which LaTeX chooses to put the<br>
break. I tried putting in a \pagebreak command at the point where I<br>
wanted the break, but this command seemed to be ignored.<br>
<br>
More web-searching led me to the \displaybreak command. This "works",<br>
but what puzzles me is that I have to put this command one line<br>
*before* the point at which I want the break to come. The attached<br>
file demo.tex demonstrates the phenomenon. In order to get the break<br>
to come after the third displayed equation, I have to put the<br>
\displaybreak command after the *second* equation. This makes no sense<br>
to me.<br>
<br>
Can anyone explain to me what I am missing? Or do I just have to say<br>
"Them's the breaks"? 🙂️<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
