# “Math paragraphs”: display a lot of small formulas, automatically placing line and page breaks

I have a lot of short formulas that I want to set out all together—short enough that usually two or three will fit on each line—so I would like to simply give all the formulas, and let TeX place the line- and page-breaks between them.

The mathpar environment, from the mathpartir package, provides almost exactly what I want, allowing one to write e.g.

\begin{mathpar}
x = y
\and
y = z^2
\and
z = w^3
\end{mathpar}


According to the documentation, this is implemented using TeX's usual paragraph mechanism. However, mathpar paragraphs do not break across pages, it seems. Is there another package/environment similar to this but allowing page-breaks? Or is there a way to modify mathpar to allow them?

The package mathpartir has an environment mathparpagebreakable:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathpartir}

\begin{document}
\begin{mathparpagebreakable}
x = y
\and
y = z^2
\and
z = w^3
\end{mathparpagebreakable}
\end{document}

Thanks very much — that’s exactly what I was after! Confusingly, this seems to have been added since the version number was last bumped — the copy I was using was up-to-date on version number, but didn’t include this environment (and a few other minor changes). – Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine Oct 17 '12 at 15:34

It appears you don't need any special environment at all just use a normal paragraph.

 $x = y$, $y = z^2$ and   $z = w^3$ ....


will break over lines and pages where needed.
