I've got the following code, but I dont know why it creates line breaks in the equation

\begin{enumerate}
  \item My Equation 
  \begin{equation}
      P$\wedge$S \equiv \emph{False} $\implies$ L : lineBreaks
  \end{equation}
\end{enumerate}

Output:

Unwanted line breaks

There should be no $ in an equation environment. And no \\ either. Please, state precisely what's the output you're expecting. – egreg Dec 17 '12 at 18:52
@egreg Oh!, I need to define escape key for the equation? – asghar ashgari Dec 17 '12 at 18:54
What you put in an equation is already "between $". And if you want to split it between different lines you should look at amsmath's environments (align, gather, split, multline,... ). – Manuel Dec 17 '12 at 18:59
@egreg and Manuael thanks for the comments and tips! I added the working version. – asghar ashgari Dec 17 '12 at 19:01
@Manuel thanks for pointing out!, just realised this fact! :P – asghar ashgari Dec 17 '12 at 19:02

The equation should be written like this: 

\begin{equation}
     P \wedge S \equiv \textit{False}   \implies  L : \textit{lineBreaks}
\end{equation}

output

I would make the equation read as follows: P\wedge S \equiv \textit{False} \implies L : \textit{lineBreaks}. That way, you'll get better kerning of the letters in "False" and "lineBreaks". – Mico Dec 17 '12 at 19:34
@Mico thanks, updated it. – asghar ashgari Dec 18 '12 at 13:05
