I have some equations that are long and run off the page if I don't break them onto multiple lines. Some of these equations have a constant on the left and a sum of terms on the right. I find that when I split the right side with the split
command, the results are kind of ugly:
\documentclass[11 pt]{report}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[\begin{split}16801 =& \text{DG:H:HICAP} + \text{DG:H:HIPP} + \text{DG:H:Hilar proj} +\\
& \text{DG:H:Aspiny Hilar}\end{split}\]
\end{document}
Two things are wrong with this picture:
- the spacing around the equals sign is clearly off
- the plus ending the first line is unusually close to the preceding "j"
How can I fix these things? BTW, I got identical results using align
in place of split.
