I'm writing an mathematical article and find it not aestetically pleasing that writing math symbols inside plain text often produces uneven line spacing. I found a solution to this by writing \lineskiplimit=-\maxdimen
in the preamble and in the anser by ClintEastwood here. This has been working great until today when I wrote an equation using the equation and split enviroment from amsmath and it just produces a blank space.
Is there an easy fix to this or should I try solve the linespacing problem by other means?
I'm using Overleaf but also tried the following code in MikTeX version 2.9.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\lineskiplimit=-\maxdimen %this gives us even line spacing,
\begin {document}
\textbf{Verify that $A \cap (E+ \beta )^c = (A- \beta \cap E^c ) + \beta$}
\begin{equation*}
\begin{split}
\mu ^*(A \cap (E+ \beta)) + \mu ^*(A \cap (E+ \beta)^c ) &= \\
&= \mu ^* ((A- \beta \cap E) + \beta) + \mu ^*((A- \beta \cap E^c ) + \beta) \\
&= \mu ^* ((A- \beta \cap E)) + \mu ^*((A- \beta \cap E^c )) = \mu ^*(A)
\end{split}
\end{equation*}
\end {document}
Much grateful for any help provided!
Overfull \vbox (7683.99998pt too high) has occurred while \output is active
on the terminal so it is not surpising the answer is bad (and setting lineskiplimit as you do makes tex highly unstable and over-printing or mis-placed boxes are inevitable) – David Carlisle Jan 1 '20 at 14:27
