I'd like a simple multiline environment that automatically breaks lines up to fit within the margins. I haven't decided on the end document style so I would like something that adapts well when layouts change. I don't want to set mandatory breakpoints, so I don't think environments like align
can help me. However optional breakpoints are fine. I thought I could achieve this with the multline
environment, however the equation is not being split into multiple lines, which I thought was the purpose of the environment. I've tried setting optional break points in the second equation but that did not help ether, both equations spill into the margin.
How can I achieve this? Below is an example.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb, amsfonts}
\begin{document}
\begin{multline}
\textnormal{continuously~differentiable}
\subset\textnormal{Lipschitz~continuous}
\subset\alpha-\textnormal{H\"older~continuous}
\subset\textnormal{uniformly~continuous}
= \textnormal{continuous}
\end{multline}
\begin{multline}
\textnormal{Lipschitz~continuous}
\allowbreak\subset \textnormal{absolutely~continuous}
\allowbreak\subset \textnormal{bounded~variation}
\allowbreak\subset \textnormal{differentiable~a.e.}
\end{multline}
\end{document}
\\
to pick the breakpoint.
