Both skips are removed by preview.sty. preview.sty tries to get just a bounding box for the actual material. It kills indentations, it kills spacings above and below material. Since preview.sty does not know whether some material will be tentatively horizontal or vertical, it has to typeset everything in a vbox, then see whether it can shrink it. Inline text material needs to get shrunk down to the basic size. Things like section headings would incldue vace spaces above and below if those skips were not removed. So you have to view the material preview.sty delivers as naked. If you know it to be a displayed equation, you might want to add the appropriate spacings for offsetting them yourself. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
