Re: Altering spaces before and behind a formula created with C-M

Sorry,
I mean vertikal space, not horizontal space (I forgot to mention it). 
The place of the numbering is ok. But I would like to have the document 
more narrow vertically. Formulas created with C-M (C-H) don't fit with 
this idea.

Thanks, Matthias Diehl


You need to fiddle with \abovedisplayskip, \abovedisplayshortskip, 
\belowdisplayskip and \belowdisplayshortskip to compress vertical space. 
 Also be aware that hitting Enter before/after a formula in display 
mode (C-S-M) adds extra vertical space, because LaTeX thinks you are 
putting the formula in a paragraph by itself.

I suggest you download Herbert Voß's excellent guide to math mode 
(ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/info/math/voss/mathmode/Mathmode.pdf). 
What you want is covered in section 11.5 in version 2.09 of the guide (I 
don't know what version Herbert is up to).
