split long formula in two pages

split long formula in two pages

[Jeong Dal]

Dear all,

Sometimes, I wrote a long formula using
 \startformula\startalign … \stopalign\stopformula.

In that case, if the remaining space in the current page is not enough to contain the formula, then it adds ‘page break’ and write the whole formula int the new page.

I have read a discussion to split long table in two pages. Is there a similar way for long formula?

Here is a minimal example.

\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}

\startformula\startalign
\NC S_1 \NC = 1 = 1 + 0 \bigg( \frac{1}{2}\bigg),				\NR
\NC S_2 \NC = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1 + 1\bigg( \frac{1}{2}\bigg), 	\NR
\NC S_4 \NC = 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \bigg( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} \bigg) \NR
\NC     \NC >  1 + \frac{1}{2} + \bigg( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \bigg)  = 1+ 2\bigg( \frac{1}{2}\bigg),			 \NR
\NC S_8 \NC = 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \bigg( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{8} \bigg) \NR
\NC    \NC >  1 + \frac{1}{2} + \bigg( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} \bigg) = 1 + 3\bigg( \frac{1}{2}\bigg)			\NR
\stopalign\stopformula

\stoptext


Thank you for reading.

split long formula in two pages

Dear all,

Sometime ago, I asked about the splitting the long formula.

Since it is seldom to have a long formula, I manually break the formula using

	\startformula\startalign
	… formula
	\stopalign\stopformula
	\startformula\startalign
	… formula
	\stopalign\stopformula

at the final stage of editing. 
It is more economical than to make some functions for this purpose, I think.

Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
