This does not look good. Consider,
\def\startintertext#1\stopintertext{%
\noalign{\dointertext{#1}}\NR}
\unexpanded\def\dointertext#1%
{\penalty\postdisplaypenalty
\afterdisplayspace % the matching \before... is not needed
\vbox{\forgetall \noindent #1\par}%
\penalty\postdisplaypenalty }
\startformula \startalign
\NC A_1 \NC= \left| \int_0^1 (x^2 - 3x)\, dx \right|
+ \left| \int_1^2 (x^2 -5x + 6)\, dx \right| \NR
\startintertext
Take limits of both integrals
\stopintertext
\NC \NC = \left| \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{3}{2} x^2 \right|_0^1
+ \left| \frac {x ^3}{3} - 7 \frac{5}{2} x^2 + 6x \right|_1^2 \NR
\NC \NC = \left| - \frac{7}{6} \right| + \left|\frac{14}{3} -
\frac{23}{6}\right| = \frac{7}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = 2 \NR
\stopalign \stopformula
There is too much space after the intertext and the next line. Can you
provide some magic to reduce this space.
Thanks,
Aditya
