[comp.text.tex] Display math formulas: automatic line breaking

rssutor@broccoli.princeton.edu (Robert S. Sutor) (02/12/91)

I have a program that generates TeX code for displayed math formulas
(from a computer algebra system). These formulas are often too long to
fit on a single line.  While I know it is not trivial to do in the
general case (given specific formulas, fonts, font sizes, page sizes,
etc.) I would appreciate any pointers to work that has been done to
break up the displayed formulas into multiple lines "in a sensible way"
(vague enough for you?). Thanks.
