LaTeX package for simple line breaking of long formulae.

autobreak's Issues

Typesetting error when equations contain &

& causes a typesetting error, even if it is in a subenvironment. For example,

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{autobreak}
\begin{document}

\begin{align}
  \begin{autobreak}
    A =
    \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}
  \end{autobreak}
\end{align}

\end{document}

! Argument of \autobreak has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                \par
l.11 \end{align}

Either ignore \\, or use it inside autobreak as an indication of "please break the line here"

Hi Takahiro
My name is Edgardo, and I am implementing some Java files that do automatic linebreaking for computer-generated LaTeX. And I liked the simplicity and design of your package.

There are two thing though: I couldn't see how to tell autobreak to "please break this line here", which is sometimes desired independent of linewidth. Also, with that same purpose people frequently edit the tex file manually, and the natural thing they try is to insert \\ (two characters, not four characters). But autobreak doesn't accept that (as you correctly say on page 7 of the autobreak PDF manual), and so the .tex file doesn't compile anymore.

What springs to my mind then are two possibilities. The first one is to use \\ as an indication of "please break this line here, regardless of linewidth". In that way, the two issues would get resolved in one shot. If having a command to indicate a line break is not possible, then the other possibility is to just ignore occurrences of \\ that people may end up inserting manually.

Are any of these possible?

Many thanks in advance, and best regards
