<?tptxhy>
Description
Instructs PTC ALD to split an equation: this overrides the default setting where PTC ALD will carry a whole equation to the next line if it is too big to fit on the current line. Splitting is controlled by a combination of penalties (see <?tptxpenb>, <?tptxpend>, <?tptxpene>, <?tptxpenh> and <?tptxpenr>) and the stretch/shrink limits of the line in question. By default, PTC ALD will only split equations within the stretch/shrink limits: if this is not possible but you would like to split the line anyway, use the <?tptxhyx> command to activate extended split mode.
 
This command will not function unless the general allow splits option has been activated via <?tptxsplit>.
Syntax
<?tptxhy on_off:o?>
<?tptxhy>
[no parameter]
Invoke the Maths - hyphenation (inline only) dialog box.
on_off
0
Do not allow the splitting of equations.
1
Allow the splitting of equations.
Additional Information
Inline splitting of an equation will only be carried out under certain conditions:
as long as the Maths is self contained and is not broken by other normal text
only at the top level, therefore, anything within { } will not be split, neither will fractions.
only within the stretch/shrink limits of the line
