Equation breaking is a handy method that allows users to, for example, view long equations within the boundary of a Page View.

You can only use the Equation Break operators on the definition side of the equation. Each operator consists of a left placeholder, an Enter arrow on the top line followed by the algebraic operator and the right placeholder on the bottom line. Clicking Equation Break toggles the display of the operators.

The symbolic evaluation of some definitions returns a long result that extends to the Draft View area of the worksheet. Printing the page that contains such an evaluation will not show part of the result that goes beyond the boundary of the Page View page.

To avoid this problem, you can use the Equation Break operators to vertically wrap definition expressions so that enough horizontal space is left for the display of their evaluation result inside the Page View area.

For example, if you have this symbolic evaluation, the last terms of the result fall outside the right-side border line of the Page View page:

You can use the Equation Break operators to break the definition components so that you can see the whole result within the Page View page.
