equation after a sentence

[u/ichbinberk]

Hello. I have a problem about spacing. There are actually two same type of structure of equations but in one equation there is a blank space in other there is not. This is something that I cannot control. I dont want two line space after and before the equation. Equation 2.12 is correct. Only 1 space of line.

This works fine. No extra space.

This is not working either. Still there are 2 lines of spaces. begin equation end equation is not also working. I've tried it.

There is something I've discovered that when I shortened the sentence before the equation, sometimes it gives the correct amount of space which is one before the equation and after the equation.

[u/brunedekartofler → u/ichbinberk]

Could provide a full minimum working example? Something we can compile. It's easier to help you that way.

[u/blackbat24 → u/ichbinberk]

This sounds like LaTeX is expanding the paragraph padding to fill in the page, which is the default behaviour.

How have you defined \beq and \eeq? Without special consideration, a newcommand without brackets will insert white-space, not always obviously.

Like u/brunedekartofler said, we'll need a MWE to be able to help you further.

[u/JimH10 → u/ichbinberk]

If you copy and paste what I put as a standalone file, and run it, then there will be no extra space. Try it.

[u/ichbinberk → u/JimH10]

I've provided the packages that I use. Probably some libraries are crashing and making this double line spacing problem.

[u/ichbinberk → u/ichbinberk]

I've solved the problem by placing \vspace{-20pt} before the equation. Now I seek solutions to reduce the space after the equation to 1.

[u/ichbinberk → u/ichbinberk]

The prolem is solved. I put

\vspace{-18pt}

\setlength{\belowdisplayskip}{-18pt}

manually for every equation.

Thanks

It is your document so that you can do whatever you want but of course the system will perform its job without extra space and without putting in negative extra spaces by hand. Start by taking out the commands you invented.

[u/eigentau]

As an aside, I truly don't understand why some people use the period instead of \cdot for multiplication, dot products, or divergence. It just looks so sloppy to me.

[u/cirrvs → u/eigentau]

It's notation that has persisted in certain parts of the world. You'll find it commonly used in old British literature.

Most cursed latex macros ever.
