This has probably been asked before (although I could not locate any information). What is (are) method(s) of setting \textstyle as a default way of presenting displayed mathematical formulas?

  • this is the opposite of what you ask: Displaystyle Package?, but maybe the inverse will work: \everymath{\textstyle}. not tried. – barbara beeton Feb 26 '16 at 13:22

    It does not seem to work. There's no error during compilation, yet the result is still displaystyle typesetting. – Rafał Gruszczyński Feb 26 '16 at 14:35

    The amsmath environments hard code \displaystyle in every alignment cell. You have to say \let\displaystyle\textstyle in the preamble; then look at the output and remove the instruction. – egreg Feb 27 '16 at 11:11
  • Whence the advice to remove the instruction? I have tried it and it is OK for me (at first sight). The only thing that the command does not influence is displayed math in the standard LaTeX displayed environments. Why? – Rafał Gruszczyński Feb 27 '16 at 17:04

If you really want to do this you need \everydisplay{\textstyle} to affect primitive display mode and \let\displaystyle\textstyle to stop any explicit switches to display style.
