I have "

\everymath{\displaystyle}

in my header (even though I know you all don't recommend this). But the following line won't break at the end of the text part of the margin and instead writes off of the right end.

Suppose we want to fit a polynomial which passes through the points
$(-1,4), (0,0), (1,1)$ and $(4,58)$.

How do I get it to break? I've searched for an "\inline" command, but can't find one.

  • the title of the question is misleading as your expression is inline (and allows line breaking at relations and binary operators) and is not affected by the \everymath setting at all. – David Carlisle Jul 08 '18 at 21:57

\everymath{\displaystyle} is a really bad idea:-) but the line breaking is not affected by that. You should use 

$(-1,4)$, $(0,0)$, $(1,1)$ and $(4,58)$

as the , just like the and are part of the textual sentence structure (unlike the , in (0,0) which is part of the math, and doesn't allow line breaks.
