It's possible that someone already asked it, but I'm unable to find something about so I've to ask again.

I'm having this problem: I will put a math formula inside the text using the $ $ environment and i need to put some text in the math formula; I can use the \text{} command, but I'm trying to keep the math environment style. The problem is that it dosn't go in a new line. problem

The image show my problem.

Here the piece of code that is givin me the problem

per poi ottenere $Q:=P(\xi_1)\land ...\land P(\xi_m)\land P(-\xi_1)\land ...\land P(-\xi_m)="uno\ stato\ casuale\ si\ stabilizza\ in\ uno\ degli\ stati\ memorizzati\ o\ un\ suo\ opposto".$\\

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Can you show the TeX code? – egreg Mar 03 '15 at 16:49
  • added only the piece of code problematic. Is better if I upload the whole text? – Davide F. Mar 03 '15 at 16:53

    Well, text is text, math is math. You really should treat your text as text using \text{si stabilizza}. – Johannes_B Mar 03 '15 at 16:55

    Try taking the string uno stato casuale si stabilizza in uno degli stati memorizzati o un suo opposto out of math mode. You'll like the result. – Mico Mar 03 '15 at 16:58
  • The problem of \text is that it doesn’t allow line breaks. The sentence should be changed to something like (I use english as I don’t know Italian) “per poi ottenere $Q:= ...$ [where] $Q$ [is] uno stato casuale...” – Zoxume Mar 03 '15 at 17:09

Don't type long descriptions in a math formula:

per poi ottenere 
$Q:=P(\xi_1)\land\dots\land P(\xi_m)\land P(-\xi_1)\\dots\land P(-\xi_m)=$ 
``\textit{uno stato casuale si stabilizza in uno degli stati memorizzati o un suo opposto}''.

A questo punto

Remove \textit if you don't need italics.

Don't use \\ for ending paragraphs either. Note \dots for the ellipsis. Remember to have \usepackage{amsmath}.

Also quotation marks are

 ``  ''

not ".

The similar text above should have 

che si stabilizza in~$x$

(note the tie for avoiding a line break.
