is there like a way to just have inline math automatically continue to the next line when separated by a comma or some other punctuation that normally keeps it on one line
I thought thats what \breqn did but it didn't do that for me also caused confusing bugs.
$a$, $b$, $f(a,b)$, $c$, where it would be inappropriate to break at the comma in$f(a,b)$. – barbara beeton Aug 08 '19 at 17:22$a, b, f(a,b), c$results in different spacing than$a$, $b$, $f(a,b)$, $c$, so the method used to allow breaks after the comma is context dependent. If it's inside a set than you should not separate the elements into different math chunks, but place an\allowbreakafter the commas you want to allow breaks after, while if its a list of variables you want to describe in your text, you should go for different chunks. – Skillmon Aug 09 '19 at 08:04
