Generating PDF or Printing (with real printer)

Hello there,

not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.

My setup is Ipython/Jupyter with sympy. Maybe the question is more Jupyter specific than sympy.

I've got the following problem. Whenever I want to print to real paper or create a pdf via the latex export method, real long formula outputs are capped off.

Meaning, I can only see part of the output and the rest is hidden in a scrollable area, which is of course of no use if you print it out.

The funny thing is as long as I do not print the whole formula is shown correctly and I do not have to scroll?

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Johannes.

I would ask the Jupyter guys about this, or on stack overflow. I think
in the worst case you may need to export to latex and edit the file
manually to wrap the expressions.

Johannes, if you figure it out, please let us know. I would be
interested in knowing the solution.

The standard way to make LaTeX automatically break displayed equations is to use the 'breqn' package. This requires changing your 'equation' environment to a 'dmath' environment as well, together with a number of smaller things (see the manual for details), which Jupyter may be able to do for you automatically (am not a Jupyter user myself).
