Hi

I am using the report style, latex2e. The first line after my all my
equations is indented if it is not the beginning of a sentence. What is the
best way to un-indent these lines? Is there a way to do this for the whole
document or do I need to put a latex command after each equation? In either
case, what is the command?

Thanks

The important thing is to *not* insert commands.

Your indent may indeed be a paragraph indentation resulting from
a \par command --- a blank line after \end{equation}.

Or your indent may be an inter-word space. \end{equation} ignores
spaces directly after it, but not after other things you might have
typed.

It sounds as if your equations are in display mode. The command for
standard TeX is \noindent just before the sentence in question. Try it.
It might just work for latex too.

To me, this sounds like you mistakenly introduced a blank line after your
equations environment (or after \[ ... \], or eqnarray, or ...). There
should never be an empty line before the environment, since a paragraph
is not supposed to start with an equation. There should be an empty line
after the equation only if you want to start a new paragraph, ie, the
equation was the last thing in the previous paragraph. In this case, the
next line should be indented, and you shouldn't use \noindent.

I have put a comment command (%) in the line
after the \end{equation}
command; it's simpler than to use the \noindent instruction,
I think.
