General ⇒ How to prevent indention after equations or floats?

[Andy22]

Is there an easy way to suppress the indention of the text right after an equation- or float environment (but only there)?

Is there an easy way to suppress the indention of the text right after an equation- or float environment (but only there)?

Just insert the \noindent command right before the beginning of the text.

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}\label{eqn:equation}
  E=mc^2
\end{equation}

\noindent
And here the text continues …

The same works with figures and tables. This is only a local switch. If you want a global switch off for the indentation, just use a declaration in the preamble.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}

Thanks.
But I'm looking for a way to prevent the indention globally but only after equations and floats.

At this time I use the "search and replace" feature of the editor to search for "\end{equation}" and replace it with "\end{equation} \noindent".
But this only works in a satisfactory way on the final version of a document.

YES...make sure you leave no vertical space in between the equation and the next line of text.

\end{equation}
text follows here

instead of

\end{equation}

text follows here.

You will still get vertical space in between math and text in the compiled document, but no indentation of the following line.

Thanks a lot. This works fine. Some solutions are so easy and obvious...

Hello,

I have a similar question, except I want indention to be prevented even if the float is not located within the text ([!h] or [H] option), but its position is left to latex.

Any idea?
