I would question if you really want to do that. Multi-line equations will be very difficult to read. Is it possible to break up your equation into multiple (shorter) equations?
Commented May 18, 2010 at 18:58 Use \notag \\ Check relevant answers here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/74819/… Commented Oct 16, 2020 at 10:23If your equation does not fit on a single line, then the multline (note that that's multline without an "i", not "multiline") environment probably is what you need:
\begin first part of the equation \\ = second part of the equation \end
If you also need some alignment respect to the first part, you can use split :
\begin \begin first part &= second part #1 \\ &= second part #2 \end \end
Both environments require the amsmath package.
See also aligned as pointed out in an answer below.

Package amsmath Error: \beginNot yet mentioned here, another choice is environment aligned , again from package amsmath :
\documentclass \usepackage \begin \begin \begin A & = B + C\\ & = D + E + F\\ & = G \end \end \end
Without configuring your math environment to clip, you could force a new line with two backslashes in a sequence like this:
Bla Bla \\ Bla Bla in another line The problem with this is that you will need to determine where a line is likely to end and force to always have a line break there. With equations, rather than text, I prefer this manual way.
You could also use \\* to prevent a new page from being started.

$x_1,x_2,x_3,\allowbreak x_4,x_5$. Latex will break equation in this place only if necessary.

There are a couple ways you can deal with this. First, and perhaps best, is to rework your equation so that it is not so long; it is likely unreadable if it is that long.
If it must be so, check out the AMS Short Math Guide for some ways to handle it. (on the second page)
Personally, I'd use an align environment, so that the breaking and alignment can be precisely controlled. e.g.
\begin x&+y+\dots+\dots+x_100000000\\ &+x_100000001+\dots+\dots \end
which would line up the first plus signs of each line. but obviously, you can set the alignments wherever you like.
