You are returning too soon. Lines should be ended by \\, not \return, unless they are the last indented line; your snipped should rather go: \startformula F(\beta, E_{min}, E_{max}, m) = \wall\{0,\infty,-\infty\} \\ \cup \left\{\left.s\,\beta^e\sum_{i=0}^{m}a_i\beta^{-i}\right\vert s\in\{-1,1\}, 0\leq a_i<\beta, e\in\integers, E_{min}\leq e\leq E_{max}\right\}. \return \stopformula Or something like this (you can also split the part between \left\{ ... \right\}, i.e. the second set; delimiters should get enlarged correctly). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

I see -- \return is not “return to the horizontal position,” but rather, \return is the end of the \wall-indented part, right? merci, Christopher

Exactly. \wall sets a "new home position" that gets obeyed by all *subsequent* lines (each of them ended by \\) until a \return is met, which "backtracks" the home position to the previous one (you can have multiple \walls). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
