%% USAGE: * \begin{widetext} ...wide material here... \end{widetext}
%% OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
%% * \begin{widetext[N] .. changes upper/lower separation of wide material from default 10pt to Npt
%% * \begin{widetext}[][tbn]: t = top line only; b = bottom line only; n = no lines. BOTH arguments are REQUIRED, even if first is left empty.
%%
%% The widetext environment can only appear once per page. It clashes with floats and footnotes, as discussed herein.

%% NB: the strip environment from cuted is incompatible with the [lineno] option to asmejour!

\begin{abstract}
This paper gives several examples of typesetting very wide equations with {\upshape\LaTeX} in the {\upshape\texttt{asmejour}} class~{\upshape\cite{lienhard2021}} using
{\upshape\texttt{asmewide.sty}}. The style defines is a version of the {\upshape\texttt{widetext}} enviroment built on the 2021 release of
{\upshape\texttt{cuted.sty}}~{\upshape\cite{tolucsis1}} from the
{\upshape\texttt{sttools}} bundle~{\upshape\cite{tolucsis2}}, which is available from CTAN, \href{http://ctan.org}{ctan.org}.
Significant hand-fitting around page breaks, floats, and footnotes is required to obtain good results. \textcolor{red}{Only the text
in \textbf{red} in this document meant to be read---the rest is simply filler to aid in layout.}

\section{Single Wide Equation on the Page}
\textcolor{red}{Equation~\eqref{eqn:WT1} is an equation with a matrix that is too large to fit into one column. A multiline math environment will not help because the equation cannot be broken into parts that each fit into a column.}
\textcolor{red}{A two-column wide figure, Fig.~\ref{fig:1}, has floated from a previous page to the top of this page, but this figure does not interfere with the \texttt{widetext} environment (a single column figure would cause problems).}

\appendix
\section{Spherical harmonics\label{sec:sph-har}}
Without getting into the details, a regular function $f(\theta,\phi)$ on the surface of the unit sphere may be written
\begin{equation}
f(\theta,\phi) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \sum_{m=-n}^n f_{m,n} Y_n^m(\theta,\phi)
\end{equation}
for $Y_n^m(\theta,\phi) = e^{i m\phi}P^{|m|}_n(\cos\theta)$, for $|m|<n$. The case $n=3$, $m=2$ (a \textit{tesseral harmonic}) is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:tesseral}.
These functions are orthogonal, with the normalization constant~\cite[App.~A]{stakgold}:
\begin{equation}
N_{m,n}=\int_0^{2\pi}\!\!d\phi\int_0^{\pi}\!\!d\theta \sin\theta\, \big|Y^m_n(\theta,\phi)\big|^2 = \frac{4\pi (n+|m|)!}{(2n+1)(n-|m|)!}
\end{equation}
If $f$ is independent of the azimuthal angle $\phi$, the solution appears in ordinary Legendre polynomials, $P_n$, rather than associated Legendre polynomials, $P^m_n$ ($P^0_n = P_n$):
\begin{equation}
f(\theta) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n\, P_n(\cos\theta)
\end{equation}
The terms in this series are called \textit{zonal harmonics}.
