--------------
\newenvironment{teq}{\begin{equation}}{\end{equation}}
\begin{teq}
x^2 + y^2 = c^2,
\end{teq}
To get the correct generalisation of the rule as
presented in the previous chapter, we must set
--------------

space.  In this specific case, the output of dvitty is

--------------
                      x2 +y2= c2;                    (1)

 To get the correct generalisation of the rule as presented in the
previous chapter, we must set
--------------
