The LaTeX theorem package
Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific
Word
The theorem package customizes theorem environments to meet the layout
requirements of different journals. Theorem styles determine the appearance of
theorem environments. These styles have been defined:
| Style |
Effect |
| plain |
Similar to the original LaTeX definition, with the addition of parameters
that specify the amount of space to skip before and after the theorem. |
| break |
Place a line break after the theorem header. |
| marginbreak |
Set the theorem number in the margin and place a line break after the
theorem header. |
| changebreak |
Interchange the header number and text and place a line break after the
theorem header. |
| change |
Interchange the header number and text but don't place a line break after
the theorem header. |
| margin |
Set the theorem number in the margin; don't insert a line break. |
How to customize the appearance of theorem environments
-
Add the theorem package to your document.
-
From the Typeset menu, choose
Preamble.
-
Click the mouse in the entry area.
-
Place the insertion point on a new line at the beginning of the preamble,
before the \newtheorem statement for the theorem
environment you want to customize.
-
If you want the style to apply to all theorem-like environments, type
\theoremstyle{style} where
style is the style you want.
or
If you want the style to apply to a group of theorem-like environments, type
{\theoremstyle{style} where
style is the style you want, and then place the
insertion point at the end of the group and type }
(closing curly brace).
-
If you want to change the font that LaTeX uses for the header of the theorem
environment, type \theoremheaderfont{font} where
font is the font family you want LaTeX to use.
Because \theoremheaderfont is a global setting,
it changes the header font for all theorem-like environments in the
document. The command should be used only once. Values for
font can be combined. Possible values for
font are:
| Family |
Effect |
Family |
Effect |
| \mdseries |
Medium Series |
\upshape |
Upright Shape |
| \bfseries |
Boldface Series |
\itshape |
Italic Shape |
| \rmfamily |
Roman Family |
\slshape |
Slanted Shape |
| \sffamily |
Sans Serif Family |
\scshape |
Small Caps Shape |
| \ttfamily |
Typewriter Family |
\normalfont |
Normal (document main text font) |
Not all combinations make sense and LaTeX compensates by placing a warning in
the .log file and substituting a similar font.
-
If you want to change the font that LaTeX uses for the body of the theorem
environment, type \theorembodyfont{font} where
font is the font family you want LaTeX to use.
For example, to use upright text in the body of a theorem, use the command
\theorembodyfont{\upshape}. The font used for the
body of a theorem-like environment can be restricted to a single environment
or a group of environments by using curly braces to enclose the
environment(s).
-
Choose OK.
No options are available through the Options and
Packages command on the Typeset menu.
The theorem package is installed in the TCITeX/TeX/LaTeX/required/tools
directory as part of the Standard LaTeX Tools Bundle.
