As we see, the original version is simply ugly: the title and the contents are separated by a too small space (cf. Remark 2). If we redefine
\@thmcounterend to be a space (\def\@thmcounterend{ } or \def\@thmcounterend{\ } or \def\@thmcounterend{\space}), an unwanted empty line after a line-long remark title may emerge. If we redefine \@thmcounterend to redefine the space to be of the double length (\def\@thmcounterend{\def\ {\hspace{2\fontdimen2\font plus2\fontdimen3\font minus2\fontdimen4\font}}}), and the user does not supply a name, then the horizontal space after a numbered unnamed remark is still small as originally. If we redefine \@thmcounterend to choose between the two options above (\def\@thmcounterend{\@ifnextchar\ {\hspace{2\fontdimen2\font plus2\fontdimen3\font minus2\fontdimen4\font}\@gobble}{ }}), we get a small but unwanted vertical space after a line-long named-remark title as in Remark 6.How to globally change the definitions of the involved macros and environments (while preserving the LaTeX-document contents) so that more horizontal space is inserted between the end of a remark title and the beginning of a remark body whenever they are on the same line (and introduce no extra space if they are on separate lines)?
I cannot help thinking that redefining some other macro than
\@thmcounterend might work better but don't have enough knowledge to find such a macro and change it myself.Crossposts: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=35426&p=118775 , https://texwelt.de/fragen/29112 , http://golatex.de/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=25009 , and http://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=3801 .
