General ⇒ Putting whatever is in the exemple environment in small

[latexforever]

Hello,

I've added this line to my preamble:

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{exemple}{Exemple}[section]

When I use exemple environment, there is no problem, but I want the text in the exemple environment to be smaller (using footnotesize). How can I specify this?

Thanks!

Hello,

have a look at the amsthm package. The command \newtheoremstyle lets you define customized theorem styles.

Hello,

I've already looked at the documentation files of this package, but I think you don't understand what I want to do. My aim is to make the text in the exemple environment smaller.
I know the syntax is like this:
--
\newtheoremstyle{note}% name
{3pt}% Space above
{3pt}% Space below
{}% Body font
{}% Indent amount
{\itshape}% Theorem head font
{:}% Punctuation after theorem head
{.5em}% Space after theorem head2
{}% Theorem head spec (can be left empty, meaning `normal')
--.
But I still don't know which instructions between the {} I've got to use in order to use a small body font

Thanks for answering

As it seems not to be clear I'm now going to give you an example of code.

Here is the code I'm going to use in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\newtheoremstyle{exemple}
{10pt}{10pt}{\itshape}{}{\itshape}{.}{\newline}{}%
\theoremstyle{exemple}
\newtheorem{exemple}{Exemple}[section]

.

The only thing I want is to put the text in the exemple environment in a smaller font. What is the command to do this?

Look here and choose the one you want.

Thanks. I had seen this website, but I thought the command

Code: Select all

\footnotesize

wouldn't have worked, but it does, astonishingly.

Thanks for all. It now works.
