General ⇒ NewTheorem structure

[OA-Uwe]

Again hi,

I have a problem with a formatted project I got.

They use the NewTheorem structure in the following way:

\newtheorem{mylist}{}[chapter]

What happens is that this causes the line to be indented (the " " between {} and [chapter]).
Where and how can I override this gap?

Any input welcome!
Regards,
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

the indentation emerges because of the blank theorem name, which is followed by a space and the number. You could overcome this problem by defining your own theorem style "noname" that does not need a name and supresses the space before the number (cp. theorem package documentation p. 9). Have a look at the following code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[english]{report}
\usepackage{babel,blindtext,ntheorem}
\makeatletter
\newtheoremstyle{noname}
  {\item[\hskip\labelsep \theorem@headerfont ##2\theorem@separator]}%
  {\item[\hskip\labelsep \theorem@headerfont ##2\ (##3)\theorem@separator]}
\makeatother
\theoremstyle{noname}
\newtheorem{mylist}{}[chapter]
\begin{document}
  \chapter{chap1}
  \blindtext
  \begin{mylist}{test}
    \item bar 
    \item baz 
  \end{mylist}
  \blindtext
\end{document}

Regards
