Math & Science ⇒ A colored box around theorems and definitions

[petey]

Hi guys,

I would like to have a colored box around theorems and definitions. How can I do that ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi petey,

you could use \colorbox or \fcolorbox, like

Code: Select all

\fcolorbox{frame color name}{box color name}{text}

Those commands are described in the documentation to the color and graphicx packages (grfguide.pdf).

Hi Stefan,

Thanks! I tried them and they work as long as I don't put a theorem inside. Strange.

You could try the framed package. It provides more features than the color package with its boxes.
