Create specific Theorem Styles

Post by kornaros »

Dear all! I am very happy to participate the LaTeX Community!

I need your help! I found in a book of Mathematics 3 different Kinds of framed "Theorem" styles. You could download the screenshots of these styles from the following links!

Could you please advise me how to design these framed Theorem styles in LaTeX?

Hi Charis,

welcome to the board!

Please attach graphics to forum posts instead of storing externally and providing just links. I would attach them here, though I better don't do it because they may be copyrighted.

You can produce such boxes with titles with PS-Tricks or TikZ. Have a look here for examples: Boxes with Text an Math.

Dear Stefan_K,

Thank you very much for your fast answer! I will have a look at the link. I don't know how to attach pictures to my posts...Anyway...

I want to post to the forum two more questions! :?: :?
1) I need to translate an ancient Greek text to English for a publishing house. The publisher prefers the following output: At the odd numbered lines (for example) there is only the original text. Below are the English translation i.e the translation is on even numbered lines. The problem is the synchronization i.e. each sentence of the original language must end at the same (vertical) position as the (more lengthy) corresponding translated sentence! This could be achieved in Word or Open Office but is very painful and time consuming with no perfect results. Is it possible to create a simple LaTeX command of the following form \greektext{original sentence}{translation} so that Latex will put translation exactly below the original with sentence synchronization plus hyphenation for both languages or at least of the translation language?
2)
I use some very old Greek letters(ligatures) in .mf format(metafont files). When I see the pdf output these letters haven't nice resolution as the other letters. So I want to convert them to some other vector format or to open type format for better handling and better appearance. What tools do I need? Any (simple described..) suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Charis
