General ⇒ minipage, \twocolumns and \listtheorems from ntheorem

[Bozack]

Hi,

I'm using the ntheorem package to make theorems and the like, and I use the \listtheorems command in the end of my document to make a list of the theorems I've made through my book (article class). But I want the list of theorems to be in two columns (without the section-header being it).

This rules out the normal \twocolumn command, which makes a pagebreak before going into two columns. Then I tried to use a minipage environment like the following:

Code: Select all

\section{Oversigt over definitioner og sætninger}
\begin{minipage}{1.0\textwidth}
	\twocolumn
	\listtheorems{st,defi} }}
	\onecolumn
\end{minipage}

But the \listtheorems commands doesn't seem to understand how to make line-breaks when inside a minipage - which ends up in a look like the following:



How do I make the list of theorems into two columns without this behavior? - I'd guess that I should get rid of the minipage at first (it would end up in something very weird if I got to a too big amount of theorems and there would be need of several pages for the list?)...

I've attached the whole book with this post, if anyone would like to try compiling for themselves.

Try the multicol package. An approach could be to put the list into a multicols environment with two (or more) columns.

Code: Select all

\section{Oversigt over definitioner og sætninger}
\begin{multicols}{2}
   \listtheorems{st,defi}
\end{multicols}

Since I didn't test that, I can't say if it's working or not. The main cause of your problem is that the minipage environment doesn't allow any page break.


Best regards

Try the multicol package.

Worked like a charm! Thanks
