exception numbering

Post by lizzienuija »

I have to type in latex a mathematical text in which theorems etc. should be otherwise normally enumerated, except one corollary comes into pieces which should be enumerated Corollary 2.a and Corollary 2.b
Other corollaries have just one normal number, Corollary 4 etc.
Any idea for the convinient way to achive this "exception"?

exception numbering

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Inconsistent things such as this "exception" are sometimes not so straightforward to implement. LaTeX uses an integer counter for theorems, so what should 2.a and 2.b be ... I guess it can be "faked" somehow, but for this you better post a Infominimal working example showing your implementation. There are several packages which can be used and a lot of settings, on which a workaround depends.
