How to break a line at the beginning of a proof?

Post by Fibonacci »

Is it possible to insert a line break right at the beginning of the proof environment?

Say I have this code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\begin{document}
\begin{proof}

%I want a linebreak here

\begin{enumerate}
\item No line break
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}
\end{document}
Unfortunately it doesn't work. How can I do it then?

How to break a line at the beginning of a proof?

Replace \begin{proof} with the following code to produces a line break after "Proof":

Code: Select all

\begin{proof}\mbox{}\\*


Other possibilities are discussed here.
