Text Formatting ⇒ Vertical space, newtheorem and list

[petey]

Hi,

I have created a new environment called "example" using \newtheorem.

My problems is when i write something like this

Code: Select all

\begin{example}[Title of example]
\begin{enumerate}
\item This is a test
\end{enumerate
\end{example}

then the "This is a test" item will float to the "title of example". It looks something like this:

Title of example 1) This is a test

If I write some text before I begin enumerating then there is no problem.

How can I add som vertical space? I have tried with \vspace but no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try inserting a proper caption? e.g.:

Code: Select all

\begin{example}
  \caption[Title of example for TOC]{Title of example}
       \begin{enumerate} 
       \item This is a test
       \end{enumerate}
\end{example}

You may need to add into your preamble (under the newfloat commands)

Code: Select all

\floatname{example}{Example} 

which defines the caption title displayed before your caption. In this case, the result is: Example 1: Title of Example

The alternative would be to just force in an empty line like:

Code: Select all

\textnormal{ }\\

before the enumerate float and then fix the spacing using \vspace
