Text Formatting ⇒ Formatting for Text inside a Theorem

[laailalalaa]

Hello,

I defined an example "placeholder" using \newtheorem:

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{example}{Example}

If I write an example like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{example}[spheresmusic]
Consider s is a sphere so that ... .
\end{example}

How can I make the "s" look straight, how can I cancel the italic formatting just for some words in the example?


Thanks

Here's a couple of ways:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newtheorem{example}{Example}
\newcommand*\variable[1]{\textup{#1}}
\begin{document}

% emphasized:
\begin{example}[spheresmusic]
 Consider \emph{s} is a sphere so that ... .
\end{example}

% upright:
\begin{example}[spheresmusic]
 Consider \textup{s} is a sphere so that ... .
\end{example}

% semantically marked:
\begin{example}[spheresmusic]
 Consider \variable{s} is a sphere so that ... .
\end{example}

\end{document}

Regards
