Document Classes ⇒ elsarticle | Sequential Definitions

[vitoitov23]

Hi,

I'm using the elsarticle class and some packages as shown below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[final,3p,times]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{lscape}

Trying to get sequentially numbered definitions, I'm using this.

Code: Select all

\newdefinition{def}{Definition}
\begin{def}
something
\end{def}

The output I get is a list of "Definition 1.". I can't seem to get these "Definition 1., Definition 2.,..." etc

Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Rename your definition environment def to something else. Internally environments start with \envname and end with \endenvname. In this case your environment would start with \def. But \def is a TeX macro to define commands. Hence you get error messages when trying to compile. See the log file (*.log) for details.

Next time please prepare a minimal example to give an adequate problem description along with eventually occurring error messages.


Best regards and welcome to the board
