General ⇒ Customizing theorems

[an.cl]

I'm writing some guides for some people at the moment and was wondering if anyone knew how I could "color" in theorems, i.e. shade them with a different background color of any sort.

Hi,

some of the features provided by the ntheorem package could be useful for you. Please have a look at the package documentation (partuicularly, section 2.3.7 Framed and Boxed Theorems, pp 7ff).

Thanks, using that now.

Odd problem, though: I've used \newshadedtheorem but now it doesn't like having figures within things:

Code: Select all

\theoremclass{Theorem}
\theoremstyle{break}
\theoremheaderfont{\normalfont\bfseries}
\theorembodyfont{\normalfont}
\theoremsymbol{\ensuremath{\diamondsuit}}
\theoremseparator{:}
\newframedtheorem{example}{Example}[section]

...

\begin{example}
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{SomeImage.eps}
\caption{Blobby}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{example}

But it throws up with "Not in outer par mode".

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Omit the float environment and use the \captionof command provided by the caption package. The figure doesn't need to float in this case.
