Math & Science ⇒ How to skip empty lines

[kunigami]

Hi,

I'd like to know how to skip a line after a theorem declaration. The code below does what I want, but with an extra dot after the theorem declaration.

Code: Select all

\newtheorem{teo}{Theorem}

\begin{teo}
.\\
 Some text here.
\end{teo}

Does anyone have any idea on how to do that?

Thanks,

Hi,

with the help of the amsthm package you could define a new style for theorem-like environments that behaves as desired. Take a look at the following simple example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}

\newtheoremstyle{mystyle}%
  {3pt}%
  {3pt}%
  {\itshape}%
  {}
  {\bfseries}
  {.}
  {\newline}%
  {}%
\theoremstyle{mystyle}
\newtheorem{teo}{Theorem}

\begin{document}

\begin{teo}
The body of the theorem.
\end{teo}

\end{document}

Of course, feel free to adapt the example to suit your needs. Please refer to the package documentation for further information.
