Text Formatting ⇒ Acknowledgements

[xetal]

Hi,

When I am adding
\begin{acknowledgements}
\end{acknowledgements}

I get errors (undefined enviroment). Are there any packages that need to be imported? I've googled but I keep on getting the impression that this is "standard stuff" and should work.

Since you didn't mention which document class you were using, there's no way for us to know whether this should be working for you, but there is no acknowledgements environment in the standard document classes.

If you want to create one, perhaps this old thread might help:

I think you should not rely on impressions. frabjous demonstrated that you can pick up a lot of information with a forum search. The search engine of your choice is not always the best source.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi,

Actually this forum ended up as a search result when googeling. So I have already seen the thread in the link and a few others. My primary choice would however be an already predefined enviroment. I saw there is a "\thanks{...}" but it does not appear to do anything special. I am using amsart as my documentclass.

Cheers.

There should be nothing that keeps you from testing the provided solution with that document class.
