Then:

\begin{example}

Some text

\end{example}

Output is:

Example 1. Some text

What is the way to automatically obtain without indent:

Example 1.

Some text

?

I tried to write:

\begin{example}

\\Some text

\end{example}

But there are two drawbacks, first it must be done every-time, second drawback is that it doesn't compile and

Latex error is:

thmtools may help, otherwise switch to the ntheorem pacakge and learn to use it. It also have a

concept, but it is not about the fonts (as it is with ), \theoremstyle amsthm \theoremstyle{break}

will do what you want daleif May 20 '11 at 15:16

Here's an example of the required new style definition using :amsthm

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsthm}

\newtheoremstyle{mystyle}% name

{3pt}%Space above

{3pt}%Space below

{\normalfont}%Body font

{0pt}%Indent amount

{\itshape}% Theorem head font

{.}%Punctuation after theorem head

{\newline}%Space after theorem head 2

{}%Theorem head spec (can be left empty, meaning ‘normal’)

\theoremstyle{mystyle}

\newtheorem{exam}{Example}

\begin{document}

\begin{exam}

Test exam

\end{exam}

\end{document}

Here's an example using now the predefined style from the

package:

break ntheorem

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{ntheorem}

\theoremstyle{break}

\theoremheaderfont{\normalfont\itshape}

\theorembodyfont{\normalfont}

\theoremseparator{.}

\newtheorem{exam}{Example}

\begin{document}

\begin{exam}

Test exam

\end{exam}

\end{document}

Finally, here's an example using and as its backend:thmtools amsthm

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsthm}

\usepackage{thmtools}

\declaretheoremstyle[

spaceabove=3pt, spacebelow=3pt,

headfont=\normalfont\itshape,

notefont=\normalfont, notebraces={(}{)},

bodyfont=\normalfont,

postheadspace=\newline,

qed=\qedsymbol

]{mystyle}

\declaretheorem[style=mystyle]{example}

\begin{document}

\begin{example}

Test exam

\end{example}

\end{document}
