\newtheorem
Thus, Frank Mittelbach suggested to combine the new features into one
“standard-to-be” package. And now, here it is.
2 The User-Interface
2.1 How to include the package
The package ntheorem.sty is included by
\usepackage[〈options〉]{ntheorem},
wheretheoptional parameter〈options〉 selects predefinedconfigurationsand
special requirements.
The following 〈options〉 are available by now, concerning partially independent
issues:
Predefined environments: (see Section 2.3.6) With [standard] and [noconfig],
it can be chosen, if and what file is used for activating a (userdefined)
standard set of theorem environments.
Fancy boxes around theorems: The[framed]optionallowstouseframed.sty
that provides boxes even across pagebreaks.
Activation of endmarks: [thmmarks] enables the automatical placement
of endmarks (see 2.3); when using the amsmath-package, [thmmarks]
must be complemented by [amsmath] (see Section 3.2).
Activation of extended reference features: [thref]enablestheextended
reference features (see Section 4.1); when using the amsmath-package,
[thref] must be complemented by [amsmath] (see Section 3.2).
Compatibility with amsthm: option [amsthm] provides compatibility
with the theorem-layout commands of the amsthm-package (see Section
3.2).
Compatibility with hyperref: option[hyperref]providescompabilitywith
the hyperref-package (see Section 3.4).
The package itself loads ifthen.sty.
2.2 Defining New Theorem Sets
The syntax and semantics is exactly the same as in standard LATEX: the
command \newtheorem defines a new “theorem set” or “theorem-like structure”.
Two required arguments name the new environment set and give the
text to be typeset with each instance of the new “set”, while an optional
argument determines how the “set” is enumerated:
