Want to delete QED symbol of amsthm
Eiichi Miyagawa
I use the proof environment of the amsthm package.
I would like to be able to delete the QED symbol at the end of the proof
*when* I don't need it.
How can I do that?
Changing the \qedsymbol won't do since that will delete the qed symbol in
the entire document.
It would be nice if a command (say \noqed) could delete the qedsymbol in the
proof environment where the command is typed.
Thanks for your help!!

In my version, {proof} encloses its content in a group; so if you redefine
\qedsymbol there, you have the old value after the group is closed. Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\begin{document}
\begin{proof}
Foo\def\qedsymbol{}
\end{proof}
\begin{proof}
Bar
\end{proof}
\end{document}

If you are using a recent version of the amsthm package, maybe the
\qedhere command is relevant. I am not sure, because you neglected to
explain *why* you don't need the qed symbol. But in any case here is a
test file that may be helpful.

What if the proof ends with an equation?

I am happy now ;-)
I don't want the QED mark when the proof says ``Proof: See the Appendix.''
