How to you configure the proof enviroment so that it starts with a line break

[Yun Lu]

I know it's possible to put a linebreak in \newtheoremstyle so that the
theorem body doesn't start at the same line as the theorem title. But how
do you do it in the proof enviroment?

What package are you using (i.e. ntheorem, amsthm, or something else)

I used to use the amsthm package a while back, but, I now use ntheorem
instead. I find that the ntheorem package is easier to understand and has
more flexability. I don't recall what the syntax is for the amsthm anymore,
however, you may want to change to ntheorem instead. If so, you can use the
following as a template for your theorem definitions.

\theorempreskipamount13pt % <-------------------- This is the spacing at
the beginning of a theorem
\theorempostskipamount13pt %<---------------------- This is the spacing at
the end of a theorem

% A new Theorem template
%\theoremstyle{} %plain, break, change, changebreak, margin, marginbreak,
nonumberplain, nonumberbreak, empty
%\theoremheaderfont{} %\large, \Large, \footnotesize, \tiny, ... and
% %\sffamily, \itshape, \scchape, \upshape,
\bfseries, \normalfont, \rmfamily, \mdseries, \ttfamily
%\theorembodyfont{} %same as \theoremheaderfont but is for the body font
%\theoremseparator{} %Separates the header from the body font i.e. ":", ",",
".", ...
%\theoremindent % indent theorem with respect to the surrounding text. (note
should read \theoremindent1cm)
%\theoremnumbering{} %arabic,alph, Alph, roman, Roman, greek, Greek,
fnsymbol
%\theoremsymbol{} %mark at the end of the theorem

If you still want to stick with amsthm, try writing

\theorempreskipamount13pt

in your theorem definitions and see if this works. Both packages have
similar syntax so you may find that this works.

Feel free to check out the "Educational Materials -> LaTeX" content on my
site (see signature below). Provided is my LaTeX package and "ntheorem.std"
file that I use for theorem definitions (the above code came from the
"ntheorem.std" file). Lastly, if you're going to convert over to ntheorem,
read the ntheorem documentation because there are a couple of "sticky
points" that it has with amsmath and related packages.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
