An implementation of numbered theorem environments in typst. Import using

#import "@preview/ctheorems:1.1.3": *
#show: thmrules

Features

  • Numbered theorem environments can be created and customized.
  • Environments can share the same counter, via same identifiers.
  • Environment counters can be attached (just as subheadings are attached to headings) to other environments, headings, or keep a global count via base.
  • The depth of a counter can be manually set, via base_level.
  • Environments can be <label>'d and @reference’d.
  • Awesome presets (coming soon!)

Preamble

#import "@preview/ctheorems:1.1.3": *
#show: thmrules.with(qed-symbol: $square$)

#set page(width: 16cm, height: auto, margin: 1.5cm)
#set heading(numbering: "1.1.")

#let theorem = thmbox("theorem", "Theorem", fill: rgb("#eeffee"))
#let corollary = thmplain(
  "corollary",
  "Corollary",
  base: "theorem",
  titlefmt: strong
)
#let definition = thmbox("definition", "Definition", inset: (x: 1.2em, top: 1em))

#let example = thmplain("example", "Example").with(numbering: none)
#let proof = thmproof("proof", "Proof")

= Prime numbers

#definition[
  A natural number is called a #highlight[_prime number_] if it is greater
  than 1 and cannot be written as the product of two smaller natural numbers.
]
#example[
  The numbers $2$, $3$, and $17$ are prime.
  @cor_largest_prime shows that this list is not exhaustive!
]

#theorem("Euclid")[
  There are infinitely many primes.
]
#proof[
  Suppose to the contrary that $p_1, p_2, dots, p_n$ is a finite enumeration
  of all primes. Set $P = p_1 p_2 dots p_n$. Since $P + 1$ is not in our list,
  it cannot be prime. Thus, some prime factor $p_j$ divides $P + 1$.  Since
  $p_j$ also divides $P$, it must divide the difference $(P + 1) - P = 1$, a
  contradiction.
]

#corollary[
  There is no largest prime number.
] <cor_largest_prime>
#corollary[
  There are infinitely many composite numbers.
]

#theorem[
  There are arbitrarily long stretches of composite numbers.
]
#proof[
  For any $n > 2$, consider $
    n! + 2, quad n! + 3, quad ..., quad n! + n #qedhere
  $

Changelog

v1.1.3

  • Fixed alignment and block-breaking issues resulting from breaking changes in Typst 0.12.

v1.1.2

  • Introduced the thmproof function for creating proof environments.
  • Inserting #qedhere in a block equation/list/enum item (in a proof) places the qed symbol on the same line. The qed symbol can be customized via thmrules.

v1.1.1

  • Extra named arguments given to a theorem environment produced by thmbox (or thmplain) are passed to block.

v1.1.0

  • The supplement (for references) is no longer set in thmenv. It can be passed to the theorem environment directly, along with refnumbering to control the appearance of @references.
  • Extra named arguments given to thmbox are passed to block.
  • Fixed spacing bug for unnumbered environments.
  • Replaced dummy figure with labelled metadata.

v1.0.0

  • Extra named arguments given to a theorem environment are passed to its formatting function fmt.
  • Removed thmref, introduced normal <label>s and @references.
  • Import must be followed by show: thmrules.
  • Removed name: ... from theorem environments; use #theorem("Euclid")[] instead of #theorem(name: "Euclid")[].
  • Theorems are now wrapped in figures.
