+Abstract:
+
+ntheorem.sty for LaTeX
+
+by Wolfgang May and Andreas Schedler
+
+ntheorem.sty is a package for handling theorem-like environments.
+Aditionally to several features for defining the layout of
+theorem-like environments which can be regarded to be standard
+requirements for a theorem-package, it provides solutions for two
+related problems: placement of endmarks and generation of lists
+of theorem-like environments.
+
+In contrast to former approaches, it solves the problem of
+setting endmarks of theorem-like environments (theorems,
+definitions, examples, and proofs) automatically at the right
+positions, even if the environment ends with a displaymath or
+(even nested) list environments, it also copes with the amsmath
+package. This is done in the same manner as the handling of
+labels by using the .aux file.
+
+It also introduces the generation of lists of theorem-like
+environments in the same manner as listoffigures. Additionally,
+more comfortable referencing is supported.
+
+After running LaTeX several times (depending on the complexity of
+references, in general, three runs are sufficient), the endmarks
+are set correctly, and theoremlists are generated.
+
+Since ntheorem.sty uses the standard LaTeX \newtheorem command,
+existing documents can be switched to ntheorem.sty without having
+to change the .tex file. Also, it is compatible with LaTeX files
+using theorem.sty written by Frank Mittelbach.
+
+Features:
+
+ * General Layout of Theorems:
+ different predefined theoremstyles, according to theorem.sty,
+ defining own theoremstyles by \newtheoremstyle,
+ * Placement of End Marks:
+ automatically setting end marks for theorem-like environments
+ in text, math environments, lists etc.,
+ * Generation of Theorem Lists:
+ Generation of list-of-theorem similar to list-of-figures,
+ different predefined liststyles, according to theorem.sty,
+ defining own liststyles by \newliststyle,
+ * Referencing:
+ Extended referencing feature, yielding, e.g. "Theorem 42".
