If you are using TeX Live 2022 or newer, or the newest version of MikTeX, then nothing needs to be worried. \section{How to load it} First, you need a backend to provide the command \lstinline|\newtheorem| with the usual behaviour, for example, \textsf{amsthm}. After that, you can simply load the current package with: \begin{code} \usepackage[(*\meta{options}*)]{create-theorem} \end{code} \begin{tip} Since \createtheorempackage{} uses \textsf{cleveref} internally, it should usually be placed near the last of your preamble --- notably, it needs to be loaded after \textsf{varioref} and \textsf{hyperref}. \end{tip} \medskip It has the following options: \begin{itemize}[label=,leftmargin=1.25em,itemindent=-1.25em] % \item \packageoption{draft} or \packageoption{fast} % \begin{itemize} % \item Fast mode. The functionality will be appropriately reduced to get faster compilation speed, recommended to use during the writing stage. % \end{itemize} \item \packageoption{name as context} \begin{itemize} \item When referencing, the resulted names correspond to the current context. For example, the English names will be displayed when referencing a theorem-like environment in English context, no matter which linguistic context the original environment is in. \item Synonymous names: \packageoption{name-as-context} \,$|$\, \packageoption{nameascontext} \,$|$\, \packageoption{regionalref} \end{itemize} \item \packageoption{name as is} \begin{itemize} \item When referencing, the resulted names correspond to the contexts in which the corresponding environments appeared. For example, if the environment is written in an English context, then it shall always be the English names displayed when referencing it, regardless of the current linguistic context. \item Synonymous names: \packageoption{name-as-is} \,$|$\, \packageoption{nameasis} \,$|$\, \packageoption{originalref} \end{itemize} \item \packageoption{name in link} \begin{itemize} \item Include the names in the hyperlinks when referencing. \item Synonymous names: \packageoption{name-in-link} \,$|$\, \packageoption{nameinlink} \end{itemize} \item \packageoption{no preset names} \begin{itemize} \item Disable preset names.

If you are fine with the preset names, then there is no need to specify the key \textquote{\commandoption{name}} while creating them, otherwise you shall have to use the package option \textquote{\packageoption{no preset names}} to disable the presets and then define your own ones. \end{tip} \medskip Please note that, by default, an normal environment \meta{env} and its starred relative \meta{env}\texttt{*} do \emph{not} share the same set of names, for the sake of generality. However, with proper usage of \commandoption{create starred version} and \commandoption{copy existed}, you are already able to produce all of the following combinations that shares the same set of names: 1$)$ numbered \meta{env}, numbered \meta{env}\texttt{*} ; 2$)$ numbered \meta{env}, unnumbered \meta{env}\texttt{*} ; 3$)$ unnumbered \meta{env}, numbered \meta{env}\texttt{*} ; and 4$)$ unnumbered \meta{env}, unnumbered \meta{env}\texttt{*}. I left it as an easy exercise for you ;-) \bigskip \subsection[Configuring theorem-like environments]{Configuring theorem-like environments with \texttt{\textcolor{code-main}{\textbackslash SetTheorem}}} The previous two commands are especially useful for package or class writers, while this one is more for the users. If you are not satisfied with preset name styles or numbering settings, then even after initializing the environments, you can still further configure them by means of \lstinline|\SetTheorem|, the syntax of which is as follows: \begin{code} \SetTheorem{(*\meta{list of the name of environments}*)}{(*\meta{key-value configuration}*)} \end{code} \begin{tip} \lstinline|\SetTheorem| should only be used in the preamble of your document. \end{tip} Supported keys are: \vspace{-.2\baselineskip} \begin{itemize}[label=,leftmargin=1.25em,itemindent=-1.25em] \item \commandoption{name}\lstinline| = |\meta{configuration} and \commandoption{name style}\lstinline| = |\meta{configuration} \begin{itemize} \item Same as \lstinline|\NameTheorem{|\meta{name of environment}\lstinline|}{|\meta{configuration}\lstinline|}|. \item Note that this configuration can overwrite those already specified in \lstinline|\NameTheorem|. \item Synonymous names: \commandoption{name-style} \,$|$\, \commandoption{namestyle} \end{itemize} \item \commandoption{parent counter}\lstinline| = |\meta{parent counter} \begin{itemize} \item Specifying the \meta{parent counter} for the current environment, \emph{i.e.}, numbering will restart whenever that sectional level is encountered. \item Note that this configuration can overwrite those already specified in \lstinline|\CreateTheorem|. \item Synonymous names: \commandoption{parent-counter} \,$|$\, \commandoption{parentcounter} \,$|$\, \\\phantom{Synonymous names: }\commandoption{number within} \,$|$\, \commandoption{number-within} \,$|$\, \commandoption{numberwithin} \end{itemize} \item \commandoption{shared counter}\lstinline| = |\meta{shared counter} \begin{itemize} \item Specifying the \meta{shared counter} for the current environment, \emph{i.e.}, numbering will progress sequentially for all theorem-like environments using this counter. \item Note that this configuration can overwrite those already specified in \lstinline|\CreateTheorem|. \item Synonymous names: \commandoption{shared-counter} \,$|$\, \commandoption{sharedcounter} \,$|$\, \\\phantom{Synonymous names: }\commandoption{number like} \,$|$\, \commandoption{number-like} \,$|$\, \commandoption{numberlike} \end{itemize} \end{itemize} \bigskip \begin{center} \itshape If you're feeling confused, don't worry. Let's now take a look at some examples. \end{center} \section{Examples} \subsection{The environment \texttt{idea}} First, let's getting familiar with these two commands by creating the environment \texttt{idea}. \begin{code} \NameTheorem{idea}{ (*\commandoption{heading}*) = Idea, (*\commandoption{crefname}*) = {idea}{ideas}, (*\commandoption{Crefname}*) = {Idea}{Ideas}, } \CreateTheorem{idea}{ (*\commandoption{parent counter}*) = section } \end{code} or to do it in one turn: \begin{code} \CreateTheorem{idea}{ (*\commandoption{name}*) = { (*\commandoption{heading}*) = Idea, (*\commandoption{crefname}*) = {idea}{ideas}, (*\commandoption{Crefname}*) = {Idea}{Ideas}, }, (*\commandoption{parent counter}*) = section, } \end{code} \smallskip This is not exciting at all. Now, let's say we are writing a bilingual note in English and French. (I shall omit the \lstinline|\NameTheorem| version and do it all at once in \lstinline|\CreateTheorem|.) \begin{code} \CreateTheorem{idea}{ (*\commandoption{name}*) = { (*\commandoption{heading}*) = { english = Idea, french = Idée, }, (*\commandoption{crefname}*) = { english = {idea}{ideas}, french = [l']{idée}[les]{idées}, }, (*\commandoption{Crefname}*) = { english = {Idea}{Ideas}, french = [L']{idée}[Les]{idées}, }, }, (*\commandoption{parent counter}*) = section, } \end{code} With this, if you use \lstinline|\selectlanguage{french}|, the \texttt{idea} environment shall be automatically displayed as \textquote{Idée}. And if you \lstinline|\crefthe| it, the definite article and the name showed up properly just as expected. \medskip Next we shall deal with the numbering problem. Let's continue to use this environment \texttt{idea} for demonstration -- suppose that we have set the names up with \lstinline|\NameTheorem|. \subsection{Let's play with numbering} Remember the exercise I left you in the previous section? Let's do it together now. \subsubsection{Numbered \texttt{idea} and numbered \texttt{idea*}} This is easy, \commandoption{copy existed} suffices: \begin{code} \CreateTheorem{idea}{(*\commandoption{parent counter}*) = section} \CreateTheorem{idea*}{(*\commandoption{copy existed}*) = idea} \end{code} \subsubsection{Numbered \texttt{idea} and unnumbered \texttt{idea*}} This is the easiest, \commandoption{create starred version} will do. \begin{code} \CreateTheorem{idea}{ (*\commandoption{parent counter}*) = section, (*\commandoption{create starred version}*), } \end{code} Notice that you cannot use \lstinline|\CreateTheorem{idea*}{|\commandoption{numberless}\lstinline|}| here, since we don't have names defined for \texttt{idea*}. \subsubsection{Unnumbered \texttt{idea} and numbered \texttt{idea*}} This is a bit tricky: by default we can only create numbered \texttt{idea} or unnumbered \texttt{idea*}, and the question is how to switch them. We shall need an intermediary. \begin{code} \CreateTheorem{idea}{(*\commandoption{create starred version}*)} \CreateTheorem{idea-temp}{(*\commandoption{copy existed}*) = idea*} \CreateTheorem{idea*}{(*\commandoption{copy existed}*) = idea} \CreateTheorem{idea}{(*\commandoption{copy existed}*) = idea-temp} \end{code} \subsubsection{Unnumbered \texttt{idea} and unnumbered \texttt{idea*}} This is the combination of the first two cases --- we need to create \texttt{idea*} first and then copy it to \texttt{idea}: \begin{code} \CreateTheorem{idea}{(*\commandoption{create starred version}*)} \CreateTheorem{idea}{(*\commandoption{copy existed}*) = idea*} \end{code} \smallskip In each case, the two environments \texttt{idea} and \texttt{idea*} share the same set of names. \section{Known issues} \begin{itemize} \item The current mechanism does not work well for German, a problem originated in the package \textsf{crefthe}. The author plans to adopt a more refined approach in a later version so as to support the various grammatical situations in German. \item \createtheorempackage{} modifies some undocumented internal macros of \textsf{cleveref}, so the behaviour might not be stable if \textsf{cleveref} gets updated. \item There may be inaccuracies in the translation of those preset names. \end{itemize} \medskip If you run into any issues or have ideas for improvement, feel free to discuss on: \begin{center} \url{https://github.com/Jinwen-XU/create-theorem/issues} \end{center} or email me via \href{mailto:ProjLib@outlook.com}{\texttt{ProjLib@outlook.com}}. \end{document}
