# keytheorems A LaTeX package to use [`amsthm`](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/amsthm) with a key-value interface. Meant to emulate most of the functionality of [`thmtools`](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/thmtools) but written in expl3. If you find a bug please open an issue or pull request. The package is maintained by Matthew Bertucci. ## Sample document ```tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amssymb,amsmath} \usepackage{keytheorems} \usepackage{hyperref} \newkeytheoremstyle{mystyle}{ % } \newkeytheorem{theorem}[ style=mystyle, parent=section ] \newkeytheorem{remark}[ style=remark, numbered=no ] \begin{document} \section{Some theorems} \begin{theorem}[ note=Strong Bertini over $\mathbb{C}$, label=strongbertini ] Let $X$ be a smooth complex variety and let $\mathfrak{D}$ be a positive dimensional linear system on $X$. Then the general element of $\mathfrak{D}$ is smooth away from the base locus $B_{\mathfrak{D}}$. That is, the set \[\{H\in\mathfrak{D}\mid D_H \text{ is smooth away from } B_{\mathfrak{D}}\}\] is a Zariski dense open subset of $\mathfrak{D}$. \end{theorem} \begin{remark} In fact, \autoref{strongbertini} holds over any algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. \end{remark} \begin{theorem}[Bertini over any field] Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}_k^n$ be a smooth projective variety over a field $k$. Then the set of hyperplanes $H\subseteq\mathbb{P}_k^n$ such that $X\cap H$ is smooth is a Zariski dense open subset of $(\mathbb{P}_k^n)^*$. \end{theorem} \listofkeytheorems %%% compare with %\listofkeytheorems[ignoreall,show=theorem] %\listofkeytheorems[swapnumber] %\listofkeytheorems[title=BLUB] %\listofkeytheorems[print-body] % needs 'store-all' package option \end{document} ``` ## Documentation There is a list of commands and keys offered by the package [here](https://github.com/mbertucci47/keytheorems/blob/main/doc/keytheorems-doc.pdf). More of a reference document than documentation. ## Differences with thmtools Some of the code is a direct translation from thmtools but a few things are changed: - The only backend supported is amsthm, and it is loaded by the package. As I understand it, [`ntheorem`](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/ntheorem) has quite a few bugs and no active development, and if you're just using the kernel `\newtheorem` then you don't need a package like this. - Theorem hooks use the kernel hooks. Thus unlike the `prefoot` and `postfoot` hooks of thmtools, all code chunks are added to hooks in the order declared (unless given a distinct label; then the chunks are reversed). The order of generic/specific hooks remains the same. Furthermore, the command for adding to theorem hooks is `\addtotheoremhook{}{}`. - thmtools changes some style settings to be default that are different from amsthm defaults, but only if a custom style is called. Example: ```tex \declaretheoremstyle[spaceabove=20pt]{mythmsty} \declaretheorem[style=mythmsty]{mythm} ``` is different from just ```tex \declaretheorem{mythm} ``` as in the former, `bodyfont` is `\normalfont`, not the default `\itshape`. This package keeps the defaults unless a key is specifically given. - There is no `restatable(*)` environment except with package option `thmtools-compat`. Use the `store` (alias `restate`) key. For counters and labels pointing to the restated theorem, use `store*` (alias `restate*`). - Rather than `restate=foo` defining a command `\foo*`, theorems are retrieved with `\getkeytheorem{foo}`. For just the theorem body, use `\getkeytheorem[body]{foo}`. Also, this retrieval can happen even before the theorem is stated since keytheorems writes the contents to a file. - The `shaded` and `thmbox` keys are only available with the package option `thmtools-compat`, and they are emulated with [`tcolorbox`](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tcolorbox). Instead there's an interface to tcolorbox with the `tcolorbox={}` and `tcolorbox-no-titlebar={}` key. The `mdframed` key is not implemented. - You can reuse styles with the `inherit-style` key. - With thmtools, the command `\newtheorem{}{}` is changed to behave like `\declaretheorem[name=]{}`. This is not the default here. Instead either only use the new interface or load the package with option `overload`. - Adds several new keys (see doc for details). ## thmtools issues resolved by keytheorems Issues from the thmtools [github page](https://github.com/muzimuzhi/thmtools), with corresponding keytheorems code that shows the issue resolved. ### [\listoftheorems: filter out restated ones #7](https://github.com/muzimuzhi/thmtools/issues/7) keytheorems does not list restated theorems in the `\listofkeytheorems`. ```tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{keytheorems} \newkeytheorem{theorem} \begin{document} \begin{theorem}[store=foo] text \end{theorem} \getkeytheorem{foo} \listofkeytheorems \end{document} ``` ### [\listoftheorems: hide title #8](https://github.com/muzimuzhi/thmtools/issues/8) keytheorems provides the `no-title` key. ```tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{keytheorems} \newkeytheorem{axiom} \newkeytheorem{theorem} \begin{document} \listofkeytheorems[ignoreall,show=axiom] \listofkeytheorems[ignoreall,show=theorem,no-title] \begin{axiom} some axiom \end{axiom} \begin{theorem} some theorem \end{theorem} \begin{axiom} another axiom \end{axiom} \begin{theorem} another theorem \end{theorem} \end{document} ``` ### [Case in point: the tcolorbox key #9](https://github.com/muzimuzhi/thmtools/issues/9) keytheorems provides the `tcolorbox` and `tcolorbox-no-titlebar` keys. ```tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{keytheorems} \newkeytheorem{theorem}[ tcolorbox={ colback=blue!10, colframe=blue!75 } ] \newkeytheorem{corollary}[ tcolorbox-no-titlebar={colback=red!10} ] \begin{document} \begin{theorem} some theorem \end{theorem} \begin{corollary} some corollary \end{corollary} \end{document} ``` ### [thm-listof: document \thmtformatoptarg, new list option?
