Non italic text in theorems, definitions, examples
amsthm
has three separate predefined styles:
\theoremstyle{plain}
is the default. it sets the text in italic and adds extra space above and below the \newtheorem
s listed below it in the input. it is recommended for theorems, corollaries, lemmas, propositions, conjectures, criteria, and (possibly; depends on the subject area) algorithms.
\theoremstyle{definition}
adds extra space above and below, but sets the text in roman. it is recommended for definitions, conditions, problems, and examples; i've alse seen it used for exercises.
\theoremstyle{remark}
is set in roman, with no additional space above or below. it is recommended for remarks, notes, notation, claims, summaries, acknowledgments, cases, and conclusions.
these recommendations are listed in the amsthm
documentation; type texdoc amsthm
if you have a tex live installation, or read it here.
The amsthm
package has the option to define the custom theorem
environment from scratch as stated in the manual (I am copying for the convenience)
\newtheoremstyle{note}% <name>
{3pt}% <Space above>
{3pt}% <Space below>
{}% <Body font>
{}% <Indent amount>
{\itshape}% <Theorem head font>
{:}% <Punctuation after theorem head>
{.5em}% <Space after theorem headi>
{}% <Theorem head spec (can be left empty, meaning `normal')>
You can change {\itshape}
to {\upshape}
. On the other hand you can simply use the remark
or definition
templates.
Try the following:
\documentclass{article}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\begin{document}
\begin{theorem}
\normalfont If $A$, then $B$.
\end{theorem}
\end{document}
