<tmdoc-title|Defining new environments>
The <tmdtd|env-base> <abbr|d.t.d.> contains high-level markup which can be
used by the user to define new numbered environments for theorems, remarks,
exercises and figures:
<\explain|<explain-macro|new-theorem|env-name|display-name>>
This meta-macro is used for defining new theorem-like environments. The
first argument <src-arg|env-name> specifies the name for the environment
(like ``experiment'') and <src-arg|display-name> the corresponding text
(like ``Experiment''). When defining a new theorem-like environment like
<markup|experiment>, an unnumbered variant <markup|experiment*> is
automatically defined as well.
</explain>
<\explain|<explain-macro|new-remark|env-name|display-name>>
Similar as <markup|new-theorem>, but for remarks.
</explain>
<\explain|<explain-macro|new-exercise|env-name|display-name>>
Similar as <markup|new-theorem>, but for exercises.
</explain>
<\explain|<explain-macro|new-figure|env-name|display-name>>
Similar as <markup|new-theorem>, but for figures. When defining a new
type of figure, like ``picture'', the <markup|new-figure> macro defines
both the inline environment <markup|small-picture> and the
block-environment <markup|big-picture>, as well as the unnumbered
variants <markup|small-picture*> and <markup|big-picture*>.
</explain>
The theorem-like and remark-like environments belong to a common
counter-group <verbatim|theorem-env>. By default, we use American-style
numbering (one common counter for all environments). When selecting the
package <tmpackage|number-europe>, each environment uses its own counter.
All exercises and figures use their own counter-group.
More generally, the <verbatim|std-env> counter-group regroups the counters
for all standard <TeXmacs> environments. Typically, all counters in this
group are prefixed in a similar way (for instance by the number of the
chapter). Figure <reference|std-env-fig> shows how the hierarchical
organization of this counter group.
<\big-figure|<tree|<verbatim|std-env>|<tree|<verbatim|theorem-env>|<tabular*|<tformat|<table|<row|<cell|<verbatim|theorem>>>|<row|<cell|<verbatim|proposition>>>|<row|<cell|<verbatim|remark>>>|<row|<cell|<math|\<vdots\>>>>>>>>|<tree|<verbatim|exercise-env>|<tabular*|<tformat|<table|<row|<cell|<verbatim|exercise>>>|<row|<cell|<verbatim|problem>>>>>>>|<tree|<verbatim|figure-env>|<tabular*|<tformat|<table|<row|<cell|<verbatim|figure>>>|<row|<cell|<verbatim|table>>>>>>>|<verbatim|equation>|<verbatim|footnote>>>
<label|std-env-fig>Organization of the counters for the standard
<TeXmacs> environments.
</big-figure>
In addition to the standard theorem-like, remark-like, exercise-like and
figure-like environments, other numbered textual environments may be
defined using the <markup|new-env> macro. These environments may be based
on arbitrary counter-groups:
<\explain|<explain-macro|new-env|env-name|display-name|group|render>>
The first argument <src-arg|env-name> specifies the name for the
environment (like ``experiment'') and the second, <src-arg|display-name>,
the corresponding text (like ``Experiment''). The third argument is the
name of the counter <src-arg|group> to which the new environment belongs.
The last argument <src-arg|render> is the name of a binary macro for
rendering the environment. The arguments of the rendering macro are a
name (like ``Theorem 3.14'') and its body. You may use this macro to
define new environments based on counter-groups other than the standard
five <verbatim|theorem-env>, <verbatim|exercise-env>, etc. For instance,
in the standard style-sheets, <markup|new-theorem> is defined by
<\tm-fragment>
<\inactive*>
<assign|new-theorem|<macro|env|name|<new-env|<arg|env>|<arg|name>|theorem-env|render-theorem>>>
</inactive*>
</tm-fragment>
</explain>
We recall that you may add new counters or counter-groups to the
<verbatim|theorem-env> counter-group using the <markup|new-counter-group>
and <markup|add-to-counter-group> macros, as described in the section about
counters.
