comment End of theorem marker placement
@barbara: wow. I have to admit (rather shamefully) that "because ntheorem didn't exists" never crossed my mind as a possible answer; but now that you pointed it out, it seems so very natural.

@S.G.Sekaran The environment is just a list, so you can apply the solution given here.

@S.G.Sekaran See Edit 2 above. It now can deal with mathematical equations, both in $ and \[ ... \] forms.

switched \edef to \protected@edef to deal with math mode and some other stuff.

@zar: no. The processing doesn't even get there. I think the problem is with using \edef. (For example, using \protected@edef doesn't solve the problem, but gives a different one.) Let me play around more.

comment Is there any way to do a correct word count of a LaTeX document?
@wasteofspace: MWE? Issuing echo "how many words?" | wc -w the output is 3 as expected. If your "test latex doc" includes the standard \documentclass{article} \begin{document}... \end{document}, each of the three counts as one additional word. Those are supposed to be stripped out using the detex command in the OP. Lastly, man wc.

comment Class for my thesis (amsbook currently)… should I use memoir or KOMA-Script?
Now, memoir and KOMA are both very configurable. But both also come with pretty hefty user manuals. If the formatting requirements form a fairly short list (such as the three bullet points above), you may be better off just using the standard book class with the packages geometry, titling, titlesec, and setspace (for double spacing). The user manuals for those are quicker to read.

comment Class for my thesis (amsbook currently)… should I use memoir or KOMA-Script?
First: ask your departmental people (secretaries etc.), computer help desk, or the people in charge of graduate studies whether your university or institute already has a thesis template file for LaTeX. Most schools have very rigid guidelines on how PhD dissertations should be formatted, and when available it is much safer to use the provided document class rather than trying to hack your own and run the risk of the copy being sent back to be reformatted because you missed one minor detail.

@Zar: I don't understand what it is you want, do you mean you want the input order to be \truechoice{Choice text}{Justification} instead of \truechoice{Justification} Choice text? In that case see edit.

@Guido, unfortunately the OP wrote "I cannot thus use any of my own packages or anything else which is [sic] provided by the cls files."

comment How do I keep field names and field content separate in a latex CV?
@Stephen: Doesn't what eat up an entire line? If you refer to my comment: yes, the heading uses up an entire line, but for academic CVs the vertical real estate is cheaper than the horizontal: under each heading (for example, "publications" or "seminars given" or "work experience") maybe 10s of lines.
