Sep 22	comment	Are we inside an edef? @Andrew: No, the `\voodoo` needs to be prepared in advance.

Sep 14	comment	*thmtools: theorem VI.2.1 = dual of theorem VI.2.1** I'm slightly confused. It sounds to me like you want `[restate=...]` and the restated version is marked by having its number starred? (What happens to subordinate equation numbers? I can't even remember what `thmtools` does in that case, I hate restate that much :D )
Sep 13	comment	Is it safe to temporarily redefine \and, \or, and \not? Slight problem: some documentclasses need their specific definition of `\and` in the headers. (Journal styles with authors in header, mostly.)
Sep 12	comment	thmtools: How to prevent pagebreak between theorem and proof? I think `proof` is pretty much always a list and lists tend to insert a negative penalty before they start (i.e., a break between theorem and proof is made more favourable than a break after the first line of the proof).
Sep 12	comment	How to get this theorem numbering to work? Since you don't usually get to have anything starting from 0 anywhere in LaTeX, this is not trivially possible in thmtools. Maybe what you want re: starting from 5 is not to reset the section counter at all for each chapter, i.e. (chapter, section) should behave like (part, chapter)?
Aug 22	answered	Is there a reason to use \begin{environment} \end{environment} rather than \environment \endenvironment?
Aug 5	comment	Sectioning paragraphs, such as for different cases inside a proof IMO, just cope with the `\qedhere`. `amsthm`'s behaviour is really quite simple once you get it: you need `\qedhere` if your environment ends with a list (in the TeXnical sense), which is, for common intents and purposes, displayed equations, subtheorems -- as you found out -- and itemize/enumerate. NTheorem's alternative approach is fragile and requires multiple passes, so yes, endmarks are tricky.

Jun 14	comment	Difference between \relax and % for ending a line @David: point taken, neither can % end a delimited argument because it's removed too early. Can't think why I'd be at the end of the line and unconditionally gobbling something, but maybe that occurs if one doesn't go the "usual" routine of making ^M active.

Jun 14	comment	How to undo a \def (i.e., Need a \undef capability) ... conditional on the fact that no control sequence named `\@undefined` is defined. (But I think that's assumed at some places in the kernel as well, so \def\@undefined{} would likely break a lot of stuff anyway, so the user will notice.)

Jun 13	comment	How can I restrict the placement of images? The order of figures in the created output will usually match the order in the source. (May not be true you're mixing `figure` with non-floating figure mechanisms, like the ones where text is supposed to float around the side of the picture.)

Jun 10	comment	Why does \dimexpr swallow \relax? Well, one alternative would be something like TeX' "keep on expanding until you find something you don't expect" semantics when parsing values, which is ... well, it's intuitive once you've gotten used to it. ;)
