Ignoring specific ampersand formatting on a specific line of an align block if you \usepackage{mathtools} you can use \mathllap{...}. it would work nicely in this situation. |

defining my own proof environment? this "box" at the end is quite invisible. and if the proof ends with a display or a list, there's an extra blank line. |

defining my own proof environment? the box won't be there if the proof ends with a display or a list. regarding ending with a display, that's not great style; better to finish off with text as in this example. but a list might be harder to avoid. |

Applying textbf and ttfamily simultaneously @egreg -- okay. +1 there, and vote to close, and hope enough other people notice to kick the new answer up from the bottom. |

Using both a double-story and single-story g in math mode most fonts i'm familiar with use the single-story g in italic, and the double-story one in roman; i can't think of any font suitable for math that has both forms in italic. however, computer modern does have a slanted roman, which has the two-story g, so you could use \mathsl{g} for the two-story form. (don't expect to find this for all fonts.) |

Applying textbf and ttfamily simultaneously @egreg -- your suggestion to use \usepackage[lighttt]{lmodern} isn't clearly presented in the cited reference, and it would make a much better answer if it were. a logical place to add it there would be in Ulrike's answer, but that would make nonsense out of some of the comments. i'm all for enhancing and consolidating, but i think this one is a bit tricky. |

Setting memoir's \pagestyle within an environemnt no, you've misunderstood. every page starts with an assigned style. if anything is set on that page, the style is "frozen", and you need to use \thispagestyle to change it. that's what's happening when you set \pagestyle within an environment -- it won't change until the next page. |

Setting memoir's \pagestyle within an environemnt\pagestyle and \thispagestyle have different functions. \pagestyle sets the style globally -- but very often, the first page of some segment (e.g. \chapter) sets a particular page style that overrules the global setting. that's when \thispagestyle comes into play -- to reset the style of the current page. so it sounds like you want (and need) both. |

What style/font is this? addition of alignment of | closes up the spacing more than appropriat. maybe \mid instead of |? (anyhow, nice "drop cap" for the theorem number.) |

What style/font is this? alignment of the equations is not simply align* from amsmath -- the original example shows the left-hand side aligned flush left. can probably be done with alignat* but i haven't tried. |

List of agreed transliterations for TeX related logos for ebook publications? list needs things like "Texmaker", "TeXShop" and "Textures". facilities like these aren't always "uppercased" in the "expected" manner, even though they're usually not rendered with the (non-ascii) tex logo. |
