I'm working in a document that has double-spacing (yuck!), and I want to establish some standards in order to make the thing look "presentable".
Currently, the only environment that has an automatic cushion of vertical space is the proof environment. I would like for the theorems to have the same effect. In other words, I want a little bit of extra space (say, 1em) between my theorems and the surrounding text. Here is a minimal example of the code which establishes the spacing.
\oddsidemargin 0.25in
\evensidemargin 0.25in
\textheight 612\p@
\textwidth 6.0in
\footskip 0.5in
\topmargin -12\p@
\headheight 1.5ex
\headsep 24\p@
\parindent 30\p@
\itemsep 0\p@ % keeps spacing within lists consistent
\parsep 0\p@ % keeps spacing within lists consistent
\parskip 0\p@ % keeps spacing b/t pars consistent
\topsep 0\p@ % consistent spacing b/t lists & paragraphs
\partopsep 0\p@ % consistent spacing b/t lists & paragraphs
\topskip 0\p@ % keeps top margin consistent
\textfloatsep 25\p@ % proper spacing for floats
\intextsep 25\p@ % proper spacing for floats
\clubpenalty= 10000 % no orphans allowed
\widowpenalty= 10000 % no widows allowed
\displaywidowpenalty= 10000 % no widows allowed in "displayed" text
\def\myskip{\vskip 9\p@}
\def\stretchv@l{1.66}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{\stretchv@l} % double spacing
\pagenumbering{roman}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.8}
I did not write this code, and I would like to know what I should add/edit in order to get the desired results. I tried to manually add space around the theorem environments, but it seems to cause more problems than not. By the way, I'm using the report document class.
\topskip=0pt
is probably a bad idea. Generally, you want the baselines of the top line per page to be aligned, not the top of the top line.utathesis

?) with a proof and a theorem to show what the problem is. I think this can be solved, but I would need a test document to play with.
