# How do you center a statement and italicise it without making it a theorem?

I want to have a statement in my proof with an implication sign in it, I want it centred and italicised and I want it numbered. (1) How do you do this?

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts}
\usepackage{ dsfont }

\begin{document}
$$\textit{Als X een overaftelbare deelverzameling van \mathds{R} is, dan is er een bijectie van X naar \mathds{R}.\implies it is day time.}$$
\end{document}

• Welcome to TeX.SX! Please show us a compilable code that we can play with ... – Mensch Nov 9 '14 at 17:08
• One way would be to use an equation environment: $$\textit{It is sunny \implies it is day time.}$$. But, It would be helpful if you composed a fully compilable MWE including \documentclass and the appropriate packages that sets up the problem. That way a solution that works for your particular case could e presented. – Peter Grill Nov 9 '14 at 17:15
• your question isn't very clear, in particular which number do you want (for example equation counter or a specific number sequence for implications)? Also why do you not want to make it a theorem? theroem environemnts don't have to be mathematical theorems, they are often used for remarks or notes or proofs or...a theorem to latex is just a kind of numbered set off paragraph display. Just as a list does not need to be a real list (for example center and environment are list as far as their latex implementation goes). – David Carlisle Nov 9 '14 at 17:33
• @PeterGrill this is what I needed but when I do this, it doesn't automatically make a new line. How do I solve this? – Michael Angelo Nov 9 '14 at 18:03
• @RolWezel: It makes a new line for me. I'd suggest you edit the question and add a composed a fully compilable MWE including \documentclass and the appropriate packages that sets up the problem. Not sure how to help you further without it. – Peter Grill Nov 9 '14 at 18:07

Here are a few options:

## Code:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts}
\usepackage{dsfont}

\begin{document}
$$\parbox{0.7\linewidth}{ Als X een overaftelbare deelverzameling van \mathds{R} is, dan is er een bijectie van X naar \mathds{R}. \implies it is day time.}$$
Alternatively you can use:
$$\parbox{0.5\linewidth}{Als X een overaftelbare deelverzameling van \mathds{R} is, dan is er een bijectie van X naar \mathds{R}. } \Bigg\}\implies \parbox{0.2\linewidth}{it is day time.}$$

\end{document}
