Using amsthm package, is there an elegant way to automatically get a \newpage before every theorem?
Edit: MWE featuring Christian Hupfer's suggestion
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
% \makeatletter
% \g@addto@macro{\thm}{\clearpage}
% \makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{thm}
There are infinitely many prime numbers.
\end{thm}
% \newpage
\begin{thm}
$\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
\end{thm}
\end{document}
Since the definition of thm as done by amsthm is a little bit tricky, I suggest to use the etoolbox package and add
\AtBeginEnvironment{thm}{\clearpage}
This is safe and will add the clear page before the theorem headline (and not disrupting the display)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
\AtBeginEnvironment{thm}{%
\clearpage%
}
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\begin{thm}
There are infinitely many prime numbers.
\end{thm}
\begin{thm}
$\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
\end{thm}
\end{document}
\clearpage and \newpage?
\clearpage will always issue a new page and emitting all pending floats before, i.e. the will be flushed to the previous page, then the page break occurs. A \newpage for example will not eject a new page in case of being specified in a column setup, it will end the local column only then. In most cases \clearpage is the right approach... For instance, I can hardly remember setups where I needed \newpage
theorem,\makeatletter\g@addto@macro{\theorem}{\clearpage}\makeatothershould work... however, this is untested -- as usual, provide a compilable document, please\begin{thm}and\end{thm) in the next.
