Template:Theorem

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template formats mathematical theorems.

Usage

For example:

{{theorem
| note=Existence of an irrational number
| contents=<math>\sqrt{2}</math> is irrational.
}}

yields

Theorem (Existence of an irrational number) — [math]\displaystyle{ \sqrt{2} }[/math] is irrational.

Only the contents parameter is obligatory.

Note: Pipe characters (|) must be escaped as {{!}} or {{pipe}}, equals signs must be escaped as {{=}} (this may apply to tags as well, e.g. <div style{{=}}"…">), and other special characters and character sequences may need to be escaped accordingly, except for ones inside <nowiki>, <pre>, <math>, and <syntaxhighlight> tags.
