[Tex/LaTex] Changing style of Proof

amsthmformattingtheorems

I'm using the \begin{proof} of the amsthm package. And I want to change the style of the Proof word that is added in the beginning. By default it is italic, I want to make it bold. How can I do it?

How about:

\renewenvironment{proof}{{\bfseries Proof}}{*something*}

*something* - something to be executed after environment argument is processed (possibly empty).

[Tex/LaTex] Mimicking the `proof` environment

You can do this just by patching in a few optional commands to the proof environment itself.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\newenvironment{proofoutline}
 {\renewcommand\qedsymbol{}\proof[Proof outline]}
 {\endproof}
\begin{document}

\begin{proofoutline}
 This is not a proof.
\end{proofoutline}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Custom proof environment

if you're using amsthm, you don't need another proof environment. the features you want are already built in.

to get a heading "Proof of lemma", use

\begin{proof}[Proof of lemma]

to omit the box, just before \end{proof} insert

\renewcommand{\qedsymbol}{}

(this does not persist after the proof ends.)

both features are described in the manual: texdoc amsthm
