[Tex/LaTex] Enumerating inside a proposition and inside a proof

Question

I have one problem with enumerating. The symbols for items look differently when the enumerating is done ''inside'' propositions from the enumerating done ''inside'' a proof.

The code

\documentclass[11pt,a5paperfootinclude=true,headinclude=true]{scrbook} % KOMA-Script book
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}                
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[linedheaders,parts,pdfspacing]{classicthesis} % ,manychapters
\usepackage[bitstream-charter]{mathdesign}
%\usepackage[osf]{libertine}
\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}






\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
 \usepackage{multicol}
 \usepackage{IEEEtrantools}

\usepackage{anysize}
\marginsize{0.1\paperwidth}{0.1\paperheight}{2cm}{2cm}
\newcommand{\bigslant}[2]{{\raisebox{.2em}{$#1$}\left/\raisebox{-.2em}{$#2$}\right.}}

\usepackage{enumerate}



\begin{document}



\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[chapter] % reset theorem numbering for each chapter

\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition} % definition numbers are dependent on theorem numbers
\newtheorem{exmp}[thm]{Example}

\theoremstyle{corollary}
\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}

\theoremstyle{lemma}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}

\theoremstyle{proposition}
\newtheorem{prop}[thm]{Proposition}
\newcommand{\ndiv}{\hspace{-4pt}\not|\hspace{2pt}}

\begin{prop}
\begin{enumerate}[(a)] % (a), (b), (c), ...
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{prop}

\begin{proof}
\begin{enumerate}[(a)] % (a), (b), (c), ...
\item
\item
\end{enumerate}
\end{proof}


\end{document}

and the result

Is there any remedy for this, so they look identical or is it impossible? Can we also make a reference to the enumerated item?

Thank you

Answer 1

I'd use the enumitem package that's much more flexible than enumerate and define a new environment for that kind of enumerations in theorems and proofs.

\documentclass[11pt,a5paper,footinclude=true,headinclude=true]{scrbook} % KOMA-Script book
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[linedheaders,parts,pdfspacing]{classicthesis} % ,manychapters
\usepackage[bitstream-charter]{mathdesign}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}

\usepackage{enumitem}

\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[chapter] % reset theorem numbering for each chapter
\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
\newtheorem{prop}[thm]{Proposition}

\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition} % definition numbers are dependent on theorem numbers
\newtheorem{exmp}[thm]{Example}

\newenvironment{roster}
 {\begin{enumerate}[font=\upshape,label=(\alph*)]}
 {\end{enumerate}}


\begin{document}



\begin{prop}
\begin{roster}
\item Something
\item Something else
\end{roster}
\end{prop}

\begin{proof}
\begin{roster}
\item Easy
\item The same\qedhere
\end{roster}
\end{proof}


\end{document}

Note that the theorem declarations should go before \begin{document} and that you're using inexistent styles. I removed the inessential bits.

For ending a proof within an enumeration, use \qedhere, so that the tombstone will be placed on the last line.
