SUMMARY

To create a sublemma in LaTeX, simply state that you are inside a lemma, which LaTeX automatically labels as Lemma 1. For a sublemma, you can use a command like "sublemma" and set up a counter, though it's advisable to reconsider the document structure instead. For removing paragraph indentation, use the command \noindent at the beginning of the paragraph or set the parskip to zero with \parskip0em.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document structure
  • Understanding of LaTeX counters and commands
  • Knowledge of paragraph formatting in LaTeX
  • Basic concepts of mathematical lemma formatting
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to define custom commands in LaTeX
  • Learn about LaTeX counters and their applications
  • Explore LaTeX document formatting options for paragraphs
  • Investigate best practices for structuring mathematical documents in LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, researchers, and students who are writing documents in LaTeX and need to format lemmas and paragraphs effectively.

Just say you are inside a lemma, which Latex automatically labels as Lemma 1. You'd like another lemma inside this one, call Lemma 1.1, what command do you type?

How do you make it so that when a new paragraph starts, no indenting appears?

You could probably do something by defining a command "sublemma", setting up a counter, etc. But why on Earth would you want to have a lemma inside a lemma? Instead of trying to make this in LaTeX, I'd strongly recommend revising the structure of your document. I don't know what you are writing, but you could for example call the sublemma a Lemma and then call the original lemma a proposition, theorem or corollary.

As for the second one, you can cancel the indentation of a particular paragraph by putting \noindent at the start. If you don't want any indentation at all, you can just set the parskip to zero:
Code:
\parskip0em
