In summary, the conversation discusses how to create a lemma within a lemma in LaTeX, with the suggestion to revise the document's structure instead. It also mentions a command for cancelling indentation at the start of a new paragraph, as well as setting the parskip to zero to remove all indentation.

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

To create Lemma 1.1 inside Lemma 1, the command to use is \begin{lemma} and \end{lemma}. This will automatically label the inner lemma as Lemma 1.1. To remove indentation for a new paragraph, use the command \noindent at the beginning of the paragraph. This will prevent the paragraph from being indented.
 

FAQ: Create Latex Lemma 1.1: No Indentation Needed

What is a latex lemma?

A latex lemma is a mathematical statement or theorem that is written using LaTeX, a typesetting system commonly used for mathematical and scientific documents.

Why is no indentation needed for Lemma 1.1?

No indentation is needed for Lemma 1.1 because it is a standalone statement that does not require any introductory text or context. Indentation is typically used to indicate the start of a new paragraph or to separate different sections of a document.

Can I use this lemma in my own research?

Yes, you can use Lemma 1.1 in your own research as long as you properly cite the source where it was originally published. It is important to give credit to the original author and to avoid plagiarism.

Is it necessary to include a proof for Lemma 1.1?

It depends on the context and purpose of your document. If you are using the lemma as a reference or supporting evidence in your research, then a proof may not be necessary. However, if the lemma is the main focus of your document, then a proof would be appropriate.

Can I modify the wording of Lemma 1.1?

Yes, you can modify the wording of Lemma 1.1 as long as the meaning and essence of the statement remains the same. However, if you are referencing the original source, it is important to accurately quote the lemma as it was originally written.
