TeX - LaTeX Asked on November 22, 2020
After poring over this site and the tcolorbox
documentation for over an hour, I can’t figure out how to reset the equation counter inside my derivation
environment. I wrote the old version with mdframed
and there it was as simple as setcounter{equation}{0}
at the beginning of the environment, but that obviously doesn’t work here. I need the numbering to start over with each instance of derivation
. I have a feeling it’s trivial and I’m just not seeing it.
My MWE:
% !TEX TS-program = lualatexmk
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{tcolorbox}
tcbuselibrary{theorems}
newtcolorbox[auto counter]{derivation}{%
ams align,%
title={DERIVATION thetcbcounter},%
fonttitle=bfseries,%
label={derivation@thetcbcounter},
coltitle=black,%
colback=orange!25,%
colframe=orange!60%
%colback=orange!5!white,%
%colframe=orange!75!black%
}%
begin{document}
begin{derivation}
x + y &= z && text{given}
y &= z - x && text{solve for (y)}
end{derivation}
begin{derivation}
gamma &= frac{1}{sqrt{1-v^2}} && text{definition}
v &= sqrt{1-frac{1}{gamma^2}} && text{solve for (v)}
end{derivation}
end{document}
There are various hooks that allow one to execute some code at various stages of the construction of the box. The following uses code
and after
. It also redefines and restores equation numbering, similar to the answers to this question. Note, however, that I do not want to make the impression that this is a super stable solution. I did not check whether this works with hyperref, nor did I do other cross-checks. Yet a conceivably more stable solution, which may or may not make use of future versions of the LaTeX kernel, may possibly use the same keys as in this code.
