The style here was taken from the style used at Poincare conjecture. Nice, isn't it?
it's revolting. A plain BLOCKQUOTE tag will suffice. When we one day switch to XML we'll be able to use tags like THEOREM and have a consistent look across Wikipedia. Until then, please don't impose your sense of aesthetics upon the reader -- Tarquin 10:56 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I'm sorry you don't like it. It's not my idea: I copied from another article, and various people seem to have propagated it to various other appropriate articles. I agree, a piece of Wiki syntax <theorem> </theorem>, which generates appropriately styled DIVs would be ideal. For the moment, IMHO, this makes various articles containing statements of theorems and axioms look much nicer -- The Anome 11:01 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)
