I need to create a new environment that works like:



beginexplanation 
Here starts the explanation ... 
 endexplanation


In the document it should look like:




Explanation. Here starts the explanation ...




Still being relatively new to TeX I struggle to get the result I want.
I started with 



documentclass[10pt,a4paper]article
usepackage[latin1]inputenc
usepackageamsmath
usepackageamsfonts
usepackageamssymb
usepackagegraphicx 
newenvironmentexplanationtextbfExplanation. 
begindocument 
enddocument


but I don't know how to continue. Does anyone know how to continue?

    You probably want something more like newenvironmentpexplanationpartextbfExplanation. itshapeignorespacespar. But I guess things should be slightly more sophisticated. Have a look at amsthm.

You will want to start a new paragraph for your environment and you need an itshape. You could try



newenvironmentpexplanationpartextbfExplanation. itshapeignorespacespar


But I'd rather suggest to use a theorem package like amsthm. Things are much easier there



documentclass[10pt,a4paper]article
usepackage[latin1]inputenc
usepackageamsmath
usepackageamssymb

usepackagekantlipsum% for the example text

% with amsthm
usepackageamsthm
theoremstyleplain
newtheorem*explanationExplanation

% manually
newenvironmentpexplanationpartextbfExplanation. itshapeignorespacespar

begindocument 
kant[1]
beginexplanation
Here starts the explanation ...
endexplanation
kant[2]
beginpexplanation
Here starts the explanation ...
endpexplanation
kant[3]
enddocument


screenshot of the MWE: The first **Explanation.** is shown in bold on a new line without indentation. The explanation is set off from the surrounding paragraphs by vertical space. The second **Explanation.** is indented like the beginning of a normal paragraph, it is not set off by vertical space.



You can have your explanations counted with amsthm if you use



newtheoremexplanationExplanation


(without the star) instead of newtheorem*.



If you use pexplanation you'll need more code



newcounterpexplanation
newenvironmentpexplanation%
 par
 refstepcounterpexplanation%
 textbfExplanation thepexplanation. %
 itshape
 ignorespaces
par

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
