I define a new command that to number the problems in a chapter:



newcounterproblemNo %problem counter
setcounterproblemNo1 %start at one
newcommandproblem[1]textbfProblem thechapter.
arabicproblemNo #1 parsmallskipstepcounterproblemNonoindent


This code has some indentation problems:



f



I also tried to use setlengthparindent0cm but with no luck:



newcommandproblem[1]textbfProblem thechapter.arabicproblemNo 
#1 parsmallskipstepcounterproblemNosetlengthparindent0cm


ff



In fact, now the indent is zero everywhere.



Which is the right way for removing the indentation only after the problem command?



Complete code:



documentclass[12pt,twoside]book

newcounterproblemNo
setcounterproblemNo1
newcommandproblem[1]textbfProblem thechapter.
arabicproblemNo #1 parsmallskipstepcounterproblemNonoindent


begindocument

chapterProblems

problemSolve this problem:

problemSolve this problem too:

Here is an option:



enter image description here



documentclassbook

newcounterproblemNo[chapter]
renewcommandtheproblemNothechapter.arabicproblemNo
newcommandproblem[1]%
 par
 addvspacebigskipamount
 refstepcounterproblemNo%
 noindenttextbfProblem theproblemNo
 #1
 parnobreak
 smallskip
 noindentignorespaces



begindocument

chapterProblems

problemSolve this problem:
Problem statement.

problemSolve this problem too:
Problem statement.

enddocument


What changed:



  • Proper definition of problemNo counter to reset with every [chapter] and have a representation that includes the chapter number representation (thechapter).


  • A problem starts by adding some space up to bigskipamount.


  • The problemNo counter is stepped just before setting Problem X.Y; this allows for proper referencing if you use label-ref.


  • After setting the problem statement, a paragraph break is initiated without a possibility for a page break (thanks to nobreak). This avoids having Problem X.Y at the bottom of the page and the problem statement at the top of the following page.


Subsequent paragraphs of a problem statement will have a regular parindent. If you want to avoid this altogether, add setlengthparindent0pt to your preamble.



A completely different approach would be to define your problem as an environment similar to that of a theorem. However, this would require a change in your input.
