) or \end{}
command whose matching
left brace ({
) or \begin{}
precedes the declaration.
However, the \begin{}
and \end{}
of environments
you create yourself, for example, with the
\newenvironment
command, do not
count for calculating the scope of declarations.
The declaration is in effect within its scope, exept that it may be countermanded by another declaration whose scope is a subset.
However, some declarations are global; they are in effect until countermanded by another declaration. They include
\addtocounter
\newcounter
\setcounter
\pagenumbering
\thispagestyle
\newlength
\newsavebox
\newtheorem
Every declaration has an environment of the
same name. If \decl
is a declaration command, then
{\decl .... }
can also be effected by
\begin{decl} .... \end{decl}
If the declaration takes arguments these become additional arguments of the
\begin
command.
