Theorems & environments

latex-env: theorem (or lemma, definition, corollary, proposition, example) wraps a note in the matching amsthm environment with its own counter. A wikilink to it reads "Lemma 1.2", not just "Theorem". proof, remark and note stay unnumbered. Any other value becomes a custom environment defined in your template, including per-note metadata via \nope<key> commands.
