I made a new theorem environement for a document but when the theorem is at the end of a page Latex cut the title and the core of the theorem in two pages. How can I prevent that (I can't put \ \ * instead of \newline as an argument for puncthead, I get errors).

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\title{Test}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm, thmtools}

\declaretheoremstyle[
spaceabove=6pt, 
spacebelow=6pt, 
headfont=\normalfont\bfseries, 
notefont=\em\mdseries, 
notebraces={(}{)}, 
headpunct={},
bodyfont=\itshape, 
postheadspace=\newline]{theorem}

\declaretheorem[style=theorem, numbered=no,
name=Theorem, 
refname={theorem,theorems}, 
Refname={Theorem,Theorems}]{theorem}

    could you fix your example to be an example of the issue, so people can test answers, currently it loads a lot of unrelated packages and has \end{document} with no \begin so it is hard to use to test anything. – David Carlisle Oct 25 '18 at 20:18
  • Thank you for your concern, I modified a bit but Skillmon gave a good solution anyway! – WrabbitW Oct 25 '18 at 20:39
  • @WrabbitW your modification did make things worse, imho. It is still not testable with your code. You should've included a usage example (like the \begin{document}...\end{document} block from my answer) instead of just removing the \end{document}. – Skillmon Oct 26 '18 at 08:57

You could use the option headformat instead of postheadspace and there include \@afterheading (or anything else that is supposed to forbid page breaks there):

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\title{Test}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsthm, thmtools}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\makeatletter
\declaretheoremstyle[
spaceabove=6pt, 
spacebelow=6pt, 
headfont=\normalfont\bfseries, 
notefont=\em\mdseries, 
notebraces={(}{)}, 
headpunct={},
bodyfont=\itshape, 
headformat=\NAME\ \NOTE\\\@afterheading,
]{theorem}
\makeatother

\declaretheorem[style=theorem, numbered=no,
name=Theorem, 
refname={theorem,theorems}, 
Refname={Theorem,Theorems}]{theorem}

\begin{document}
\rule{\linewidth}{.95\textheight}
\begin{theorem}[note]
  This is some content, just to check whether everything works out as we want it
  to.
\end{theorem}
\end{document}

With headformat and \@afterheading:

Your version of the setup (just to show that there would be a page break):

  • Thank you it works perfectly! If you have time could you explain the commands \NAME and \NOTE\@afterreading please? – WrabbitW Oct 25 '18 at 20:29
  • @WrabbitW \NAME and \NOTE are used by thmtools as place holders for the name and the note of the theorem (there additionally is \NUMBER, but since those are not numbered I left that one out). \@afterheading is defined by the LaTeX kernel and is added after section titles and stuff. It should prevent page breaks (and has some other things it's supposed to do, e.g. to prevent indentation of the first paragraph, etc.) – Skillmon Oct 25 '18 at 20:32
  • I don't understand why @afterreading works and \* is not supported? – WrabbitW Oct 25 '18 at 20:41
  • @WrabbitW it's \@afterheading not \@afterreading :) \\* works by using \nobreak which sets the penalty for a page break very high (10000, the biggest TeX supports). \@afterheading sets \everypar to set the club penalty to 10000 for the first paragraph, so works differently internally. The rest is TeX magic :) – Skillmon Oct 26 '18 at 09:02
  • If I got it right the penalty is the distance between two lines or pages that Latex tries to minimize. So by setting it to 10000 it let latex think that even if the space between Theorem and the core text is big (for example when it have to change page) Latex still thinks it's a one piece block? – WrabbitW Oct 26 '18 at 15:01
  • @WrabbitW TeX tries to minimize the penalties. There are different kinds of penalties. But perhaps I'm not the best to explain this stuff. Maybe you can find other questions here which deal with penalties. – Skillmon Oct 26 '18 at 16:55
