Formatting examples: newtheorem

Question

I am using the \newtheorem command for several things: theorems, lemmas, propositions,... But also examples. By default, \newtheorem writes everything in italics. I want everything in italics but the examples. If I use \theoremstyle{definition} neither of them are in italics, but this is not what I want. How can I do this?

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — dexteritas, Nov 29 '21 at 19:49
You might consider using a package that provides the flexibility you want. This question (possible duplicate) offers one possibility: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/38260 — barbara beeton, Dec 29 '21 at 21:15

Despite you did not provide a minimal example, you are probably in need of \theoremstyle{plain} or similar. C. f. subsection 4.1 in the documentation of amsthm.

PS: Thanks to @dexteritas for pointing out the missing minimal example.
