I want to make an environment obj (numbered by chapter) such that the command



begin{obj}{Text 1}
Text 2
end{obj}


generates the following (assuming that this is the first obj environment in chapter 1) :



documentclass{report}   

usepackage[table]{xcolor}
usepackage{tabularx,booktabs}
usepackage{array}

newcolumntype{/}{!{textcolor{myblue}{vrule width 1.5pt}}}
newlength{Oldarrayrulewidth}
newcommand{Cline}[2]{%
noalign{globalsetlength{Oldarrayrulewidth}{arrayrulewidth}}%
noalign{globalsetlength{arrayrulewidth}{#1}}cline{#2}%
noalign{globalsetlength{arrayrulewidth}{Oldarrayrulewidth}}}
definecolor{myblue}{RGB}{32,92,195}
arrayrulecolor{myblue}

begin{document}

begin{center}
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}{ p{0.25in} p{0.05in} X }
textcolor{myblue}{textbf{1.1}} & multicolumn{2}{X}{textcolor{myblue}{Text 1}} \
Cline{2.5pt}{1-3}
& multicolumn{1}{/p{0.05in}}{} & multicolumn{1}{X}{vspace{0.0pt}
Text 2} \
Cline{1.5pt}{2-3}
end{tabularx}

          It's slightly easier to do this as a macro:



          documentclass{report}

          usepackage[table]{xcolor}
          usepackage{tabularx,booktabs}
          usepackage{array}

          newlength{Oldarrayrulewidth}
          newcommand{Cline}[2]{%
          noalign{globalsetlength{Oldarrayrulewidth}{arrayrulewidth}}%
          noalign{globalsetlength{arrayrulewidth}{#1}}cline{#2}%
          noalign{globalsetlength{arrayrulewidth}{Oldarrayrulewidth}}}
          definecolor{myblue}{RGB}{32,92,195}
          arrayrulecolor{myblue}


          newcounter{object}[chapter]
          renewcommandtheobject{thechapter.arabic{object}}
          newcommandobj[2]{%
          refstepcounter{object}
          begin{center}

          Cline{1.5pt}{2-3}
          end{tabularx}
          end{center}


          }



          begin{document}

          • I agree, the macro is better. Can you make it automatically numbered within each chapter like a theorem ? I don't want all of them to be numbered "1.1". That would defeat the point of the macro.

          • Also I get a lot of error messages on line 23 endtabularxend{center}} including "missing begin{document}". It doesn't compile for me.

          • @simplejack Sorry, missed the counter requirement. Not sure why there was a compilation error before either...both fixed now.

          • I agree, the macro is better. Can you make it automatically numbered within each chapter like a theorem ? I don't want all of them to be numbered "1.1". That would defeat the point of the macro.

          • Also I get a lot of error messages on line 23 endtabularxend{center}} including "missing begin{document}". It doesn't compile for me.
