Does this mean that you convert the TeXmacs files into Html,
or are your students assumed to use TeXmacs themselves?

The recommended way for this is to use

Insert -> Fold -> Folded -> Environment

In the "always visible" branch, you put the theorem itself.
In the "unfolded branch", you put the proof.
You may click on the circle in the margin to fold/unfold.
You might prefer to send the "margins on screen" to '10mm' instead of '5mm'.

If you want to export the folded environments to Html,
then you should also select the 'html-fold' package.

Best wishes, --Joris
