This package provides macros and environments useful for writing teaching
material. It provides more semantic environments on top of the standard
definition
, theorem
, and friends: for instance, exercise
, activity
and
question
. These are suitably colour coded when used with Beamer. They occur
as "normal" text in handouts produced by beamerarticle
(same style as
definition
usually has).
It also provides macros for typesetting code listings and output side by side.
Finally, it modifies the appearance of beamer
(Berlin based theme) and
memoir
(Tufte style layout), if loaded. It's designed to be used with
beamer
to produce slides and beamerarticle
with memoir
to produce notes,
and handouts from the same source.
To use the package, you only need to install didactic.sty
in a place where
your LaTeX distribution can find it. For a local installation, you can put it
in the same directory as your document, or in ~/texmf/tex/latex/didactic/
.
Actually, for the latter, you can simply do the following:
mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex
cd ~/texmf/tex/latex
git clone https://github.com/dbosk/didactic.git
cd didactic
make all
That will build both didactic.sty
and didactic.pdf
. The documentation is
located in didactic.pdf
.
