Summary description: A French-prose document composition language
Announcement text:
English: texecole is a new LuaLaTeX document class for teachers who want print-ready worksheets without writing LaTeX. Documents are written in a French-only prose tag language (no anglicisms), which the class translates to LaTeX at compile time. It covers layout frames and grids, tables, images, a math mini-language (fractions, sums, integrals, derivatives, matrices), function plotting, plane and solid geometry, and statistics/probability diagrams. An internal computation engine handles most needs; Python (SymPy/SciPy) can be used for extended symbolic and numeric computation. French: texecole est une nouvelle classe LuaLaTeX construite autour d'un langage de balises en prose française (sans anglicisme), traduit en LaTeX à la compilation. Elle s'adresse à toute personne produisant des documents scientifiques, techniques ou pédagogiques : élèves, étudiants, enseignants, chercheurs, ingénieurs, auteurs de documentation. Elle couvre les cadres et grilles, les tableaux, les images, un mini-langage mathématique (fractions, sommes, intégrales, dérivées, matrices), les graphiques de fonctions, la géométrie plane et les solides, ainsi que les statistiques et probabilités. Un moteur de calcul interne couvre l'essentiel des besoins ; Python (SymPy/SciPy) peut être utilisé pour le calcul formel et numérique étendu.
