New on CTAN: didactic
Version: 1.6 2024-04-07 : 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. Version: 1.7 2024-04-08 : - Fixes typo in README. Thanks Petra at CTAN for spotting it! - Adds `\NewNoteType` that also creates switches for turning the note type on or off.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/didactic The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/didactic/

didactic – Tools for writing teaching material
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 is designed to be used with beamer to produce slides and beamerarticle with memoir to produce notes and handouts from the same source.
