    Summary description: Typeset exercise sheets for university courses and school classes

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hello,

    the exercisesheets package has been in development since 2008 and
    was started by Sebastian Kuhnert, I (Frank Fuhlbrück) am the
    maintainer since about 2018.

    Its features include:
    - Choice between a lightweight interface where you use enumerate etc.
    to give our exercises some structure or a more explicit interface
    with special environments like "subtasks".
    - Ability to skip exercises under certain conditions, but still
    reference them (e.g.: you generate sheet 5 and reference exercises
    from sheet 3 and 7).
    - A dedicated loading mechanism for external exercise files.
    If you have many (in our case > 300) exercises, skipping them with
    LaTeX's means within a single file becomes costly.
    With this mechanism you can reference to entire exercise without
    actually reading the file or to parts of only those which
    actually contains labels.
    - Beamer support. Create an exercise sheet with only the exercises
    and place it on your website/moodle etc. Then, while preparing
    for the class, generate the solutions in beamer mode and use a
    projector. There are options to ignore certain beamer commands
    in non-beamer mode, so you can have the same solutions as proper
    printout (not beamer's handout mode).
    If using lualatex this also works with fragile stuff (e.g., listings)
    in your solutions.

    Development happens at https://gitlab.com/texedutools/exercisesheets ,
