    Summary description: Tools for writing teaching material

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

    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@CTAN for spotting it!
    - Adds `\NewNoteType` that also creates switches for turning the
    note type on or off.
