didactic

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.

Installation

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.
