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