. - Rich pedagogical callout environments for mathematics (theorem, lemma, proposition, corollary, proof, definition), explanations (example, remark, note, warning, tip, takeaways), and assessments (exercise, solution, codebox).
- Zero heavy external dependencies: Built with a lightweight, native box engine for seamless compilation out-of-the-box across TeX Live, MiKTeX, and Overleaf.
