Summary description: A tag-based language for print-ready teaching worksheets, built on LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
The scholatex package provides a tag-based language for creating teaching worksheets with LuaLaTeX. Version 2.1 adds: - Mathematical vocabulary: number sets (NN, ZZ, QQ, RR, CC, ...), quantifiers (forall, exists), logical connectives (and, or, lnot), implication and equivalence (=>/implies, <=>/iff), set relations (in, subset, cup, cap, setminus, emptyset), integer part (floor, ceil, round), one-argument wrappers (set, abr), and accents (bar/conj, not, hat, tilde). - Negation with a single ! prefix (e.g., !in for ∉, !exists for ∄, !subseteq for ⊈). - Limit arrow: arrow(n to +inf) sets a long right arrow with its condition underneath, for the "u_n → l" phrasing in running maths. - Function studies: <fn> builds a function object (name, formula, abscissas, derivative signs, variation data); <vartab> renders its variation table in four shapes (full, classic, convexity, value table); <plot> draws its curve via pgfplots with pole handling. - Section numbering styles: num, roman, ROMAN, alpha, ALPHA, settable per level with no inherited prefix. - Colours are now CamelCase only -- breaking change: lowercase keywords (red, navy, ...) are removed; a compile error names the CamelCase replacement. The package requires LuaLaTeX and depends on tcolorbox, tabularray, unicode-math, fontspec, and pgfplots.

scholatex – A tag-based language for print-ready teaching worksheets, built on LuaLaTeX
scholatex is a LuaLaTeX document class for teachers who need print-ready worksheets without writing LaTeX. The author writes a single .tex file in a compact, readable tag language; the class translates it to LaTeX at compile time and produces output of full LaTeX quality.
