The typed-checklist package

Copyright (C) 2013-2022 Richard Grewe

Released under the LaTeX Project Public License version 1.3c or later

Purpose

The main goal of the typed-checklist package is to provide means for typesetting checklists in a way that stipulates users to explicitly distinguish checklists for goals, for tasks, for artifacts, and for milestones - i.e., the type of checklist entries. The intention behind this is that a user of the package is coerced to think about what kind of entries he/she adds to the checklist. This shall yield a clearer result and, in the long run, help with training to distinguish entries of different types.

Availability

The typed-checklist package is on CTAN, where you can also find the documentation, as well as on github.
