colorist bundle: write you documents in a colorful way

New documentations are still being written. For now, only the core code is included in TeX Live and MiKTeX (old documentations have been removed from the distribution).

Introduction

colorist is a collection of styles and classes that helps you to typeset articles and books with a colorful design.

rg/pkg/hyperref), ifoddpage, iftex, imakeidx, indentfirst, lua-widow-control, marginnote, mathpazo, mathtools, newpx, nowidow, parskip, pgf, projlib, regexpatch, relsize, silence, tcolorbox, tikzpagenodes, titlesec, titletoc, wrapfig2, ulem.

It mainly consists of two parts.

• Main part:
  • colorist.sty : interface of the main style
    • colorist-fancy.sty : the style "fancy"
      • ... and more styles to come (currently on schedule: "plain", "classical", "modern", "simple", "elegant", "flow", "stream")
    • colorart.cls : class for typesetting articles
    • colorbook.cls : class for typesetting books

They can be used with any major TeX engine. Currently they have native
support to English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese
(European and Brazilian) and Spanish typesetting.

• Derivative part:
  • lebhart.cls : enhanced version of colorart
    • beaulivre.cls : enhanced version of colorbook

They are similar to the main classes, but have Unicode support, thus can
only be used with either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. Currently, they have native
support to Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, French, German,
Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Russian and Spanish
typesetting, and also use more beautiful fonts.
