Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

scholatex 1.1 extends the maths mini-language with a full integral
family (definite, multiple with Fubini ordering, contour, principal
value and average integrals), upright function and trigonometry names,
and Leibniz and partial derivatives with ISO 80000-2 upright differentials.
Big operators (sum, prod, lim) are now set in display style.
The colour set now covers all 151 xcolor svgnames colours.
Cross-platform installation is documented for macOS, Linux and Windows.

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 ree, !exists for
rea, !subseteq for ree).
- Limit arrow: arrow(n to +inf) sets a long right arrow with its
condition underneath, for the "u_n raA 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.

package.

Version: 2.3

Summary description: A tag-based language for print-ready teaching worksheets, built on LuaLaTeX

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
scholatex 2.3 rCo this release brings together the additions of versions 2.2 and 2.3.

Figure drawing (2.3): the new <draw> block renders plane geometric figures from a description alone rCo the shape is named, its measurements given, and coordinates are computed trigonometrically and emitted as hard TikZ numbers. It covers triangles by every classical definition, quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite), regular polygons by name or point count, and circles (by centre and radius, circumscribed through three points, or inscribed). Equal-side and right-angle marks and per-side length labels are opt-in, with single and double ticks telling apart pairs of different lengths. Composite figures share points and edges; loops, rotation and low-level point and line primitives allow free-form drawings.

Mathematical vocabulary (2.2): the inline maths mini-language gains a full probability and statistics vocabulary (blackboard operators, spread, distributions, distribution and density functions), counting (binomial coefficient, arrangement, factorial), named linear-algebra operators, differential operators, Landau notation, integral transforms, surface and volume integrals, number theory, and calculation templates. Fixes include extensible parentheses over a fraction, higher-order differentials, and clearer plot axes.

scholatex 2.5 rCo the lyc|-e release.

New: the equation form <fn f(x) = (x+2)(x-3)> declares a function as the board does; computes sign tables from the factored expression (exact zeros, forbidden values, checked invariants); weighted probability trees with automatic complements; areas, cobwebs and the normal/binomial laws in ; five descriptive statistics figures (bars, histogram-as-density, pie, boxplot, scatter with least-squares fit); the trigonometric circle with exact remarkable values; the number line, declared or solved from an inequality; six solids in cabinet projection with computed hidden edges; a full transcendental function library (circular, hyperbolic, their inverses, exp/ln/log/logb) shared between computed values and plots; a document-wide precision option for display rounding, and scale: on every drawing.

Also: a hardened untrusted mode (instruction and memory limits), smarter label placement everywhere (points, vertices, axes, pies), and example files regrouped one domain per file. Full details in CHANGELOG.md.
