Overview

This repository provides a LaTeX style file for use with creating consistently styled workshop excercise handouts. It should be included as a submodule at the level of a BTP workshop repository. This is so that any workshop modules, included as submodules in that workshop repository, have access to it.

What follows are details about the features available through the use of this LaTeX package.

Usage

Include the BTP package in your LaTeX project to generate the trainee version of the handout:

\usepackage{btp}

or for generating the trainer version of the handout:

\usepackage[trainermanual]{btp}

Commands

Here is a list of comands made available by this package. They allow you to define information about the title, venue, date and authorship of the workshop you intend to deliver.

• \setWorkshopTitle{}
• \setWorkshopVenue{}
• \setWorkshopDate{}
• \setWorkshopAuthor{}

Paragraph Text Environments

This style provides several paragraph text environments to make it simpler to get consistent formatting of text across your handout documents. All without needing to know too much LaTeX! Here is a list of those provided.

Environment Name	Purpose
information	For providing background information to the reader.
steps	For providing instructions on the steps the reader is required to take.
note	For providing additional information for future reference.
warning	For providing a warning which should be read before the reader continues.
questions	For posing questions to the reader.
answer	For providing the answer to the preceding question.
bonus	For providing bonus information, exercises and questions to a quickly advancing reader.
advanced	For providing advanced information, exercises and questions to a very quickly advancing reader.
lstlisting	For providing code to the reader.

To use them, simply insert text in between a pair of \begin{environment-name} and \end{environment-name} statements to have it rendered differently.
