+Typesetting exercises: the exercise package
+===========================================
+
+The package helps to typeset exercises or list of exercises within any
+document.
+
+Exercises, questions, sub-questions are automatically numbered. It is
+possible to put answers in the same document, and display them
+immediately, later in the document or not at all.
+
+The layout of exercise is fully customisable. It is then possible to typeset
+long problems, short exercises, questionnaires, etc.
+
+Usage of the babel package is detected, but not fully supported by now
+(only english and french are implemented). See documentation for more
+information.
