==================================================================
The jslectureplanner bundle
A set of LaTeX packages to help managing university courses.
Maintained by Jürgen Spitzmüller
E-mail: juergen (at) spitzmueller (dot) org
Code repository and issue tracker:
https://github.com/jspitz/jslectureplanner
Released under the LaTeX Project Public License v1.3 or later
See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
==================================================================
== PURPOSE ==
The jslectureplanner bundle facilitates the generation and managment
of university course material. It provides an interface to set up and
access centralized course data that can be reused in all course documents.
Furthermore, it is able to calculate the session dates of a whole semester
and generate course programs, if the sessions follow at regular intervals
and the date of the first session is specified. Moreover, it can be used
to generate a sectioned course bibliography via biblatex.
Next to the main, title-giving package, the bundle includes a package
that helps generating course member and presence lists.
== CONTENTS ==
The package consists of the following files:
* jslectureplanner.sty (the main LaTeX package)
* jsmembertable.sty (LaTeX package to generate course member and presence lists)
* german-default.lps (German 'model' style file with default settings)
* cologne.lps (German style file attempted at the University of Cologne)
* jslectureplanner.pdf (documentation)
* jslectureplanner.tex (documentation source)
* README (this very file)
The following example files are included:
* metadata.tex: example metadata file
* lectureprogram.tex: example course program
* lectureprogram.pdf
* lecturescript.tex: example course script
* lecturescript.pdf
* lecturepresentation.tex: example course presentation
* lecturepresentation.pdf
* lecturehandout.tex: example course handout
* lecturehandout.pdf
* lecpresbody.tex: common body of presentation/handout
* lecturebib.tex: example course bibliography
* lecturebib.pdf
* lectureplanner-examples.bib: example bibliography data
* membertable.tex: example member table
* membertable.pdf
* presencetable.tex: example presence table
* presencetable.pdf
* preslist.tex: example student presentation list
* preslist.pdf
== DOCUMENTATION ==
See the included manual jslectureplanner.pdf for usage
instructions; also have a look at the example files.
== CHANGES ==
* V. 1.9 (2020-02-04): - Allow \SetBeamerFrameBreak within SessionBlock.
- Fix \SetAutoOffset at first session and add optional argument
to alter first session (fix contributed by Richard Zach).
* V. 1.8 (2019-02-06): - Add extradate option to \NewSession to support fix dates.
- Add possibility to enter exam dates that are not added to
the standard program (option exam of \NewSession).
Also add macros to display them separately (\makeexamprogram,
\makebeamerexamprogram) and to access their session number
(\examsesno).
- Switch input format of \LecStartDate to ISO (YYYY-MM-DD).
The old format (DD/MM/YYYY) is still supported for backwards
compatibility.
- Add macros to receive session block numbers (\sesblocknumber,
\SessionBlockNumber{<session no>} and \AdjSessionBlockNumber).
- Add unstyled date formats which allow preceding \DTMsetdatestyle
(the short and long date formats would override such settings).
- Add support for lecture and session start time, duration and thus
also end time calculation.
- Add support for displaying the next semester (\adjsemester and
\adjsemesterverb).
* V. 1.7 (2018-12-14): - Allow options in \makebeamerprogram also with blocksonly.
- Add overlayarg option to \makebeamerprogram.
- Add macros to receive session block titles (\sesblocktitle,
\SessionBlockTitle{<session no>} and \AdjSessionBlockTitle).
* V. 1.6 (2018-09-26): - Do not output session title-subtitle separator if there is no
subtitle.
- Add "blocksonly" and "uncover" options to \makebeamerprogram.
- Add "draft" option to \NewSession.
* V 1.5 (2017-03-12): - Add "english" style file (proof of concept).
- Add datakeys option to the jsmembertable package.
- Add package option "sestitlesep" and macro \SessionTitleSep that
allow for the definition of a global session title-subtitle
separator.
* V. 1.4 (2016-10-19): - Add instructor short forms for lecture and session.
- Add starred version of \sesinstructor that only produces output
if the session instructor differs from the general course instructor.
- All short{instructor|title} macros now output the long version if no
short form was defined.
- Add boolean tests for unique short forms and session instructors.
* V. 1.3 (2016-08-31): - BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE! Use datetime2 instead of datetime
and advdate. This changes the interface to set the lecture date
format. Please refer to the documentation for details.
- Fix output of \SetBreaks when no span argument is given.
- Protect content of some \Lec* macros and options to allow for
commas in titles etc.
- Small microtypographic improvement in default definition of
the lecture date format.
* V. 1.2 (2016-05-11): - Fix line breaking with empty session titles before course
breaks.
- New commands \AdjSessionFullTitle, \AdjSessionDate,
\AdjSessionShortTitle, \AdjSessionTitle, \AdjSessionShortDate,
\AdjSessionRoom, \AdjSessionInstructor, \AdjSessionPresStudents
* V. 1.1 (2015-07-15): - Include and document the companion package jsmembertable.
- Add support for student presentation lists (new macros
\makepreslist, \makepreslist*, \makebeamerpreslist,
\jsetfirstpressession and \jsetlastpressession).
- Major revision of the manual.
* V. 1.0.2 (2015-07-07): - Permit \LecType and \LecYear in the document body again
(fix a regression introduced in v. 1.0).
* V. 1.0.1 (2015-02-27): - Properly expand \leccancel
(fix a regression introduced by v. 1.0).
* V. 1.0 (2015-02-27): - Lecture types and term types are not hardcoded anymore and can
be freely modified and extended via \DefLecType and \DefSemType.
- Add option to add the instructor's name to both the course
(via \LecInstructor or 'instructor' package option) and to
specific sessions (via 'instructor' option of \NewSession).
- Add option to add names of presenting students to a session
(via 'presstudents' option).
- Add option to record the office number (\SetOfficeNumber
or 'officenumber' package option) [github issue #3].
- Add option to automatically shift all subsequent sessions by
a certain value after every nth session (\SetAutoOffset).
[github issue #2]
- Fix expansion issue in 'options' option of
\makebeamerprogram.
- Add 'cologne' style file.
