shortdesc Extract specific content from a source document and write that to a target document
longdesc The package provides the means to extract specific content from a
longdesc source document and write that to a target document. One could,
longdesc for instance, use this to extract all exercises from lecture notes
longdesc and generate an exercises book on the fly. The package also
longdesc provides an environment which writes its body entirely to the
longdesc target file. Another environment will write to the target file,
longdesc but will also execute the body. This allows to share code (for
longdesc instance, a preamble) between the source document and the target
longdesc file. Finally, the package provides an interface to conditionally
longdesc extract content. With a single option in the \usepackage command,
longdesc one can specify exactly which commands (counted from the start of
longdesc the document) should be extracted and which not. This might be
longdesc useful for extracting specific slides from a presentation and use
longdesc them in a new file. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
