Versions

The current latest version available on GitHub is v0.0.3 (2018/04/04) build 41

The current latest version available on CTAN is v0.0.3 (2018/04/04) build 41

Note that it can take at least 24-48 hours from the CTAN date above until the package is updated on CTAN, TeXLive and MiKTeX.

A build has no major changes in the core code (could be changes in documentation, or cosmetic changes in the code). Every time a minor version (that is the middle version number) changes, an upload is made to CTAN. If the patch version change (the last version number) is significant, it will also be uploaded to CTAN. The build number (ideally) never resets.

Super quick start

Texlive (MacOS and Linux): Only if you have texlive 2018

1. Install the package from CTAN. With texlive: tlmgr install handin if you dont have texlive 2018, you can pretest it here: https://www.tug.org/texlive/pretest.html
2. Add \usepackage{handin} to your preamble (that is any place before \begin{document}

MikTeX (Windows):

It's already a part of MikTeX, so just do \usepackage{handin}

And then

use the docs.

Since this package is in early stages, the CTAN-version is probably not the latest version though. There will be multiple builds pushed here first. Current CTAN-version is 0.0.2 build 30.

Quickstart

Install with TeXLive or MikTeX, as per usual. Alternatively download the latest version here: handin.zip, then, in your document, use: \usepackage{handin}. There is an example included in the handin.zip

Quick docs:

Commands

\problem{1} would create a Problem 1 headline and \pproblem{a} would then print 1a) subheadline (with some margin magic and other snacks). More functionality will be made, also feel free to request functionality.

Front page (\maketitle)

layout.pdf is an overview of what commands writes out what where. They are all used as commands to be set:

• \title{Assignment title}
• \author{Author(s)}
• \coursename{TST-101}
• \coursetitle{Test course}
• \institute{Institute of Physics and Technology}
• \logo{path/to/logo/or/image}
• \pagetext{Page \thepage~of \pageref{LastPage}}
• \containspages{Contains \pageref{LastPage} pages, front page included}
