# Classroom templates Teaching material: lecture notes, worksheets, exams and 16:9 lecture slides. Friendly sans-serif look with teal headings and coloured boxes for definitions, examples and notes. ## Templates - **Lecture notes** (`notes`): course notes and handouts. Parameters: `title` (default `"Title"`), `course` (`none`), `lecturer` (`none`), `date` (today, e.g. "5 March 2026"). Prints the title with course · lecturer · date. Justified text, headings numbered `1.1`. - **Worksheet** (`worksheet`): exercises for students. Parameters: `title` (`"Title"`), `course` (`none`). Prints the title and blank "Name:" and "Date:" lines. Headings are not numbered. - **Exam** (`exam`): tests with points. Parameters: `title` (`"Title"`), `course` (`none`), `duration` (`none`, shown as "Time: ..."), `date` (today). Prints a centred title and a box with Name, Time and "Points: ___ / total". The total is the sum of all `question(points: ...)` values. - **Lecture slides** (`slides`): 16:9 slides. Parameters: `title` (`"Title"`), `course` (`none`), `lecturer` (`none`), `date` (today). The first slide is a title slide made from these parameters. Footer: course and slide number. ## Writing a page The template already sets: A4 page and margins (or 16:9 for slides), font and size, teal headings with spacing, a header with course and title and a centred page number (notes, worksheet, exam). Notes: use `=` for main sections, `==` and `===` below them; numbering is automatic. Worksheet and exam: write each task with `question`; use `=` headings only to group parts ("Part A"). Add `answer-lines` where students write. Slides: - Each `= Heading` starts a new slide; the heading is the slide title (teal, orange underline). - `== Heading` is a smaller subheading inside the current slide. - Content after a `=` heading belongs to that slide until the next `=`. Text that does not fit flows onto an extra page without a title, so keep slides short. - Do not create a title slide; it is generated from the parameters. ```typ = What is a derivative? #definition(title: "Derivative")[The rate of change of $f$ at $x$.] = Rules == Power rule $ d/(d x) x^n = n x^(n-1) $ ``` Plain markup works well: paragraphs, `-` lists, `+` numbered lists, `*bold*`, `_italic_`, `$...$` maths, `#table(...)`, `#figure(..., caption: [...])`, `#image(...)`. ## Helpers `definition(title: none, body)`: teal box labelled "Definition" (or "Definition: title"). ```typ #definition(title: "Prime number")[A natural number greater than 1 with no divisors other than 1 and itself.] ``` `example(title: none, body)`: blue box labelled "Example". ```typ #example(title: "Small primes")[2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 are prime; 9 is not.] ``` `remark(title: none, body)`: orange box labelled "Note", for tips, warnings and side remarks. ```typ #remark[1 is not a prime number.] ``` `question(points: none, body)`: a numbered question (1., 2., ... counted automatically). With `points`, shows "(n points)" on the right and adds n to the exam total. Use for worksheets and exams. ```typ #question(points: 2)[Is 51 a prime number? Explain.] #answer-lines(3) #question[List all primes below 20.] ``` `answer-lines(count)`: `count` ruled lines for handwritten answers. ```typ #answer-lines(4) ``` `callout(colour, label, title, body)`: the generic box behind the three above (all positional). Use it only for a box kind that has no helper, with a template colour; pass `none` for no title. ```typ #callout(teal, "Theorem", "Euclid")[There are infinitely many primes.] ``` `today`: today's date as text. Colours, only when something must be coloured: `teal` (headings, definitions), `blue` (examples), `orange` (notes, slide accents), `ink` (body text), `quiet` (grey secondary text). `sans` is the font list. ## Do not - Do not add `#set page`, `#set text`, `#set par` or font changes; the template sets them. - Do not use your own colours (`rgb(...)`, `red`, ...); use the constants above only when something must be coloured. - Do not build your own boxes with `block`, `rect` or `box`; use `definition`, `example`, `remark` (or `callout` for other kinds). - Do not remove or edit the template header between `// znote:template` and `// znote:end`. - Do not write the title, course, lecturer, date, name/date lines or the points box; the template prints them. - Do not number questions or headings by hand, and do not write the total points; `question` counts and sums them. - Do not draw answer lines with `#line`; use `answer-lines`. - In slides do not use `#pagebreak()` to start slides; use `=`.
