The grape suite is a suite consisting of following templates:

• exercises (for exams, homework, etc.)

  • essays and minutess

• seminar papers

• slides (using polylux)

Exercises

Use the exercise module to create exercise sheets or exams (or hand in your homework):

Tasks	Hints	Solutions

The exercise module also supports exams with a titlepage, point distributions and grading rubric:

Title page	Tasks	Grading Rubric

For written minutes and essays see subtypes module.

  colors-accent: rgb("#4169e1"),     // Royal blue
)

Using Default Colors

If you don't specify color parameters, the templates use the default grape-suite color scheme.

Todos

The following functions can be imported from slides, exercise and seminar-paper:

• todo(content, ...) - create a highlighted inline todo-note
• list-todos() - create list of all todo-usages with page of usage and content
• hide-todos() - hides all usages of todo() in the document

Elements

The following functions can be imported from slides, exercise and seminar-paper: definition

Citation

This package offers an optional citation style made for internal use. If you're obliged to use the style, configure it like this:

#import "@preview/grape-suite:4.0.0": citation
#import citation: *

#show: grape-suite-citation

...

This configures the new bibliography style. All citations are now fully printed like in bibliography, instead of @entry and cite(<entry>) use one of the following functions:

• ct(key, ..a): in a footnote, call ct-full(key, ..a).
• cf(key, ..a): in a footnote, call cf-full(key, ..a).
• ct-full(key, ..a): writes full citation, where the first optional positional parameter of a is the supplement of the citation, the last positional parameter is a prefix.
• cf-full(key, ..a): calls ct-full with a prefix that adds (depending on language) "Vgl." (German) or "Cf." (not German) to citations.

For direct quotes use ct(key), for indirect quotes use cf(key).

Changelog

With version 3.0.0, the versioning of grape-suite is based on Semantic Versioning extended for template purposes. Taken into account (next to API compatibility) are the visual results compared to the last version. Thus the major version of the package increases if either the changes of the API are incompatible (so a Typst document from a previous package version might not compile with the new package version) or if visual equivalence to the last version cannot be guaranteed.

4.0.0

Fixes:

• the colors module does not set orange, red and green to none

New:

• supports color themes via the colors-* parameters in exercise, seminar-paper and slides
• slides now supports the arguments outline-depth and heading-numbering
• tasks now has the arguments instruction-format, title-format and rubric
• exercise can generate a per-task point table via show-points-per-task-table, translation via:
  • point-table-header-task
  • point-table-header-points
  • point-table-header-achieved
• exericse: added argument show-titlepage, adjusted namefield for this purpose
• elements, tasks and todo can be imported the package for internals
• translated all examples into English

Changes:

• (breaking) tasks and their solutions are now decoupled: the task syntax is different, hints and solutions are not generated separately but in place, this affects show-point-distribution-in-tasks and show-point-distribution-in-solutions, which are renamed to show-point-distribution
• (breaking) points for grading rubric is now provided by task's rubric argument
• (breaking) internal functions are now guarded and can't be imported from templates
• (breaking) some function and attribute names were translated wrong into English, the following has been changed:
  • solution matrix → graduation rubric, which affects: exercise.show-solution-matrix, exercise.show-solution-matrix-comment-field, exercise.solution-matrix-comment-field-value, exercise.solution-matrix-task-header and exercise.solution-matrix-achieved-points-header
  • protocol → minutes, which affects: subtypes.minutes
  • docent → instructor, which affects: exercise.project.docent, subtypes.procotol.docent (now subtypes.minutes) and seminar-paper.project.docent

• blockquote now just creates a quote element with attribution
• date (in seminar-paper, exercise and slides) now accepts content too
• big-heading moved from tasks module to elements module
• layout of subtasks in exercise and tasks modules
