In this repository, we develop the Ximera LaTeX document class. As of summer of 2024, the Ximera document class is available in CTAN.
However, if a user should wish to install locally at this point (not recommended) see:
For a list of different Ximera commands, see:
Examples of Ximera Envrionments
Since Ximera is built on LaTeX source, we want to use LaTeX as a method of validating the code authors write. Hence, if you want to write a Ximera online activity, the first step is constructing LaTeX documents.
Once you have the LaTeX documents, and you have checked them for typos, accuracy, etc, the fact that they compile should be reasonable evidence that they will display correctly in Ximera.
This README.md file.
The LPPL 1.3c license.
The Ximera documented LaTeX file type, ximera.dtx. This file generates ximera.cls, xourse.cls, and ximeraLaTeX.pdf, as well as a few other files.
Running make
generates the derived files README, ximera.pdf, ximera.cls, xourse.cls, ximera.cfg, ximera.4ht, xourse.4ht.
Running make ctan
generates a submission suitable for CTAN
Running make inst
installs the files in the user's TeX tree.
Running make install
installs the files in the local TeX tree.
While we hope to solidify the ximera.cls file, at this point we are still in development stages.
To keep your file up-to-date, you may need to periodically sync or pull the the ximera.cls within the ximeraLatex directory.
ximeraLatex$ git fetch --all
ximeraLatex$ git reset --hard origin/master
will reset your ximeraLatex directory. Note it will also overwrite any modifications you have made in this directory. You should not be building your activities in this directory.
