# `colorist` bundle: write you documents in a colorful way

<!-- **The whole series have been rewritten with `expl3`. Please note that the documentations are not yet up-to-date. The syntax of some commands have been changed since the last version, especially the declaration of theorem-like environments by `\CreateTheorem`. For the moment, you can refer to the documentation of the package `create-theorem`.** -->

## Introduction

`colorist` is a collection of styles and classes that helps you typesetting articles and books
with a colorful design. It mainly consists of two parts.

- Main part:
    - `colorist.sty` : interface of the main style
        - `colorist-fancy.sty` : the fancy style
    - `colorart.cls` : class for typesetting articles
    - `colorbook.cls` : class for typesetting books

    They can be used with any major TeX engine. Currently they have native
    support to English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese
    (European and Brazilian) and Spanish typesetting.


- Derivative part:
    - `lebhart.cls` : enhanced version of `colorart`
    - `beaulivre.cls` : enhanced version of `colorbook`

    They are similar to the main classes, but have unicode support, thus can
    only be used with either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. Currently they have native
    support to Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, French, German,
    Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Russian and Spanish
    typesetting, and also use more beautiful fonts.
