Readme for the package kata

Author: Lukas Heindl (oss.heindl+latex@protonmail.com).

License

The LaTeX package kata is distributed under the LPPL 1.3c license.

Description

The LaTeX package kata provides commands to describe katas as in e.g. forms for Karate. The idea is to describe the form as a sequence of states each described with

  1. a technique for the feet + direction
  2. a technique for the hands + direction
  3. a direction to move/rotate to next

Also the little pictograms can be customized so e.g. one can indicate repetitions with background coloring.

Installation

For a manual installation:

  • put the files kata.ins and kata.dtx in the same directory;
  • run latex kata.ins in that directory.

The file kata.sty will be generated.

Simplified version

  • run l3build unpack to generate the .sty in build/unpacked/
