+The \exsh package provides a way to typeset exercise sheets as used in university courses and school classes. It evolved from a set of macros an environments that were finally combined into this package. Starting from Version \vers{0.7}, there was an alternative variant designed for use with the beamer class, which is integrated into the main package since version \vers{0.11}. Not all combinations of options have been tested with the beamer variant. From version \vers{0.16} on, there is an embedded mode that allows using exercise in lecture notes etc. without requiring page breaks. Since the package includes a loading mechanism for exercises in external files, the same exercises can be reused in different contexts.
