+# Mark's Handout Library
+This is a collection of math circle handouts that I (and many others) have written. \
+They are used regularly at the [ORMC].
+
+For more information, visit [betalupi.com/handouts]. \
+The latest version of each handout is available at that page.
+
+
+## License
+Unless otherwise stated, all documents in this repository are licensed under [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0]. \
+Each document has its own authors. See `meta.toml` in each project directory for details.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## 🛠️ Contributing
+If you want to use one of these handouts for a class, see [`betalupi.com/handouts`](https://betalupi.com/handouts). \
+You only need to read this section if you want to edit these handouts.
+
+Use git to clone this repository, then open the root folder in [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com). \
+We use the [latex-workshop] and [tinymist] extensions to write these handouts, install them before continuing. \
+[`./vscode/settings.json`](./vscode/settings.json) will automatically configure them to work with this repository.
+ - All handouts are in [`./src`](./src) \
+  Every handout is stored in its own directory, even if it only consists of one file. \
+  Handouts are organized by group (see [betalupi.com/handouts] for details).
+
+ - Packages are stored in [`./lib`](./lib) \
+   You shouldn't need to modify any library files, but you may want to read them to see how they work. \
+
+ - [`./tools`](./tools) contains build scripts, [`./.github`](./.github) configures automation. \
+  You can ignore everything in these directories.
+
+All handouts in this repository are based on `ormc_handout.cls` or `handout@0.1.0`. \
+If you're using LaTeX, read [`docs-latex.md`](./docs-latex.md). \
+If you're using Typst (preferred), read [`docs-typst.md`](./docs-typst.md)
+### Metadata
+Every handout directory should contain a file called `meta.toml` with the following contents:
+```toml
+# This is a sample `meta.toml`.
+# A copy of this file should exist in every handout directory.
+# All keys are required.
+
+[metadata]
+title = "title of this handout"
+
+
+[publish]
+# Should we publish this handout?
+# If `false`, no part of this handout is published.
+handout = true
+
+# Should we publish an "instructor's" version of this handout?
+# This key has no effect if `publish.handout` is false.
+#
+# If `true`, publish a second version of this handout with solutions.
+# Set this to `false` if solutions haven't been written.
+solutions = true
+```
+
+
+## Out-of-band compilation
+If you want to compile these handouts _without_ this repository (e.g, on [Overleaf] or [Typst.app]), do the following:
+
+### For LaTeX:
+1. Get the handout's directory (i.e, download the whole repo as a zip and extract the folder you want.)
+2. Download [`./resources/ormc_handout.cls`](./resources/ormc_handout.cls)
+3. Put this file in the same directory as the handout.
+4. Fix the include path at the top of `main.tex`:
+
+You'll need to replace
+
+```latex
+\documentclass[
+	...
+]{../../../lib/tex/ormc_handout}
+```
+
+with
+
+```latex
+\documentclass[
+	...
+]{ormc_handout}
+```
+5. Make a new overleaf project with the resulting directory.
+6. **Do not use pdflatex**, it misbehaves with `ormc_handout`. Tell Overleaf to use XeLaTeX.
+
+
+### For Typst
+TODO
