LaTeX package for argumentation theory (Toulmin etc)

argumentation.sty

LaTeX package for argumentation theory (Toulmin 1958 etc). The aim of developing this package is to provide an environment like the toulmin-environment to typeset argumentation schemes. E.g:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{argumentation}
\begin{document}

\begin{toulmin}
  \fact{fact}
  \warrant{warrant}
  \backing{backing}
  \qualifier{qualifier}
  \rebuttal{rebuttal}
  \conclusion{conclusion}
\end{toulmin}

\end{document}

If you are not using \qualifier and \rebuttal, the design is automatically changed:

\begin{toulmin}
  \fact{fact}
  \warrant{warrant}
  \backing{backing}
  \conclusion{conclusion}
\end{toulmin}

I start deleloping with a regular tex-file. This will get transferred to a dtx file with documentation soon. It will not be stable until some time in 2020.
