-# Design: Sub-Expression Selection for `Typst` / `TypstMath`
-
-## Problem Statement
-
-Users need to interact with individual parts of a Typst-rendered expression:
-color a variable, animate the numerator of a fraction, morph one sub-expression
-into another, etc. The `MathTex` class solves this with:
-
-1. **`{{ ... }}` double-brace notation** — splits the TeX string into named
-   submobject groups at compile time.
-2. **`substrings_to_isolate` / `get_part_by_tex`** — identifies submobjects
-   whose TeX source matches a given string.
-
-Both mechanisms ultimately rely on injecting `\special{dvisvgm:raw <g id='...'>}`
-markers into the LaTeX source so that the resulting SVG contains `<g>` elements
-with known `id` attributes, which SVGMobject's parser maps to `VGroup`
-sub-trees via `id_to_vgroup_dict`.
-
-We need an analogous mechanism for Typst.
-
-## Key Discovery: `data-typst-label` in SVG Output
-
-Typst's SVG renderer (`typst-svg` crate) already emits a `data-typst-label`
-attribute on `<g>` elements whenever a `GroupItem` (hard frame) carries a
-label. The relevant code path:
-
-```rust
-// typst-svg/src/lib.rs — render_group()
-if let Some(label) = group.label {
-    svg.init().attr("data-typst-label", label.resolve());
-}
-```
-
-A **hard frame** is created by the `box` element (and `block`, etc.). Crucially,
-`box` can be used inline inside math mode, and labels can be attached to it.
-
-### Proof of Concept
-
-The following Typst helper wraps content in a labeled `box`:
-
-```typst
-#let grp(lbl, body) = [#box(body) #label(lbl)]
-```
-
-When used in math:
-
-```typst
-$ #grp("numerator", $a + b$) / #grp("denom", $c - d$) = #grp("result", $x$) $
-```
-
-The compiled SVG contains:
-
-```xml
-<g class="typst-group" ... data-typst-label="numerator">
-  <!-- glyphs for a + b -->
-</g>
-<g class="typst-group" ... data-typst-label="denom">
-  <!-- glyphs for c - d -->
-</g>
-<g class="typst-group" ... data-typst-label="result">
-  <!-- glyph for x -->
-</g>
-```
-
-**Nesting works.** A `grp` wrapping a fraction that itself contains `grp`-ed
-sub-parts produces nested `data-typst-label` groups:
-
-```typst
-$ #grp("whole-frac", $frac(#grp("numerator", $a + b$), #grp("denom", $c - d$))$) $
-```
-
-SVG output:
-
-```xml
-<g ... data-typst-label="whole-frac">
-  <g ... data-typst-label="numerator"> ... </g>
-  <g ... data-typst-label="denom"> ... </g>
-  <path class="typst-shape" ... />  <!-- fraction bar -->
-</g>
-```
-
-### SVG Parser Compatibility
-
-Manim uses `svgelements` to parse SVGs. The library preserves
-`data-typst-label` in the `values` dictionary of `Group` objects, and it
-propagates to child elements. Manim's `SVGMobject.get_mobjects_from()` already
-iterates over groups and builds `id_to_vgroup_dict` keyed by the `id` attribute.
-Extending this to also key by `data-typst-label` is straightforward.
-
-## Proposed Interface
-
-### 1. Explicit Groups via `{{ ... }}` Notation (Compile-Time)
-
-Mirror the `MathTex` double-brace convention. Users write:
-
-```python
-eq = TypstMath("{{ a + b }} / {{ c - d }} = {{ x }}")
-```
-
-The pre-processor splits on `{{ ... }}` (reusing the same whitespace-guard
-rules as `MathTex._split_double_braces`) and wraps each group in a labeled
-`box` call:
-
-```typst
-$ #box[$a + b$] <_grp-0> / #box[$c - d$] <_grp-1> = #box[$x$] <_grp-2> $
-```
-
-Each group gets an auto-generated label (`_grp-0`, `_grp-1`, ...).
-The `data-typst-label` attributes then appear in the SVG, and
-`SVGMobject.get_mobjects_from()` can map them to `VGroup` entries in
-`label_to_vgroup_dict` (or reuse `id_to_vgroup_dict`).
-
-These groups become sub-mobjects of the `TypstMath` instance, accessible by
-index:
-
-```python
-eq[0]  # VGroup for "a + b"
-eq[1]  # VGroup for "c - d"
-eq[2]  # VGroup for "x"
-```
-
-(Non-group content between groups — like `/` and `=` — also becomes
-its own submobject, mirroring `MathTex` behavior.)
-
-**For `Typst` (text mode):** the same `{{ ... }}` notation applies, but the
-wrapper is `#box[...]` without math delimiters.
-
-### 2. Named Groups via Labels
-
-Users can also assign explicit label names for retrieval by name:
-
-```python
-eq = Typst(
-    r"$ #box[$a + b$] <numerator> / #box[$c - d$] <denom> $"
-)
-eq.select("numerator").set_color(RED)
-eq.select("denom").set_color(BLUE)
-```
-
-Alternatively, an even more ergonomic approach that hides the `box` boilerplate
-and uses the `{{ ... : label }}` notation:
-
-```python
-eq = TypstMath("{{ a + b : numerator }} / {{ c - d : denom }}")
-eq.select("numerator").set_color(RED)
-```
-
-Here the pre-processor recognizes `{{ content : label }}` and emits
-`#box[$content$] <label>` in the Typst source.
-
-### 3. The `.select()` Method
-
-```python
-def select(self, key: str | int) -> VGroup:
-    """Select a labeled sub-expression.
-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    key
-        Either a label name (string) matching a ``data-typst-label``
-        in the SVG, or an integer index into the auto-numbered
-        ``{{ ... }}`` groups.
-
-    Returns
-    -------
-    VGroup
-        The sub-mobjects corresponding to the selected group.
-
-    Raises
-    ------
-    KeyError
-        If no group with the given label/index exists.
-    """
-```
-
-This returns a `VGroup` containing exactly the submobjects (paths) that
-were rendered inside the corresponding `<g data-typst-label="...">` in the SVG.
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Step 1: Extend `SVGMobject.get_mobjects_from()` to Track Labels
-
-In `manim/mobject/svg/svg_mobject.py`, the group-walking loop already checks
-for `id` attributes. Add a parallel check for `data-typst-label`:
-
-```python
-try:
-    group_name = str(element.values["id"])
-except Exception:
-    # Fall back to data-typst-label if available
-    label = element.values.get("data-typst-label")
-    if label:
-        group_name = f"typst-label:{label}"
-    else:
-        group_name = f"numbered_group_{group_id_number}"
-        group_id_number += 1
-```
-
-This automatically populates `id_to_vgroup_dict` with label-keyed entries.
-
-### Step 2: Pre-Processing `{{ ... }}` in Typst Source
-
-Add a `_split_and_label_groups()` method that:
-
-1. Scans the input for `{{ ... }}` or `{{ ... : label }}` patterns
-   (using the same whitespace-guard rules as `MathTex._split_double_braces`).
-2. Replaces each group with `#box[$content$] <label>` (math mode) or
-   `#box[content] <label>` (text mode).
-3. Records the mapping from label → original source string for later lookup.
-
-### Step 3: `Typst.select()` / Index Access
-
-- Store the ordered list of group labels and their source strings.
-- `select(label_or_index)` looks up the corresponding `VGroup` from
-  `id_to_vgroup_dict` (using the `typst-label:...` key).
-- `__getitem__(int)` returns the *n*-th group's `VGroup`.
-
-### Step 4: Compatibility with `TransformMatchingTex` (future)
-
-`TransformMatchingTex` (and its successor `TransformMatchingShapes`) works by
-matching submobjects between two `MathTex` instances by their TeX string keys.
-The same approach extends to `Typst` if each `{{ ... }}` group carries its
-original source string as metadata. A `TransformMatchingTypst` animation could
-match groups by label name or by source string equality.
-
-## Open Design Questions
-
-### Q1: Context-Aware Wrapping — Math vs. Text Mode
-
-The `box` + `label` mechanism works identically in math and text mode, but the
-**wrapping** of group content must match the surrounding context:
-
-- **In text mode:** `{{ Hello : greeting }}` → `#box[Hello] <greeting>`
-- **In math mode:** `{{ y^2 : second }}` → `#box[$y^2$] <second>`
-
-Getting this wrong is not a silent error — it produces visually broken output.
-Wrapping math content with `#box[y^2]` (no `$...$`) renders `y^2` as literal
-text in the body font instead of as a math superscript.
-
-This is a real problem for `Typst()`, where a single source string can mix text
-and math freely:
-
-```python
-Typst("hello world, here is a formula: $x^2 + {{ y^2 : second }} = z^2$")
-```
-
-Here `{{ y^2 : second }}` is inside a `$ ... $` block, so it needs the
-math-mode wrapper, but the pre-processor has no way to know this unless it
-tracks `$` delimiters.
-
-### The `#` prefix problem and math calls
-
-A natural idea is to translate `{{ content }}` into a Typst function call like
-`grp("lbl", content)`. However, this has a subtle but critical context
-sensitivity: Typst has two different call conventions depending on context:
-
-- **Math call** (no `#` prefix): `$ grp("lbl", a^2 + b) $` — arguments are
-  parsed **in math mode**. The content `a^2 + b` is math. ✓
-- **Code call** (`#` prefix): `$ #grp("lbl", a^2 + b) $` — arguments are
-  parsed **in code mode**. `a^2` is a syntax error in code! ✗
-
-So in math mode, the function MUST be called without `#` for args to stay in
-math mode. In text/markup mode, the function MUST be called WITH `#` (that's
-how you invoke code from markup), and content arguments need `[...]` wrapping:
-
-```typst
-// Text context:  #grp("lbl", [Hello world])
-// Math context:  grp("lbl", a^2 + b)
-```
-
-The function definition is the same either way:
-```typst
-#let grp(lbl, body) = [#box(body) #label(lbl)]
-```
-
-This means the function call approach has **exactly the same context problem**
-as the raw `#box` approach: the pre-processor must know whether it's in math or
-text to emit the right calling convention.
-
-### Further complication: string literals and content blocks
-
-Even inside `TypstMath` (where everything is math), the scanner must avoid
-`{{ }}` matches inside string literals or content blocks:
-
-```python
-TypstMath('x^2 + y^2 =_("Hello {{ world }}") z^2')
-```
-
-Here `{{ world }}` is inside a `"..."` string literal — it should NOT be
-processed. Similarly, content blocks `[...]` inside math switch back to text
-mode.
-
-### Options
-
-**A. `TypstMath`: math calls with simple string-aware scanning.**
-For `TypstMath`, the entire body is math, so `{{ content }}` always becomes
-`grp("_grp-N", content)` (no `#`, no `$...$`). The scanner just needs to
-skip `"..."` string literals and `[...]` content blocks — no `$` tracking
-needed. This is clean and robust.
-
-**B. `Typst`: context-aware scanning (full parser).**
-For the general `Typst` class, the scanner must additionally track `$...$`
-math blocks (toggling a mode flag on unescaped `$`) to choose between
-`grp(...)` (in math) and `#grp("lbl", [...])` (in text). It must also handle
-string literals and content blocks inside math that switch context back. This
-is doable but non-trivial — essentially a mini Typst lexer.
-
-**C. `Typst`: no `{{ }}`, manual groups only.**
-For the general `Typst` class, don't support `{{ }}` at all. Users write
-`grp(...)` / `#grp(...)` themselves (with the helper injected into the
-preamble). `{{ }}` is only available on `TypstMath`. This is simpler and
-avoids the parsing complexity, at the cost of ergonomics for mixed-mode
-documents.
-
-**Recommendation:** Start with A (TypstMath only) and C (manual for Typst).
-Upgrade to B later if demand warrants it — the function call infrastructure
-is already in place, it's only the scanner that needs upgrading.
-
-### Q2: What about "unlabeled" content between groups?
-
-Like `MathTex`, the pieces of content *between* `{{ ... }}` groups should also
-become their own submobjects (auto-labeled with sequential indices). For
-example:
-
-```python
-TypstMath("{{ a }} + {{ b }} = {{ c }}")
-#  group-0: "a"
-#  group-1: "+"       (auto-group for inter-group content)
-#  group-2: "b"
-#  group-3: "="       (auto-group for inter-group content)
-#  group-4: "c"
-```
-
-Each segment (group or inter-group) gets wrapped in its own labeled `box`.
-
-### Q3: What happens with `box` and baseline alignment?
-
-`box` is an inline element in Typst, and when used inside math mode it
-participates in math layout. Testing confirms that fractions, superscripts, and
-other constructs render correctly when their children are `box`-wrapped.
-However, `box` creates a "hard frame" boundary which may subtly affect spacing
-in edge cases (e.g., math operator spacing around a boxed expression). This
-needs further testing; if issues arise, we could explore `block(breakable: false)`
-or invisible `rect` wrappers as alternatives.
-
-### Q4: Can we avoid the `#grp(...)` / `#box[...] <label>` verbosity?
-
-Yes — the `{{ ... }}` double-brace notation is purely syntactic sugar that gets
-pre-processed by Manim before the source reaches the Typst compiler. Users never
-need to write raw `#box` or `#label()` calls unless they want finer control.
-
-### Q5: String-based selection without explicit groups?
-
-A future enhancement could support:
-
-```python
-eq = TypstMath(r"a + b = c")
-eq.select("a")  # finds submobjects corresponding to the glyph "a"
-```
-
-This is hard to do reliably because:
-- Typst SVGs embed glyphs as `<use xlink:href="#gXXX">` references; there's no
-  text content in the SVG itself.
-- A single variable in Typst may span multiple glyphs (e.g., `"alpha"` → one
-  glyph) or identical glyphs may appear multiple times.
-
-A possible approach: at pre-processing time, wrap every "token" in the Typst
-math source in its own labeled `box`. This would require a Typst math tokenizer
-and is better suited for a v2 implementation.
-
-## Summary: What Typst Gives Us
-
-| Mechanism | How it works | SVG output |
-|---|---|---|
-| `#box(body) <label>` | Creates a hard-frame `GroupItem` with a `Label` | `<g data-typst-label="label">...</g>` |
-| `#metadata(val) <label>` | Invisible; queryable via `typst query` CLI | No visual output (useful for CLI queries, not SVG) |
-| Show rules on labels | `#show <label>: ...` | Transforms visual output but no automatic SVG grouping |
-| `context query(<label>)` | Document introspection (positions, counters) | In-document only; not available from Python |
-
-The `box` + `label` mechanism is the **only** one that produces identifiable
-groups in the SVG output, making it the correct tool for sub-expression
-selection in Manim.

+
+.. note:: This is a work in progress guide and might not be complete at this point
+
+##############
+What to expect
+##############
+This guide will take you on a Tour through the features and capabilities of Manim. The goal is to give you a good overview of what Manim can do and how to use it. It is not meant to be a complete reference, but rather a starting point for your own explorations.
+
+The goal of this guide is to give you a clear path from the basics of Manim to a finished animation. It will not go into detail about the inner workings of Manim, but rather focus on the practical aspects of using it.
+At the end of this guide you should be able to create your own animations and have a good understanding of how to use Manim.
+
+.. warning::
+    Please note that this guide is only for Manim and expects basic knowledge about programming with Python. If you are new to Python you should first learn the basics of Python before you start with Manim.
+    You can find a full introduction to Python here: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/
+
+    You can still follow this guide with basic knowledge of Python, but you will have to learn some Python basics along the way in order to understand the code examples.
+
+#################
+What are Mobjects
+#################
+
+Mobjects are the basic building blocks of Manim. They are the objects that are animated and displayed on the screen.
+Mobjects can be anything from simple shapes to complex 3D objects. They can be animated, moved, rotated, scaled and much more.
+In this guide we will focus on the 2D Mobjects, but the same principles apply to 3D Mobjects as well.
+
+.. manim:: MobjectsFloating
+    :hide_source:
+
+    class MobjectsFloating(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle()
+            s = Square()
+            t = Triangle()
+            c.shift(UP)
+            t.shift(LEFT*3+DOWN)
+            s.shift(RIGHT*3+DOWN)
+            self.add(c, s, t)
+            timer = ValueTracker(0)
+            c.add_updater(lambda m: m.move_to(UP+0.2*DOWN*np.sin(timer.get_value()+1)))
+            s.add_updater(lambda m: m.move_to(RIGHT*3+DOWN+0.3*DOWN*np.sin(timer.get_value()+2)))
+            t.add_updater(lambda m: m.move_to(LEFT*3+DOWN+0.3*DOWN*np.sin(timer.get_value()+4)))
+            self.add(timer)
+            self.play(timer.animate.set_value(2*np.pi), run_time=5, rate_func=linear)
+
+
+
+For a list of all Mobjects you can look at the :doc:`/reference_index/mobjects` Documentation Page. There are many more to explore and you can even create your own Mobjects, which we will cover later.

+            self.add(all, dots)
+
+.. note::
+    The type of Mobject that is used most of the time is the `VMobject`. This is a Mobject that is made up of `VectorizedPoints`. These are points that are defined by their coordinates and can be connected by lines or curves.
+    Every time we talk about Mobjects in this guide we mean VMobjects, unless we state otherwise.
+
+=============================
+Mobjects and their Attributes
+=============================
+
+In order to display Mobjects in your animations you need to add them to the scene. You can do this by calling ``self.add(mobject)`` in the ``construct`` method of your scene.
+This tells Manim that you want to display the Mobject in your scene.
+
+.. manim:: CreatingMobjects
+    :save_last_frame:
+
+    class CreatingMobjects(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle()
+            self.add(c)
+
+This will be the basic structure of all your animations. You will create Mobjects and add them to the scene. Then you can animate them and change their properties.
+Try the "Make Interactive" Button and see if you can create a `Square` instead of a `Circle`.
+
+The first line is the name of your scene, in this case it is ``CreatingMobjects``. It inherits from ``Scene``: as we explore later, you'll find examples where we inherit from
+class other than ``Scene`` to gain access to more specialized methods. Your animation must take place in the ``construct`` method of your scene, otherwise it will not render.
+
+You can run this scene on your local machine by saving it in a file called ``my_first_scene.py`` and running ``manim -pqm my_first_scene.py`` in the terminal.
+
+------------------
+Mobject Attributes
+------------------
+
+Mobjects also posses many attributes that you can change. For example you can change the color of a Mobject by calling ``mobject.set_color(color)`` or scale it by calling ``mobject.scale(factor)``.
+
+The basic attributes are the ``points``, ``fill_color``, ``fill_opacity``, ``stroke_color``, ``stroke_opacity``, ``stroke_width``.
+The ``points`` define the outline of the Mobject, whereas the color attributes define how this outline is displayed.
+
+A full list of the attributes of :class:`VMobject` can be found in the :doc:`../reference/manim.mobject.types.vectorized_mobject.VMobject` Documentation Page. Please note that depending
+on the type of Mobject you are using, there might be additional attributes, which are listed on the corresponding documentation page.
+
+-------------------
+Changing the Points
+-------------------
+
+Most of the function that you will use in Manim will be functions that change the points of a Mobject. For example ``mobject.shift(direction)`` will move the Mobject in the given direction.
+On the other hand, ``mobject.rotate(angle)`` will rotate the Mobject by the given angle.
+
+.. manim:: MobjectPoints
+    :save_last_frame:
+
+    class MobjectPoints(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle()
+            s = Square()
+            t = Triangle()
+
+            c.shift(3*LEFT)
+            s.rotate(PI/4)
+            t.shift(3*RIGHT)
+
+            self.add(c, s, t)
+
+------------------
+Changing the Color
+------------------
+
+Changing the color works in the same way but instead of modifying it you can set it to a new value. For example ``mobject.set_fill(color=color)`` will set the fill color of the Mobject to the given color.
+
+You can also pass in attributes through the constructor of the Mobject. For example ``Circle(fill_color=RED)`` will create a circle with a red fill color.
+For a list of parameters that you can pass you can always visit the corresponding Documentation Page in the Reference Manual.
+
+.. manim:: MobjectColor
+    :save_last_frame:
+
+    class MobjectColor(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle(fill_color=YELLOW).shift(3*LEFT)
+            s = Square()
+            t = Triangle().shift(3*RIGHT)
+
+            c.set_fill(color=RED).set_opacity(1)
+            s.set_stroke(color=GREEN)
+            t.set_color(color=BLUE).set_opacity(0.5)
+
+            self.add(c, s, t)
+
+
+-------------------
+Test your Knowledge
+-------------------
+
+Now that you saw the basic ways to change Mobjects, try to reproduce the following Image. You can use the "Make Interactive" Button of the above Scene to get started.
+
+.. manim:: TestYourKnowledge1
+    :save_last_frame:
+    :hide_source:
+
+    class TestYourKnowledge1(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle(fill_color=RED,stroke_color=GREEN).shift(3*LEFT)
+            s = Square(fill_color=GREEN,stroke_color=BLUE).set_opacity(0.2)
+            t = Triangle(fill_color=RED,stroke_opacity=0).shift(RIGHT)
+
+            c.set_fill(color=RED).set_opacity(1)
+            s.set_stroke(color=GREEN)
+            t.set_color(color=BLUE).set_opacity(0.5)
+
+            self.add(c, s, t)

+Animations in Manim
+###################
+
+Now that we looked long enough at static Images, let's get to the fun part of Manim. Animations!
+Animations are at the core of Manim and are what makes it so powerful. You can animate almost anything in Manim and you can do it in many different ways.
+In this section we will look at the different ways to animate Mobjects and how to control the animations.
+
+.. manim:: Manimations1
+    :hide_source:
+
+    class Manimations1(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle().shift(UP).set_color(RED)
+            s = Square().shift(LEFT*3)
+            t = Triangle().shift(RIGHT*3)
+            l = MathTex(r"\mathbf{M}").shift(DOWN).set_fill(opacity=0).set_stroke(color=WHITE, opacity=1, width=5).scale(4)
+            self.play(AnimationGroup(Create(c), GrowFromCenter(s), Write(l), FadeIn(t), lag_ratio=0.2))
+            group = VGroup(l,c, s, t)
+            self.play(group.animate.arrange(RIGHT))
+            self.play(group.animate.arrange(DOWN))
+            self.play(group.animate.arrange_in_grid(buff=1,rows=2))
+            self.play(Unwrite(group))
+
+
+
+================================
+Introduction to Basic Animations
+================================
+
+There are multiple ways to animate the addition and removal of mobjects from the scene. The most common ways to introduce mobjects is with ``FadeIn`` or ``Create``,
+and the most common ways to remove objects from the scene are their counterparts: ``FadeOut`` and ``Uncreate``.
+
+.. manim:: BasicAnimations
+
+   class BasicAnimations(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c1 = Circle().shift(2*LEFT)
+          c2 = Circle().shift(2*RIGHT)
+          self.play(FadeIn(c1), Create(c2))
+          self.play(FadeOut(c1), Uncreate(c2))
+
+--------
+Runtimes
+--------
+
+You can adjust the duration of each animation individually, or you can set a duration for all in animations in a ``Scene.play`` call.
+
+.. manim:: AnimationRuntimes
+
+   class AnimationRuntimes(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c = Circle().shift(2*LEFT)
+          s = Square().shift(2*RIGHT)
+          # set animation runtimes individually
+          self.play(Create(c, run_time=2), Create(s, run_time=1))
+          # in this call, the individual runtimes of each animation
+          # are overridden by the runtime in the self.play call
+          self.play(FadeOut(c, run_time=2), FadeOut(s, run_time=1), run_time=1.5)
+
+--------------
+Rate Functions
+--------------
+A rate function allows you to adjust the speed at an animation proceeds.
+
+.. manim:: RateFunctionsExample
+
+   class RateFunctionsExample(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c1 = Circle().shift(2*LEFT)
+          c2 = Circle().shift(2*RIGHT)
+          self.play(
+              Create(c1, rate_func=rate_functions.linear),
+              Create(c2, rate_func=rate_functions.ease_in_sine),
+              run_time=5
+          )
+
+You can see all of the current ones below:
+
+.. manim:: AllRateFunctions
+    :hide_source:
+
+    class AllRateFunctions(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            time_progress = ValueTracker(0)
+            func_grid = VGroup()
+            exclude = ["wraps", "bezier", "sigmoid", "unit_interval", "zero", "not_quite_there", "squish_rate_func"]
+            rate_funcs = list(filter(
+                lambda t: str(t[1])[:10] == "<function " and all(t[0] != s for s in exclude),
+                rate_functions.__dict__.items(),
+            ))
+            for name, rate_func in rate_funcs:
+                plot_bg = Rectangle(height=1.5, width=2.0)
+                y_zero = DashedLine(stroke_width=1.5, stroke_color=YELLOW)
+                y_one = DashedLine(stroke_width=0.5, stroke_color=BLUE).shift(0.5*UP)
+                y_minus_one = y_one.copy().shift(DOWN)
+                plot_title = (
+                    Text(name, weight=SEMIBOLD, font="Open Sans")
+                    .scale(0.4)
+                    .next_to(plot_bg, UP, buff=0.1)
+                )
+                func_grid.add(VGroup(plot_bg, y_zero, y_one, y_minus_one, plot_title))
+
+            func_grid.arrange_in_grid(cols=8)
+            func_grid.stretch_to_fit_height(0.9 * config.frame_height)
+            func_grid.stretch_to_fit_width(0.9 * config.frame_width)
+            func_grid.move_to(ORIGIN)
+
+            y_zero, y_one = func_grid.submobjects[0].submobjects[1:3]
+            origin = y_zero.get_start()
+            height = (y_one.get_start() - origin)[1]
+            width = (y_zero.get_end() - origin)[0]
+
+            funcs = []
+            dots = VGroup()
+            for plot_group, (_, rate_func) in zip(func_grid.submobjects, rate_funcs):
+                origin = plot_group.submobjects[1].get_start()
+                func = lambda t, o=origin, rf=rate_func: o + np.array([width*t, height*rf(t), 0])
+                funcs.append(func)
+                plot = (
+                    ParametricFunction(
+                        func,
+                        t_range=[0, 1, 0.01],
+                        use_smoothing=False,
+                        color=YELLOW,
+                    )
+                )
+                plot_group.add(plot)
+
+                dot = Dot().scale(0.5).move_to(func(0))
+                dots.add(dot)
+
+            def dot_updater(dots):
+                t = time_progress.get_value()
+                for dot, func in zip(dots.submobjects, funcs):
+                    dot.move_to(func(t))
+
+            self.add(func_grid, dots)
+            dots.add_updater(dot_updater)
+            # there is some wacky rate function giving out-of-bounds results...
+            self.play(
+                time_progress.animate.set_value(1),
+                run_time=3,
+            )
+
+Alternatively, you can create your own. A rate function takes in a value between 0 and 1 representing the "progress" of the animation. You can think of this as the
+ratio of the time passed since the animation started, to the runtime of the animation. It should return how much of the animation should have been completed by that time.
+
+As an example, check out the rate function below.
+
+.. manim:: CustomRateFunctions
+
+   class CustomRateFunctions(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          def there_and_back_three(alpha: float):
+              if alpha <= 1/3:
+                  return 3*alpha
+              elif alpha <= 2/3:
+                  return 1-3*(alpha-1/3)
+              else:
+                  return 3*(alpha-2/3)
+
+          self.play(Create(Circle(), rate_func=there_and_back_three), run_time=4)
+
+This rate function will spend 1/3rd of the time finishing the animate, the next 1/3rd of the time "undoing" the animation,
+and the final 1/3rd of the animation replaying the first 1/3rd. As you can see, it returns the amount of the animation
+completed as a value between 0 to 1.
+
+----------------------
+The ``Wait`` Animation
+----------------------
+
+Now all these animations seem a bit rushed. Luckily, Manim allows us to create periods of time where nothing is happening.
+Let's look at an example:
+
+.. manim:: BasicAnimationWithWait
+
+   class BasicAnimationWithWait(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c = Circle()
+          self.play(Create(c))
+          self.wait() # wait for one second by default
+          self.play(FadeOut(c))
+          self.wait(0.5) # wait half a second
+
+A little bit later on, we will learn how to leverage the ``stop_condition`` parameter to stop after a certain event happens.
+
+=====================
+Transforming Mobjects
+=====================
+
+Manim allows us to smoothly transform one :class:`.Mobject` into another using :class:`.Transform` and :class:`.ReplacementTransform`.
+``Transform(mob1, mob2)`` turns the attributes of ``mob1`` into the attributes of ``mob2``.
+
+.. manim:: TransformAnimation
+
+   class TransformAnimation(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c = Circle()
+          self.add(c)
+          self.play(Transform(c, Square()))
+          self.play(FadeOut(c)) # fadeout c
+
+-----------------------------------------
+``Transform`` vs ``ReplacementTransform``
+-----------------------------------------
+
+While :class:`Transform(mob1, mob2)` changes the attributes of ``mob1`` into the attributes of ``mob2`` by copying the values, :class:`ReplacementTransform(mob1, mob2)` instead replaces ``mob1`` in the
+scene with ``mob2``.
+
+Here is the same scene in the last section, but using :class:`.ReplacementTransform`:
+
+.. manim:: ReplacementTransformAnimation
+
+   class ReplacementTransformAnimation(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c = Circle()
+          s = Square()
+          self.add(c)
+          self.play(ReplacementTransform(c, s))
+          self.play(FadeOut(s)) # fadeout s
+
+Ultimately, the choice of which to use is up to the programmer. However, some examples like the one below make the code simpler when using one over the other.
+
+.. manim:: CyclingShapesAnimation
+
+   class CyclingShapesAnimation(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          mob = Circle()
+          shapes = (Square(), Triangle(), Circle().set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.5))
+          self.add(mob)
+          for shape in shapes:
+              # if we use transform, we avoid having to
+              # keep track of the previously transformed
+              # shape
+              self.play(Transform(mob, shape))
+              self.wait(0.3)
+
+
+-------------------
+``.animate`` Syntax
+-------------------
+
+One of the most powerful features of Manim is it's :attr:`~.Mobject.animate` syntax.
+It allows you to animate the changing of an attribute of a mobject. You can see an example below:
+
+.. manim:: AnimateSyntaxExample
+
+   class AnimateSyntaxExample(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          c = Circle()
+          self.add(c)
+          self.play(c.animate.shift(RIGHT))
+          self.play(c.animate.to_corner(DL).set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.4))
+
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   ``.animate`` works by interpolating between the initial and the final mobject. As such, beware when using ``.animate.rotate`` with angles greater than pi radians
+   as it may not produce the intended animation.
+
+
+-------------------
+Test Your Knowledge
+-------------------
+
+Try to create the following animation!
+
+.. manim:: TestBasicAnimationKnowledge
+    :hide_source:
+
+    class TestBasicAnimationKnowledge(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            c = Circle().set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.5)
+            s = Star().set_stroke(color=YELLOW).set_fill(color=YELLOW, opacity=0.3)
+            t = Triangle().set_fill(color=BLUE, opacity=0.1)
+            VGroup(c, s, t).arrange(RIGHT).move_to(ORIGIN) # users will arrange manually
+            self.play(
+                DrawBorderThenFill(c),
+                GrowFromPoint(s, ORIGIN),
+                SpinInFromNothing(t),
+                run_time=2
+            )
+            self.wait()
+            for mob in (s, t):
+                self.play(Transform(c, mob))
+                self.remove(mob)
+                self.wait(0.2)
+            self.play(c.animate.move_to(ORIGIN))
+
+Hint: you might need to look at different :doc:`/reference_index/animations`!
+
+=================
+Grouping Mobjects
+=================
+
+Oftentimes it is convenient to animate the movement of several mobjects at once. To help accomplish this goal, manim provides two classes: ``Group`` and ``VGroup``.
+99% of the time, ``VGroup``'s are used, but if you're dealing with some form of an ``ImageMobject`` you will have to use ``Group``. Here's an example of how groups can be useful:
+
+.. manim:: GroupingExample
+
+    class GroupingExample(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            tri = Triangle()
+            sq = Square()
+            circ = Circle()
+            grp1 = VGroup(tri,sq,circ).arrange(RIGHT)
+            grp2 = VGroup(tri,circ)
+            self.add(tri,sq,circ)
+            self.play(grp1.animate.shift(UP))
+            self.play(grp2.animate.shift(2*DOWN))
+            self.play(tri.animate.next_to(circ,RIGHT))
+            self.play(grp1.animate.shift(UP))
+            self.wait()
+
+.. note::
+   From now onwards, if we refer to a group we are referring to a ``VGroup``, unless specifically stated otherwise.
+
+Groups also have a bunch of methods to make your life easier. Take a look at some in the example below:
+
+.. manim:: GroupingMethodsExample
+
+   class GroupingMethodsExample(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            group = VGroup(
+                Square(),
+                Star(color=YELLOW).set_fill(color=YELLOW, opacity=0.5),
+                Triangle(),
+                Circle().set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.5)
+            )
+            self.play(group.animate.arrange(DOWN), run_time=2)
+            self.play(group.animate.arrange_in_grid(cols=2), run_time=2)
+            for mob in group:
+                self.play(Uncreate(mob))
+            self.wait(0.2)
+
+##################
+Syncing Animations
+##################
+
+In many animations it makes sense to have things moving together at the same rate.
+However, Manim gives you better ways to accomplish this task then by copying the same parameters
+everywhere.
+
+=========
+Updaters
+=========
+Manim allows you to "update" the attributes of a mobject every frame of an animation
+via something called updaters. There are two types: normal updaters, and time-based updaters.
+
+.. note::
+    The way manim works with time based updaters is going to be reworked at some point. Stay
+    up to date with the changelogs to make sure your code will work.
+
+---------------
+Normal Updaters
+---------------
+You can attach an updater to a mobject via the `.add_updater` method. It takes a function whose
+first parameter is the mobject itself, and you can modify the mobject however you want.
+
+For example, here we used ``lambda m: m.next_to(d, RIGHT)``. In this case, ``m`` is the Mobject ``Text("Hi!")``.
+
+.. manim:: UpdaterExample
+    :ref_classes: MoveAlongPath TracedPath
+
+    class UpdaterExample(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            t = Text("Hi!")
+            d = Dot(color=ORANGE)
+            trace = TracedPath(d.get_center, dissipating_time=1, stroke_color=RED)
+            t.add_updater(lambda m: m.next_to(d, RIGHT))
+            self.add(t, trace)
+            self.play(MoveAlongPath(d, Square(), rate_func=linear, run_time=3))
+            self.wait()
+
+-------------------
+Time Based Updaters
+-------------------
+Time based updaters are just like normal updaters, but take an extra parameter ``dt``.
+This represents how much time has passed between the last call of your updater.
+
+.. manim:: TimeBasedUpdater
+
+    class TimeBasedUpdater(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            time = 0
+            d = DecimalNumber(0)
+            def updater(m: VMobject, dt: float):
+                # access the time defined outside this function
+                nonlocal time
+                time+=dt
+                m.set_value(time)
+            d.add_updater(updater)
+            self.add(d)
+            self.wait(1.1)
+
+
+
+=============
+ValueTrackers
+=============
+
+ValueTrackers are the real things that allow you to synchronize multiple animations at once.
+They are basically just stored values, but you can animate their ``.set_value`` to produce animations.
+
+.. manim:: ValueTrackerShowcase
+
+    class ValueTrackerShowcase(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            line = Rectangle(height=1, width=4).set_stroke(color=WHITE, opacity=1).move_to(ORIGIN)
+            vt = ValueTracker(1e-2) # setting to zero creates bugs with stretch_to_fit_width
+            progress = Rectangle(height=1, width=vt.get_value()).set_stroke(color=RED,opacity=1)
+            progress.add_updater(lambda p: p.stretch_to_fit_width(vt.get_value()).align_to(line, LEFT))
+            d = DecimalNumber(0).to_edge(UP)
+            d.add_updater(lambda d: d.set_value(vt.get_value()))
+            self.add(d,line,progress)
+            self.play(vt.animate.set_value(4), rate_func=linear, run_time=1.5)
+            self.wait(0.1)
+
+-------------
+always_redraw
+-------------
+``always_redraw`` is a simple function that allows you to recreate a mobject at
+every frame of the animation. As an example, check out this animation:
+
+.. manim:: AlwaysRedrawTangentAnimation
+
+    class AlwaysRedrawTangentAnimation(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            ax = Axes()
+            sine = ax.plot(np.sin, color=RED)
+            alpha = ValueTracker(0)
+            point = always_redraw(
+                lambda: Dot(
+                    sine.point_from_proportion(alpha.get_value()),
+                    color=BLUE
+                )
+            )
+            tangent = always_redraw(
+                lambda: TangentLine(
+                    sine,
+                    alpha=alpha.get_value(),
+                    color=YELLOW,
+                    length=4
+                )
+            )
+            self.add(ax, sine, point, tangent)
+            self.play(alpha.animate.set_value(1), rate_func=linear, run_time=2)
+
+-------------------
+Test Your Knowledge
+-------------------
+Try to recreate the following animation!
+
+.. manim:: KnowledgeCheckUpdaters
+    :hide_source:
+
+    class KnowledgeCheckUpdaters(Scene):

+            l1 = Line(6*LEFT,6*RIGHT)
+            l2 = Line(4*DL,3*UR)
+            vt = ValueTracker(0)
+            d1, d2 = Dot(color=RED), Dot(color=ORANGE)
+            txt = MathTex(r"\Delta", color=RED).add_updater(lambda t: t.next_to(d2, LEFT)).scale(2)
+            bt = TracedPath(d1.get_center, stroke_color=RED)
+            tt = TracedPath(d2.get_center, stroke_color=ORANGE)
+            d1.add_updater(lambda d: d.move_to(l1.point_from_proportion(vt.get_value())))
+            d2.add_updater(lambda d: d.move_to(l2.point_from_proportion(vt.get_value())))
+            self.add(d1, d2, bt, tt, txt)
+            self.play(vt.animate.set_value(1), run_time=1.5)
+            self.play(vt.animate.set_value(0.8))
+            self.play(Create(Line(d1.get_center(), d2.get_center(), color=YELLOW)))
+            vmob = VMobject(color=ORANGE).set_points_as_corners([ORIGIN, d1.get_center(), d2.get_center(), ORIGIN]).set_fill(color=[RED,ORANGE,YELLOW], opacity=1).set_z_index(-50)
+            txt.clear_updaters()
+            self.play(Create(vmob), txt.animate.move_to(vmob.get_center()).set_z_index(50).set_color(BLUE))

+Exploring Manim's Capabilities
+##############################
+
+=============
+What is this?
+=============
+
+One of the hardest parts of learning how to use Manim is to deviate from the quickstart and basic examples given in the documentation,
+and coding your own animation. By the end of this, you should have had some experience learning how to go about with this!
+
+--------------------
+Part One: The Basics
+--------------------
+
+Here we talk about the basics: what are Mobjects, Animations, Groups, Updaters, and many other basic aspects of Manim. It gives many examples
+about each concept, and encourages you to test your understanding by recreating certain sequences of animations.
+Feel free to return to this section anytime you need a refresher on something during part two.

+Part Two: The Project
+---------------------
+
+.. note:: As of right now, this section is still under construction.
+
+
+Here is the fun part: We go through and make our own creation from start to finish, explaining how to effectively search the documentation,
+and come up with the logic to make your ideas come to life. By the end of this section, you should be fully prepared to tackle your own project.

+Introduction
+############
+Throughout this guide, we'll walk you through how to create a simple 30 second video about vector addition. If you don't
+already know what that is, it's recommended you watch `this <https://youtu.be/fNk_zzaMoSs?si=fQDML214IeNl0OZ1>`_ video
+by the original creator of manim, 3Blue1Brown.
+
+The next step is figuring out how the project should look: what content should it cover, in what order, etc. In this
+tutorial, we'll focus on two parts of vector addition: the algebraic way, and the geometric way. For the algebraic way,
+we'll show two vectors (as matrices) being added, and give a short explanation. After that we'll show the typical tip-to-tail
+method for adding vectors graphically. Of course, choosing good examples is very important to help the viewer understand.
+In our case, we'll use the two vectors :math:`v_1\equiv\langle 2, 1\rangle` and :math:`v_2\equiv\langle 0,-3 \rangle`.
+
+################
+Vector Addition
+################
+
+We'll start with the basic setup needed for every manim video.
+To do this, we can use the manim cli to speed stuff up. In the terminal,
+run::
+
+  manim init project VectorAddition
+
+This should create a folder called ``VectorAddition`` with the basic setup.
+
+.. hint::
+
+   You may want to open this folder in your IDE (like VS Code, or PyCharm).
+
+You will have a ``manim.cfg`` file, where you configuration will be stored, and a ``main.py`` script.
+The ``main.py`` script is where you will write your scenes.
+
+If you did it correctly, running the python file with ``manim -p main.py`` should render a scene
+with a circle being created:
+
+.. manim:: CreateCircle
+   :hide_source:
+
+   class CreateCircle(Scene):
+      def construct(self):
+          circle = Circle()
+          circle.set_fill(PINK, opacity=0.5)
+
+          square = Square()
+          square.flip(RIGHT)
+          square.rotate(-3 * TAU / 8)
+
+          self.play(Create(square))
+          self.play(Transform(square, circle))
+          self.play(FadeOut(square))
+
+============
+Introduction
+============
+First we need to introduce the viewer to what we're going to talk about. Ideally,
+it would be an interesting hook, but for the sake of learning the library we will
+stick with a simple text-based intro. Try to recreate the following:
+
+.. manim:: AdventureIntro
+    :hide_source:
+    :ref_classes: Tex Text Write Unwrite Create
+
+    class AdventureIntro(Scene):
+        def construct(self):
+            intro = Text("Let's try to add two vectors!")
+            # put an r"" instead of a normal string so we don't have any special characters like \n
+            vec_txts = Tex(r"We'll use $\boldsymbol{\vec{v}_1}=(2, 2)$ and $\boldsymbol{\vec{v}_2}=(0, -3)$")
+            self.play(Create(intro))
+            self.wait(1)
+            # "grey out" the intro and shift it upwards as we write the second line
+            self.play(intro.animate.shift(2*UP).set_opacity(0.5), Write(vec_txts))
+            self.wait(1)
+            self.play(Unwrite(intro), Unwrite(vec_txts), run_time=.5)
+            self.wait(0.2)
+
+
+.. admonition:: Authors solution
+    :class: dropdown
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        class AdventureIntro(Scene):
+            def construct(self):
+                intro = Text("Let's try to add two vectors!")
+                # put an r"" instead of a normal string so we don't have any special characters like \n
+                vec_txts = Tex(
+                    r"We'll use $\boldsymbol{\vec{v}_1}=(2, 2)$ and $\boldsymbol{\vec{v}_2}=(0, -3)$"
+                )
+                self.play(Create(intro))
+                self.wait(1)
+                # "grey out" the intro and shift it upwards as we write the second line
+                self.play(intro.animate.shift(2 * UP).set_opacity(0.5), Write(vec_txts))
+                self.wait(1)
+                self.play(Unwrite(intro), Unwrite(vec_txts), run_time=0.5)
+                self.wait(0.2)
+
+============================
+Algebraic vector addition
+============================
+
+Then, let's show the viewer how vector addition between two vectors is done algebraically.
+Once again, try to recreate the following:
+
+
+.. manim:: AlgebraicAddition
+    :hide_source:
+    :ref_classes: Title MathTex Paragraph Tex Text Write Unwrite Create FadeIn
+
+    class AlgebraicAddition(Scene):

+            math = MathTex(r"""
+                \begin{bmatrix} %(v1x)d \\ %(v1y)d \end{bmatrix}
+                +\begin{bmatrix} %(v2x)d \\ %(v2y)d \end{bmatrix}
+            """ % {
+                'v1x': v1x,

+                'v1y': v1y,
+                'v2y': v2y
+            }).shift(DOWN)
+
+            resultant_vector = r"=\begin{bmatrix} %(x)d \\ %(y)d \end{bmatrix}" % {
+                'x': v1x+v2x,
+                'y': v1y+v2y
+            }
+            math_with_answer = MathTex(
+                math.get_tex_string()+resultant_vector
+            ).move_to(math.get_center())
+
+            self.play(Write(math), FadeIn(title))
+            self.wait(2)
+            self.play(
+                math.animate.shift(2*UP).set_opacity(0.5),
+                Write(math_with_answer)
+            )
+            conclusion = Paragraph("As you can see,\nYou add each component individually").to_edge(DOWN)

+            self.play(Unwrite(math), Unwrite(math_with_answer), Unwrite(conclusion), Unwrite(title))
+
+Hints
+-----
+
+Use :class:`.Title` to display the title at the top of the Scene.
+
+Use :class:`.MathTex` to represent the matrices, and try not to hardcode the values into the LaTeX string. Instead, you can use python string formatting and numpy vector addition, which will make it easier to change the vectors later if we need to.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+

+Hints
+-----
+
+Use :class:`.NumberPlane` to define the cartesian plane.
+
+Use :class:`.Arrow` for the vectors.:
+
+To make sure the label of the vector and the vector shift together, you can define a custom :class:`.VGroup` subclass.
+Take a look at the decorator :func:`.override_animation` to override the :class:`.Create` and :class:`.Uncreate` animations, it will come in handy when animating the subclass.

-# Manim Development Process
-
-## For first-time contributors
-
-1. Install git:
-
-   For instructions see <https://git-scm.com/>.
-
-2. Fork the project:
-
-   Go to <https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim> and click the "fork" button
-   to create a copy of the project for you to work on. You will need a
-   GitHub account. This will allow you to make a "Pull Request" (PR)
-   to the ManimCommunity repo later on.
-
-3. Clone your fork to your local computer:
-
-   ```shell
-   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/manim.git
-   ```
-
-   GitHub will provide both a SSH (`git@github.com:<your-username>/manim.git`) and
-   HTTPS (`https://github.com/<your-username>/manim.git`) URL for cloning.
-   You can use SSH if you have SSH keys setup.
-
-   :::{WARNING}
-   Do not clone the ManimCommunity repository. You must clone your own
-   fork.
-   :::
-
-4. Change the directory to enter the project folder:
-
-   ```shell
-   cd manim
-   ```
-
-5. Add the upstream repository, ManimCommunity:
-
-   ```shell
-   git remote add upstream https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim.git
-   ```
-
-6. Now, `git remote -v` should show two remote repositories named:
-
-   - `origin`, your forked repository
-   - `upstream` the ManimCommunity repository
-
-7. Install the Python project management tool `uv`, as recommended
-   in our {doc}`installation guide for users </installation/uv>`.
-
-8. Let `uv` create a virtual environment for your development
-   installation by running
-
-   ```shell
-   uv sync
-   ```
-
-   In case you need (or want) to install some of the optional dependency
-   groups defined in our [`pyproject.toml`](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/main/pyproject.toml),
-   run `uv sync --all-extras`, or pass the `--extra` flag with the
-   name of a group, for example `uv sync --extra jupyterhub`.
-
-9. Install Pre-Commit:
-
-   ```shell
-   uv run pre-commit install
-   ```
-
-   This will ensure during development that each of your commits is properly
-   formatted against our linter and formatters.
-
-You are now ready to work on Manim!
-
-## Develop your contribution
-
-1. Checkout your local repository's main branch and pull the latest
-   changes from ManimCommunity, `upstream`, into your local repository:
-
-   ```shell
-   git switch main
-   git pull --rebase upstream main
-   ```
-
-2. Create a branch for the changes you want to work on rather than working
-   off of your local main branch:
-
-   ```shell
-   git switch -c <new branch name> upstream/main
-   ```
-
-   This ensures you can easily update your local repository's main with the
-   first step and switch branches to work on multiple features.
-
-3. Write some awesome code!
-
-   You're ready to make changes in your local repository's branch.
-   You can add local files you've changed within the current directory with
-   `git add .`, or add specific files with
-
-   ```shell
-   git add <file/directory>
-   ```
-
-   and commit these changes to your local history with `git commit`. If you
-   have installed pre-commit, your commit will succeed only if none of the
-   hooks fail.
-
-   :::{tip}
-   When crafting commit messages, it is highly recommended that
-   you adhere to [these guidelines](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/).
-   :::
-
-4. Add new or update existing tests.
-
-   Depending on your changes, you may need to update or add new tests. For new
-   features, it is required that you include tests with your PR. Details of
-   our testing system are explained in the {doc}`testing guide <testing>`.
-
-5. Update docstrings and documentation:
-
-   Update the docstrings (the text in triple quotation marks) of any functions
-   or classes you change and include them with any new functions you add.
-   See the {doc}`documentation guide <docs/docstrings>` for more information about how we
-   prefer our code to be documented. The content of the docstrings will be
-   rendered in the {doc}`reference manual <../reference>`.
-
-   :::{tip}
-   Use the {mod}`manim directive for Sphinx <manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive>` to add examples
-   to the documentation!
-   :::
-
-As far as development on your local machine goes, these are the main steps you
-should follow.
-
-(polishing-changes-and-submitting-a-pull-request)=
-
-## Polishing Changes and Submitting a Pull Request
-
-As soon as you are ready to share your local changes with the community
-so that they can be discussed, go through the following steps to open a
-pull request. A pull request signifies to the ManimCommunity organization,
-"Here are some changes I wrote; I think it's worthwhile for you to maintain
-them."
-
-:::{note}
-You do not need to have everything (code/documentation/tests) complete
-to open a pull request (PR). If the PR is still under development, please
-mark it as a draft. Community developers will still be able to review the
-changes, discuss yet-to-be-implemented changes, and offer advice; however,
-the more complete your PR, the quicker it will be merged.
-:::
-
-1. Update your fork on GitHub to reflect your local changes:
-
-   ```shell
-   git push -u origin <branch name>
-   ```
-
-   Doing so creates a new branch on your remote fork, `origin`, with the
-   contents of your local repository on GitHub. In subsequent pushes, this
-   local branch will track the branch `origin` and `git push` is enough.
-
-2. Make a pull request (PR) on GitHub.
-
-   In order to make the ManimCommunity development team aware of your changes,
-   you can make a PR to the ManimCommunity repository from your fork.
-
-   :::{WARNING}
-   Make sure to select `ManimCommunity/manim` instead of `3b1b/manim`
-   as the base repository!
-   :::
-
-   Choose the branch from your fork as the head repository - see the
-   screenshot below.
-
-   ```{image} /_static/pull-requests.png
-   :align: center
-   ```
-
-   Please make sure you follow the template (this is the default
-   text you are shown when first opening the 'New Pull Request' page).
-
-Your changes are eligible to be merged if:
-
-1. there are no merge conflicts
-2. the tests in our pipeline pass
-3. at least one (two for more complex changes) Community Developer approves the changes
-
-You can check for merge conflicts between the current upstream/main and
-your branch by executing `git pull upstream main` locally. If this
-generates any merge conflicts, you need to resolve them and push an
-updated version of the branch to your fork of the repository.
-
-Our pipeline consists of a series of different tests that ensure
-that Manim still works as intended and that the code you added
-sticks to our coding conventions.
-
-- **Code style**: We use the code style imposed
-  by [Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), [isort](https://pycqa.github.io/isort/)
-  and [flake8](https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/). The GitHub pipeline
-  makes sure that the (Python) files changed in your pull request
-  also adhere to this code style. If this step of the pipeline fails,
-  fix your code formatting automatically by running `black <file or directory>` and `isort <file or directory>`.
-  To fix code style problems, run `flake8 <file or directory>` for a style report, and then fix the problems
-  manually that were detected by `flake8`.
-- **Tests**: The pipeline runs Manim's test suite on different operating systems
-  (the latest versions of Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows) for different versions of Python.
-  The test suite consists of two different kinds of tests: integration tests
-  and doctests. You can run them locally by executing `uv run pytest`
-  and `uv run pytest --doctest-modules manim`, respectively, from the
-  root directory of your cloned fork.
-- **Documentation**: We also build a version of the documentation corresponding
-  to your pull request. Make sure not to introduce any Sphinx errors, and have
-  a look at the built HTML files to see whether the formatting of the documentation
-  you added looks as you intended. You can build the documentation locally
-  by running `make html` from the `docs` directory. Make sure you have [Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/)
-  installed locally in order to build the inheritance diagrams. See {doc}`docs` for
-  more information.
-
-Finally, if the pipeline passes and you are satisfied with your changes: wait for
-feedback and iterate over any requested changes. You will likely be asked to
-edit or modify your PR in one way or another during this process. This is not
-an indictment of your work, but rather a strong signal that the community
-wants to merge your changes! Once approved, your changes may be merged!
-
-### Further useful guidelines
-
-1. When submitting a PR, please mention explicitly if it includes breaking changes.
-2. When submitting a PR, make sure that your proposed changes are as general as
-   possible, and ready to be taken advantage of by all of Manim's users. In
-   particular, leave out any machine-specific configurations, or any personal
-   information it may contain.
-3. If you are a maintainer, please label issues and PRs appropriately and
-   frequently.
-4. When opening a new issue, if there are old issues that are related, add a link
-   to them in your new issue (even if the old ones are closed).
-5. When submitting a code review, it is highly recommended that you adhere to
-   [these general guidelines](https://conventionalcomments.org/).
-6. If you find stale or inactive issues that seem to be irrelevant, please post
-   a comment saying 'This issue should be closed', and a community developer
-   will take a look.
-7. Please do as much as possible to keep issues, PRs, and development in
-   general as tidy as possible.
-
-You can find examples for the `docs` in several places:
-the {doc}`Example Gallery <../examples>`, {doc}`Tutorials <../tutorials/index>`,
-and {doc}`Reference Classes <../reference>`.

+
+   .. WARNING::
+
+      Do not clone the ManimCommunity repository. You must clone your own

+
+#.  Change the directory to enter the project folder:
+

+
+#. Now, ``git remote -v`` should show two remote repositories named:
+
+   - ``origin``, your forked repository
+   - ``upstream`` the ManimCommunity repository
+
+#. Install Manim:
+
+   - Follow the steps in our :doc:`installation instructions
+     <../installation>` to install **Manim's system dependencies**.
+     We also recommend installing a LaTeX distribution.
+
+   - We recommend using `Poetry <https://python-poetry.org>`__ to manage your
+     developer installation of Manim. Poetry is a tool for dependency
+     management and packaging in Python. It allows you to declare the libraries
+     your project depends on, and it will manage (install / update) them
+     for you. In addition, Poetry provides a simple interface for
+     managing virtual environments.
+
+     If you choose to use Poetry as well, follow `Poetry's installation
+     guidelines <https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-pipx>`__
+     to install it on your system, then run ``poetry install`` from
+     your cloned repository. Poetry will then install Manim, as well
+     as create and enter a virtual environment. You can always re-enter
+     that environment by running ``poetry shell``.
+
+   - In case you want to install extra dependencies that are defined in
+     the ``[tool.poetry.extras]``  section of ``pyproject.toml``, this can be done by passing
+     the ``-E`` flag, for example ``poetry install -E jupyterlab -E gui``.
+
+   - In case you decided against Poetry, you can install Manim via pip
+     by running ``python3 -m pip install .``. Note that due to our
+     development infrastructure being based on Poetry, we currently
+     do not support editable installs via ``pip``, so you will have
+     to re-run this command every time you make changes to the source
+     code.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The following steps assume that you chose to install and work with
+      Poetry.
+
+#. Install Pre-Commit:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      poetry run pre-commit install
+
+   This will ensure during development that each of your commits is properly
+   formatted against our linter and formatters, ``black``, ``flake8``,
+   ``isort`` and ``codespell``.
+
+You are now ready to work on Manim!
+
+Develop your contribution
+-------------------------
+
+#. Checkout your local repository's main branch and pull the latest
+   changes from ManimCommunity, ``upstream``, into your local repository:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      git checkout main
+      git pull --rebase upstream main
+
+#. Create a branch for the changes you want to work on rather than working
+   off of your local main branch:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      git checkout -b <new branch name> upstream/main
+
+   This ensures you can easily update your local repository's main with the
+   first step and switch branches to work on multiple features.
+
+#. Write some awesome code!
+
+   You're ready to make changes in your local repository's branch.
+   You can add local files you've changed within the current directory with
+   ``git add .``, or add specific files with
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      git add <file/directory>
+
+   and commit these changes to your local history with ``git commit``. If you
+   have installed pre-commit, your commit will succeed only if none of the
+   hooks fail.
+
+   .. tip::
+
+      When crafting commit messages, it is highly recommended that
+      you adhere to `these guidelines <https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/>`_.
+
+#. Add new or update existing tests.
+
+   Depending on your changes, you may need to update or add new tests. For new
+   features, it is required that you include tests with your PR. Details of
+   our testing system are explained in the :doc:`testing guide <testing>`.
+
+
+#. Update docstrings and documentation:
+
+   Update the docstrings (the text in triple quotation marks) of any functions
+   or classes you change and include them with any new functions you add.
+   See the :doc:`documentation guide <docs/docstrings>` for more information about how we
+   prefer our code to be documented. The content of the docstrings will be
+   rendered in the :doc:`reference manual <../reference>`.
+
+   .. tip::
+
+      Use the :mod:`manim directive for Sphinx <manim.utils.docbuild.manim_directive>` to add examples
+      to the documentation!
+
+As far as development on your local machine goes, these are the main steps you
+should follow.
+
+.. _polishing-changes-and-submitting-a-pull-request:
+
+Polishing Changes and Submitting a Pull Request
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+As soon as you are ready to share your local changes with the community
+so that they can be discussed, go through the following steps to open a
+pull request. A pull request signifies to the ManimCommunity organization,
+"Here are some changes I wrote; I think it's worthwhile for you to maintain
+them."
+
+.. note::
+
+   You do not need to have everything (code/documentation/tests) complete
+   to open a pull request (PR). If the PR is still under development, please
+   mark it as a draft. Community developers will still be able to review the
+   changes, discuss yet-to-be-implemented changes, and offer advice; however,
+   the more complete your PR, the quicker it will be merged.
+
+#. Update your fork on GitHub to reflect your local changes:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      git push -u origin <branch name>
+
+   Doing so creates a new branch on your remote fork, ``origin``, with the
+   contents of your local repository on GitHub. In subsequent pushes, this
+   local branch will track the branch ``origin`` and ``git push`` is enough.
+
+
+#. Make a pull request (PR) on GitHub.
+
+   In order to make the ManimCommunity development team aware of your changes,
+   you can make a PR to the ManimCommunity repository from your fork.
+
+   .. WARNING::
+
+      Make sure to select ``ManimCommunity/manim`` instead of ``3b1b/manim``
+      as the base repository!
+
+   Choose the branch from your fork as the head repository - see the
+   screenshot below.
+
+   .. image:: /_static/pull-requests.png
+      :align: center
+
+   Please make sure you follow the template (this is the default
+   text you are shown when first opening the 'New Pull Request' page).
+
+
+Your changes are eligible to be merged if:
+
+#. there are no merge conflicts
+#. the tests in our pipeline pass
+#. at least one (two for more complex changes) Community Developer approves the changes
+
+You can check for merge conflicts between the current upstream/main and
+your branch by executing ``git pull upstream main`` locally. If this
+generates any merge conflicts, you need to resolve them and push an
+updated version of the branch to your fork of the repository.
+
+Our pipeline consists of a series of different tests that ensure
+that Manim still works as intended and that the code you added
+sticks to our coding conventions.
+
+- **Code style**: We use the code style imposed
+  by `Black <https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`_, `isort <https://pycqa.github.io/isort/>`_
+  and `flake8 <https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/>`_. The GitHub pipeline
+  makes sure that the (Python) files changed in your pull request
+  also adhere to this code style. If this step of the pipeline fails,
+  fix your code formatting automatically by running ``black <file or directory>`` and ``isort <file or directory>``.
+  To fix code style problems, run ``flake8 <file or directory>`` for a style report, and then fix the problems
+  manually that were detected by ``flake8``.
+
+- **Tests**: The pipeline runs Manim's test suite on different operating systems
+  (the latest versions of Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows) for different versions of Python.
+  The test suite consists of two different kinds of tests: integration tests
+  and doctests. You can run them locally by executing ``poetry run pytest``
+  and ``poetry run pytest --doctest-modules manim``, respectively, from the
+  root directory of your cloned fork.
+
+- **Documentation**: We also build a version of the documentation corresponding
+  to your pull request. Make sure not to introduce any Sphinx errors, and have
+  a look at the built HTML files to see whether the formatting of the documentation
+  you added looks as you intended. You can build the documentation locally
+  by running ``make html`` from the ``docs`` directory. Make sure you have `Graphviz <https://graphviz.org/>`_
+  installed locally in order to build the inheritance diagrams. See :doc:`docs` for
+  more information.
+
+Finally, if the pipeline passes and you are satisfied with your changes: wait for
+feedback and iterate over any requested changes. You will likely be asked to
+edit or modify your PR in one way or another during this process. This is not
+an indictment of your work, but rather a strong signal that the community
+wants to merge your changes! Once approved, your changes may be merged!
+
+Further useful guidelines
+=========================
+
+#. When submitting a PR, please mention explicitly if it includes breaking changes.
+
+#. When submitting a PR, make sure that your proposed changes are as general as
+   possible, and ready to be taken advantage of by all of Manim's users. In
+   particular, leave out any machine-specific configurations, or any personal
+   information it may contain.
+
+#. If you are a maintainer, please label issues and PRs appropriately and
+   frequently.
+
+#. When opening a new issue, if there are old issues that are related, add a link
+   to them in your new issue (even if the old ones are closed).
+
+#. When submitting a code review, it is highly recommended that you adhere to
+   `these general guidelines <https://conventionalcomments.org/>`_.
+
+#. If you find stale or inactive issues that seem to be irrelevant, please post
+   a comment saying 'This issue should be closed', and a community developer
+   will take a look.
+
+#. Please do as much as possible to keep issues, PRs, and development in
+   general as tidy as possible.
+
+
+You can find examples for the ``docs`` in several places:
+the :doc:`Example Gallery <../examples>`, :doc:`Tutorials <../tutorials/index>`,

 Note that Manim also supports a custom syntax that allows splitting
 a TeX string into substrings easily: simply enclose parts of your formula
 that you want to isolate with double braces. In the string
-``MathTex(r"{{ a^2 }} + {{ b^2 }} = {{ c^2 }}")``, the rendered mobject
+``MathTex(r"{{ a^2 }} + {{ b^2 }} = {{ c^2 }}")``, the rendered mobject
 will consist of the substrings ``a^2``, ``+``, ``b^2``, ``=``, and ``c^2``.
 This makes transformations between similar text fragments easy
 to write using :class:`~.TransformMatchingTex`.
 
-For Manim to recognise a ``{{`` as a group opener, it must appear either
-at the very start of the string or be immediately preceded by a whitespace
-character.  This means that ``{{`` embedded directly after non-whitespace
-LaTeX — such as ``\frac{{{n}}}{k}`` or ``a^{{2}}`` — is left untouched,
-which prevents accidental splitting of ordinary nested-brace expressions.
-To stop a leading ``{{`` from being treated as a group opener, insert a
-space between the two braces: ``{{ ... }}`` → ``{ { ... } }``.
