I have created a personal package that contains the definition of a summary box.

This box has an optional argument that is the current school year (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below).

I would like to be able to calculate the current school year automatically.

• Thus, for a compilation between September 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019, the school year displayed is 2018/2019 by default.


• Otherwise, if this option is set to 2017, it will display as it does today 2017/2018.

How can this be achieved?

The current code is the one of @jbfu's response:

Here is a way with NewDocumentCommand and checking the year and month counter registers.

Apparently a school year is pretty much exactly one year in France (so different to Germany, where it usually begins in August/September and ends in June/July -- school's out for summer is not counted here)

currentschoolyear has one optional argument, tested with IfValueTF -- without the argument, the month is whether it is smaller than 9 if this is the case, it is the time from January to August, so it is the current school year at that period, if month is 9 or larger, the value advances to the next year, i.e. 2019/09/21 would give 2019/2020, whereas 2019/05/21 will return 2018/2019.

NewDocumentCommand{currentschoolyear}{+o}{%

  IfValueTF{#1}{%

    sfrac{#1}{thenumexpr#1+1}%

  }{%

    ifnummonth<9%

    sfrac{thenumexpryear-1}{theyear}%

    else

    sfrac{theyear}{thenumexpryear+1}%

    fi

  }%

}

In order to test for empty arguments from the tcolorbox environment either use ifblank (a etoolbox macro) or switch over to the more sophisticated NewTColorBox macro that allows checks for xparse - like argument specifiers.

month=9 can be used in order to explicitly set the month, if needed.
