How do I solve this integration by parts question with tan-1?

Using integration of parts, find the exact value of ∫tan-1(1/2x) dx between the limits of 2 and 0.


After I apply the integration by parts rules, I obtain tan-1(x) •x-ln(x2+4) between 2 and 0 however the complete integration they give in the mark scheme is 2θtanθ+2ln(cosθ). Their final answer is 1/2pi-ln2.


Any help in the steps to get here would be very much appreciated!! :)
