Summary description: Creating and managing exercises, and reusing them as
composed sets
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overdue publishing! Many fixes and new features.
Due to changes in behaviour and appearance of some commands, although most
changes fairly small and non fatal, I still increased the minor build version.
These are the main changes:
Changes:
- Activated \ppMarginAbove (it now does something)
- Moved tag placement for when \ShowTags active
- Part problem header is removed if only one part problem
- Changed default spacing of around exercises, partproblems, intros and
such.
New features:
- Added possibility of custom part problem header from \nextproblem
- Added possibility of showing problem only when \DisplaySolutions active
- Created \ShowAllTags for clearing tags list
- Added \exercisepoints for getting total number of points in an exercise/problem.
- Introduced \SolutionsOnly
- added \pgref and \ppgref for global referencing problems and part problems.
- Added \exercisebankversion and \exercisebankbuild (for easier debugging)
- Possibility to toggle whether part problem header showing if only one part problem is displayed: \exercisebanksetup{show lonely part problems}
- Added \thisfilepath for getting path of current exercisefile
- Added \buildsprite for building selected sets as a sprite (all sets compressed on a few pages for overview). e.g. \buildsprite{set1,set2}
Bug fixes:
- Corrected use of the length \ppMarginBelow
- Fixed bug where \phead and \ShowFilenames crash
- Fixed bug where part problem header repeats if solution is itemize.
- \buildset now gives error if set does not exist.
- Made \HideTags cummulative.
- Raises error when pdfTeX(or pdfLaTeX) is not used.
- Allow underscore for files in \makeset
- Prevent overwriting of \graphicspath
- Fixed bug where error comes at 123 exercises or more (TeX capacity exceeded error).
A special mention to the github users @tristelune1 for doing a lot of the testing for this version!
Thank you!
