NAME
AMC-prepare - prepares working documents from LaTeX source file
SYNOPSIS
auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s --prefix project-dir mcq-source-file
auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b --data project-data-dir mcq-source-file
DESCRIPTION
The AMC-prepare.pl command extracts working documents from the source file describing the multiple choice questionnaire. Information to be extracted depends on the --mode argument value. In any mode, the source filename must be given as an argument.
• with "--mode s", AMC-prepare.pl makes the subject file (answer sheet to be printed and given to the students), the correction (single corrected answer sheet) and the positions file (file containing information about the positions of the boxes on the pages). The following arguments can be used:
- --out-sujet subject.pdf
-
sets the subject file to build.
- --out-corrige corrected.pdf
-
sets the correction to build.
- --out-calage calage.xy
-
sets the positions file to build.
- --prefix directory
-
this directory is only necessary if one or more of the three previous options are not used: default values are then directory/sujet.pdf, directory/corrige.pdf and directory/calage.xy.
• with "--mode b", AMC-prepare.pl extracts scoring data from the source file. In this mode, the --data argument must be used (see below).
The following optional arguments can be used in any mode:
- --with latex-engine
-
gives the LaTeX engine (command) to be used. latex-engine can be pdflatex or xelatex for example.
- --filter filter
-
sets the filter name to transform the MCQ source file into a LaTeX file. Native filters are latex (no change at all) and plain (source is an AMC-TXT file).
- --filtered-source mcq-latex-file
-
gives the LaTeX file to make from the source file using specified filter. If omitted, a filename derived from mcq-source-file adding _filtered.tex is used.
- --n-copies n
-
sets the number of copies to produce, overriding the number given in the LaTeX source file (first argument of the \onecopy command).
- --debug file.log
-
gives a file to fill with debugging information.
- --epoch EPOCH
-
gives an epoch (number of seconds since january 1, 1970) to get a reproducible pdf output.
- --data project-data-dir
-
sets the directory where the project's SQLite data files are.
