\markpkg{exframe} is a \LaTeXe{} package
which provides a general purpose framework to describe and typeset
exercises and exam questions along with their solutions.
The package features mechanisms
to hide or postpone solutions,
to assign and handle points,
to collect problems on exercise sheets,
to store and use metadata
and to implement a consistent numbering.
It also provides a very flexible interface for configuring and customising
the formatting, layout and representation of the exercise content.

\section{Introduction}

This package provides a framework to describe and typeset
exercises (homework problems, classroom exercises, quizzes, exam questions,
exercise questions in books and lecture notes, \ldots)
and their solutions or answers.
The aim of this package is to set up a few \LaTeX{} environments
into which questions and corresponding answers can be filled conveniently.
The main task of the package is to manage the text and data
that are provided in the source document,
perform some common operations on them,
and then output the content appropriately.
The package has the following goals, tasks and features:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item
The package is designed with generality in mind.
It is meant to be usable in many different situations.
The primary target is science and education, but it may well
be useful in other areas.

\item
The package defines a basic functional layout for the output
and provides many options to reshape the layout and formatting
according to the author's needs and wishes.

\item
The package can handle two layers of exercises:
main problems and subproblems.
The use of subproblems is optional.

\item
The display of solutions can be configured:
Solutions can be hidden for a hand-out version of exercise sheets.
When displayed, they may appear immediately,
collectively after the problem,
at the end of each sheet or at some manually defined location.

\item
The package can handle exercise sheets which combine several exercise problems:
A \LaTeX{} document can consist of an individual sheet
or of a collection of sheets (e.g.\ spanning a lecture course).
In the latter case, the document files can be set up
such that single sheets as well as a collection of all sheets can be compiled;
the package \ctanpkg{childdoc} may be of assistance.

\item
The package can handle points to be credited:
Points will be displayed according to the layout.
Overall points for a problem or a sheet can be added automatically.
Points can also be stored and used elsewhere.

\item
The package provides an interface to specify exercise metadata
(author, source, \ldots):
Some basic types of metadata are predefined and more specific metadata
categories can be added.

\item
The package can use alternative counters for equations
within solutions (and problems). This is to ensure a consistent
numbering independently of whether solutions are output or not.

\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Usage}
\label{sec:usage}

To use the package \ctanpkg{exframe} add the command
%
\begin{center}
|\usepackage{exframe}|
\end{center}
%
to the preamble of the \LaTeX{} document.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Exercise Environments}
\label{sec:environments}

The package provides four environments
to describe the main entities of exercise problems.
Additional information on the exercises can be provided
in the optional arguments to these environments
which will be discussed in the following sections.
Furthermore, a limited set of commands
is provided for control and extra features,
see the sections below for details.

\DescribeEnv{problem}
The |problem| environment describes
an exercise problem:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{problem}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|  |\textit{problem text and subproblems}\\
|\end{problem}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
As one of the many available options \textit{opts},
one can provide a title for the exercise by
specifying |title={|\textit{title}|}|.
If no title is given, the problem number will be displayed instead.
See \secref{sec:metadata} and \secref{sec:points}
for a description of the available options.

\DescribeEnv{subproblem}
The |subproblem| environment describes
a subproblem, part or an individual question of an exercise problem:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{subproblem}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|  |\textit{subproblem text}\\
|\end{subproblem}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
A |subproblem| environment must be contained within a |problem| environment
(however, a |problem| block need not contain |subproblem| blocks).

\DescribeEnv{solution}
The |solution| environment describes
the solution to a problem or a subproblem:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{solution}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|  |\textit{solution text}\\
|\end{solution}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
A |solution| environment should be
at the end of a |subproblem| or |problem| environment
(it is not mandatory to provide a |solution|).
It can be contained within the corresponding environment or it can follow it
(where needed, the option |forproblem| associates a |solution|
following a |subproblem| to the encompassing |problem|
rather than the preceding |subproblem|).
Depending on the choice of solution display, see \secref{sec:solutions},
the output may have a slightly different layout.
In terms of logic, it is preferred
to define a solution \emph{within} the corresponding environment;
this may also have some technical advantages and produce
a slightly better result in terms of layout.

\DescribeEnv{sheet}
The |sheet| environment describes an exercise sheet:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{sheet}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|  |\textit{sheet text and problems}\\
|\end{sheet}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
A sheet typically contains one or several problems
(it is not mandatory to group problems into a |sheet|).
There may or may not be additional auxiliary text introducing the problems.
A header will be added to the sheet according to the specified layout.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Solution and Problem Display}
\label{sec:solutions}

There are several options to control the output of solutions
and of problems.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{solutions}
Most importantly, the display of solutions
can be disabled or enabled altogether:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisesetup{solutions|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|
\end{center}
%
Solutions are hidden by default,
and their display needs to be activated explicitly
(it suffices to specify the option |solutions| without the value |true|).
It is also possible to control the display
by an analogous package option |solutions|,
see \secref{sec:options} for further information.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\ifsolutions}
\DescribeMacro{onlysolutions}
The display of solutions is reflected by the conditional |\ifsolutions|.
As the hiding of solutions is performed automatically,
the conditional would typically be used to change some details,
e.g.\ for adjusting titles:
%
\begin{center}
|\ifsolutions Solutions\||else Exercises\||fi|
\end{center}
%
Alternatively, content to be processed only in solutions mode
can be enclosed in an |onlysolutions| block:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{onlysolutions}|\\
|...|\\
|\end{onlysolutions}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
This structure can be useful to hide auxiliary text or material
if all solution content is to be stripped from a source file,
e.g.\ by an automated \textsf{sed} filter rule
(doubling of backslashes required for \textsf{sed}
as well as for shell script strings):
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|sed "/\\\\begin{solution}/,/\\\\end{solution}/d;"\|\\
|"/\\\\begin{onlysolutions}/,/\\\\end{onlysolutions}/d"|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{solutionequation}
As solutions can contain numbered equations
while the display of solutions can be switched on and off,
it is important to assign a different counter for equations within solutions
in order for the equation numbers to be stable.
A separate counter for equations within solutions is enabled by default.
It can be disabled by:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisestyle{solutionequation=false}|
\end{center}
%
This option prepends the letter `S' to equation
numbers within solutions which are counted separately;
the display can be configured differently, see \secref{sec:layout}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{solutionbelow}
\DescribeMacro{\insertsolutions}
The package allows to collect solutions
and defer their display to particular locations:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisestyle{solutionbelow=|\textit{pos}|}|
\end{center}
%
The available choices for \textit{pos} are
to display solutions where they are defined (|here|),
defer them to the end of the current subproblem (|subproblem|),
problem (|problem|) or sheet (|sheet|)
or display them at a manually chosen location (|manual|).
Note that typically solutions are defined at the end of a (sub)problem
and therefore the choice |here| is similar to (|sub|)|problem|.
The latter form, however, makes sure that a solution
does not inherit the margin of the parent environment.
The alternate modes |problem*| and |subproblem*|
positions the solution \emph{after} the (sub)problem environment
such that it does not inherit any layout,
but also no definitions made in the parent environment.
In |manual| mode, all solutions are collected (with appropriate headers)
until they are output by the directive |\insertsolutions|.
If no solutions are stored in the buffer
(or if the mode is not |manual|), |\insertsolutions| has no effect.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\writesolutions}
Another option to handle solutions is to write them to a file
for later use.
Writing to a file is initiated by:
%
\begin{center}
|\writesolutions[|\textit{filename}|]|
\end{center}
%
The optional argument describes the filename as \textit{filename}|.sol|;
no argument defaults to the main tex filename as |\jobname.sol|;
the extension |.sol| can be customised by the configuration |extsolutions|.
This mode overrides the |solutionbelow| behaviour described above;
all subsequent solutions are written to the file.
The file is closed by |\closesolutions| and the display of solutions
returns to manual mode.
It is not necessary to close a file as it will be closed
automatically by reading from a file, writing to another file
or by the end of the document.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\readsolutions}
Solutions are read from a file by:
%
\begin{center}
|\readsolutions[|\textit{filename}|]|
\end{center}
%
This command outputs a sectional title
and reads the file via |\input{|\textit{filename}|.sol}|.

\medskip

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{solutionbuf}
\DescribeMacro{problembuf}
\DescribeMacro{subproblembuf}
The package offers similar functionality to control the display of problems.
In order to have any control over the content of |problem| and |subproblem|
environments, the latter need to be read into an internal buffer.
Reading of solutions and problems to internal buffers is activated
or deactivated by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exercisesetup{solutionbuf|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|\\
|\exercisesetup{problembuf|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|\\
|\exercisesetup{subproblembuf|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
By default, |solution| environments are read to an internal buffer,
while the content of [|sub|]|problem| environments is processed directly
by the \TeX\ engine.
Therefore, the below options to control the display
of [|sub|]|problem| environments
require the statement |\exercisesetup{|[|sub|]|problembuf}|.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{problemmanual}
\DescribeMacro{\insertproblems}
The immediate display of |problem| environments is controlled by:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisestyle{problemmanual|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|
\end{center}
%
In the default automatic mode, problems are displayed directly
where they are declared.
In manual mode, problems are collected to an internal buffer,
and only displayed by issuing |\insertproblems|.

Note that |solution| environments should be
declared within the corresponding |problem| environment in order to
preserve their appropriate association.
The |solution| environment is then processed at the place
where the |problem| environment is displayed,
and it may (or may not) be deferred further.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\writeproblems}
\DescribeMacro{\readproblems}
Problems can be written out to an external file for later usage.
The functionality is analogous to solutions
and uses the macros:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\writeproblems[|\textit{filename}|]|\\
|\readproblems[|\textit{filename}|]|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
The optional argument describes the filename as \textit{filename}|.prb|;
no argument defaults to the main tex filename as |\jobname.prb|;
the extension |.prb| can be customised by the configuration |extproblems|.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{disable}
\DescribeMacro{insertproblemselect}
\DescribeMacro{insertsubproblemselect}
The display of a particular [|sub|]|problem|
can be suppressed altogether by an optional argument:
%
\begin{center}
|\begin{|[|sub|]|problem}[disable]|
\end{center}
%

This option can be exploited to automatically
suppress certain classes of problems as follows:
A hook function |insert|[|sub|]|problemselect| declared by:
%
\begin{center}
|\exerciseconfig{insert|[|sub|]|problemselect}[1]{|\textit{code}|}|
\end{center}
%
can call
|\set|[|sub|]|problemdata{disable}| whenever a problem is to be suppressed.
In order to decide, the optional argument of the [|sub|]|problem| environment
is passed on to the hook function as the single argument.
Note that the argument needs to be processed manually.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Metadata}
\label{sec:metadata}

In a collection of exercise problems
it makes sense to keep track of metadata
for the overall collection as well as for individual problems
and potentially display some of them.
The framework defines a standard set of metadata fields
and offers functionality to add more specialised metadata fields.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\exercisedata}
Global metadata is specified by the command:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisedata{|\textit{data}|}|
\end{center}
%
The argument \textit{data}
is a comma-separated list of metadata specifications
in the form \textit{key}|={|\textit{value}|}|.
The standard set of global metadata keys consists of:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |author|:
principal author(s) of the exercise collection;
also invokes the \LaTeX{} command |\author|;
will be written to pdf documents.
\item |title|:
title of the exercise collection;
also invokes the \LaTeX{} command |\title|;
will be written to pdf documents.
\item |date|:
date of the exercise collection;
also invokes the \LaTeX{} command |\date|;
will be written to pdf documents.
\item |subject|:
subject area of the exercise collection;
will be written to pdf documents.
\item |keyword|:
keyword(s) for the exercise collection;
will be written to pdf documents.
\item |course|:
title of the course (class, lecture, module, \ldots)
for the exercise collection.
\item |institution|:
institution (school, department, institute, university, \ldots)
offering the course or exercise collection.
\item |instructor|:
instructor(s) for the course or exercise;
this field refers to person(s) who organise
the corresponding course or exercises
whereas |author| refers to the principal creator of the material.
\item |period|:
period (year, season, date, term identifier, \ldots)
of the corresponding course.
\item |material|:
type of material
(exercises, homework assignments, exam, quizzes, solutions, \ldots).
\end{itemize}
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\defexercisedata}
Additional custom fields for global metadata can be created with:
%
\begin{center}
|\defexercisedata{|\textit{key}|}|
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\getexercisedata}
\DescribeMacro{\exercisedataempty}
Global metadata should typically be specified
somewhere at the top of the main document,
and it can be inserted wherever needed.
There are two commands to read and process metadata.
To insert the value of metadata field \textit{key} use:
%
\begin{center}
|\getexercisedata{|\textit{key}|}|
\end{center}
%
In some situations the output should depend on whether
a metadata has been filled
(e.g.\ to fill a default value or to display something else instead).
This can be checked with the conditional:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisedataempty{|\textit{key}|}|%
  |{|\textit{empty code}|}{|\textit{filled code}|}|
\end{center}
%
The \textit{empty code} is executed if no value
or an empty value has been specified;
otherwise the \textit{filled code} is executed.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{sheet}
\DescribeMacro{problem}
The package offers a similar mechanism to describe and use metadata
for sheets and problems:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{sheet}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|\begin{problem}[|\textit{opts}|]|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
The argument \textit{opt}
is a comma-separated list which can contain metadata specifications
in the form \textit{key}|={|\textit{value}|}|.
The standard set of metadata keys for sheets consists of:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |due|:
indication of the due date for the exercise sheet.
\item |handout|:
indication of the handout date for the exercise sheet.
\item |title|:
specifies a title for the sheet;
when reading value (see below), returns composed title;
untitled sheets will be displayed by their number;
title will be written to pdf documents.
\item |rawtitle| (for reading only):
contains the raw title as specified by |title|.
\item |author|:
author(s) of the sheet;
will be written to pdf documents.
\item |editor|:
editor(s) of the sheet; this field refers to a person
who makes adjustments to the sheet
whereas |author| refers to the creator of the sheet.
\item |editdate|:
indication of the date when the sheet was last edited.
\end{itemize}
%
The standard set of metadata keys for problems consists of:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |title|:
specifies a title for the problem;
when reading value (see below), returns composed title;
untitled problems will be displayed by their number.
\item |rawtitle| (for reading only):
contains the raw title as specified by |title|.
\end{itemize}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\defsheetdata}
\DescribeMacro{\setsheetdata}
\DescribeMacro{\getsheetdata}
\DescribeMacro{\sheetdataempty}
\DescribeMacro{\defproblemdata}
\DescribeMacro{\setproblemdata}
\DescribeMacro{\getproblemdata}
\DescribeMacro{\problemdataempty}
Metadata for sheets can be used in the same way as the global metadata.
The following directives are analogous to |\defexercisedata|,
|\exercisedata|, |\getexercisedata| and |\exercisedataempty|:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\defsheetdata{|\textit{key}|}|\\
|\setsheetdata{|\textit{data}|}|\\
|\getsheetdata{|\textit{key}|}|\\
|\sheetdataempty{|\textit{key}|}|%
  |{|\textit{empty code}|}{|\textit{filled code}|}|\\[1ex]
|\defproblemdata{|\textit{key}|}|\\
|\setproblemdata{|\textit{data}|}|\\
|\getproblemdata{|\textit{key}|}|\\
|\problemdataempty{|\textit{key}|}|%
  |{|\textit{empty code}|}{|\textit{filled code}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{pdfdata}
\DescribeMacro{\writeexercisedata}
The most relevant metadata can be written to
the metadata section of pdf files
(using pdf\LaTeX{} and the package \ctanpkg{hyperref}
whenever loaded).
This feature is configured by:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisesetup{pdfdata|[|=auto|\textbar|manual|%
  \textbar|sheet|\textbar|off|]|}|
\end{center}
%
The option |auto| writes the global metadata
|title|, |author|, |subject| and |keyword|
to the corresponding fields in the pdf file.
To make this work, these must be defined before the
|\begin{document}| directive.
The option |manual| allows to manually write these metadata
by the command |\writeexercisedata|.
It should be issued after the metadata have been set,
but before any content is written to the pdf file.
In other words, it can be anywhere in the document preamble
directly after |\begin{document}|,
or following a couple of content-free definitions at the beginning
of the document body (in case the metadata should be set
within the document body for some reason).
The option |sheet| writes out the metadata
at the beginning of the first |sheet| environment
(which should follow |\begin{document}| without any content in between).
This option is primarily for filling the
|author| and |title| fields with metadata
of a sheet rather than a collection of exercises.
Note that if no |author| is defined for the sheet,
the global metadata |author| is used.
The option |off| disables all writing of metadata.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{problem}
\DescribeMacro{subproblem}
\DescribeMacro{solution}
There is an additional mechanism to keep track of metadata
for problems, subproblems and solutions
which can be displayed in the opening line of these entities.
Displayed metadata serve two purposes:
they are used to describe the quality of a problem
or they are intended for internal documentation purposes.
Their output can be controlled individually,
e.g.\ only in development versions of a document.
Note that specifying a key more than once
will display the content multiple times
in the order in which they are encountered.
Displayed metadata are specified
at the top of the corresponding environment:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\begin{problem}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|\begin{subproblem}[|\textit{opts}|]|\\
|\begin{solution}[|\textit{opts}|]|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%

The standard set of displayed metadata keys consists of:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |author|:
author(s) of the problem (or subproblem, solution).
\item |editor|:
editor(s) of the problem; this field refers to a person
who has made adjustments to the problem
whereas |author| refers to the creator of the problem.
\item |source|:
source of the problem;
in case the problem has been taken from elsewhere
(conceptually or literally).
\item |difficulty|:
indication of the level of difficulty of the problem.
\item |keyword|:
keyword(s) for the problem;
\item |comment|:
some comment on the problem.
\item |optional|
(display enabled by default):
whether addressing the problem is mandatory or optional;
by default the text will be displayed after the title
in italic shape.
\end{itemize}
%
By default, only the |optional| items are displayed,
all other types of items are hidden;
controlling the display for each type of item is described below.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{extdata}
Further displayed metadata keys
are defined by the package option |extdata|, see \secref{sec:options}:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |review|:
field to review the aspects of the problem
(quality, length, appropriateness, difficulty, \ldots).
\item |recycle|:
indication of previous instances where this problem was used.
\item |timesolve|:
indication of the time needed to solve this problem (or subproblem).
\item |timepresent|:
indication of the time needed to present this problem
(or subproblem, solution).
\end{itemize}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\showprobleminfo}
The display of the above metadata fields for a problem
(or subproblem, solution) is controlled by:
%
\begin{center}
|\showprobleminfo{|\textit{keys}|}|
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{keys} is a comma-separated list of keys to
be activated (\textit{key} or \textit{key}|=true|)
or deactivated (\textit{key}|=false|).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\defprobleminfo}
Displayable metadata can be defined or adjusted by:
%
\begin{center}
|\defprobleminfo{|\textit{key}|}{|\textit{code}|}|
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{key} specifies the metadata field and
\textit{code} the code to display this type of metadata
where the argument |#1| represents the data to be displayed.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{insertprobleminfo}
\DescribeMacro{insertsubprobleminfo}
\DescribeMacro{insertsolutioninfo}
\DescribeMacro{\addprobleminfo}
\DescribeMacro{\addprobleminfo*}
Additional information can be injected into the opening line
of problems and solutions by the definitions:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exerciseconfig{insertprobleminfo}{|\textit{code}|}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{insertsubprobleminfo}{|\textit{code}|}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{insertsolutioninfo}{|\textit{code}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
The hook code \textit{code} will be called after processing
the environment arguments. Information can be added to the opening line by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\addprobleminfo{|\textit{info}|}|\\
|\addprobleminfo*{|\textit{info}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
The unstarred command adds information at the end of the opening line,
the starred version at the beginning (but after the title or identifier).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Points}
\label{sec:points}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{points}
Exercise problems or certain parts of them
can be credited with points (credits, awards, \ldots).
The package provides an interface to specify and manage such points.
Points are declared by the option |points=|\textit{points}
for the environments |sheet|, |problem| and |subproblem|.
These numbers will be printed to the opening line of
problems and subproblems.

Note that the points should normally be integer numbers.
Fractional points are permissible as well,
but the internal storage by the \TeX{} engine is somewhat limited,
so that only fractions with powers of two as denominators
(.5, multiples of .25, .125, .0625, \ldots) are reliable.
More general fractional decimal numbers such as multiples of 0.2
will be subject to rounding errors and will not display nicely.

Bonus points can be specified in the format
|points=|[\textit{regular}][|+|\textit{bonus}].
By default, such points will be printed as
[\textit{regular}][|+|\textit{bonus}] where 0 components are omitted.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{problempointsat}
\DescribeMacro{subproblempointsat}
\DescribeMacro{solutionpointsat}
The location where points of problems and subproblems
shall be displayed can be adjusted individually by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exercisestyle{problempointsat=start|\textbar|start*|\textbar|margin|%
  \textbar|end|\textbar|manual|\textbar|off}|\\
|\exercisestyle{subproblempointsat=start|\textbar|start*|\textbar|margin|%
  \textbar|end|\textbar|manual|\textbar|off}|\\
|\exercisestyle{solutionpointsat=start|\textbar|start*|\textbar|margin|%
  \textbar|end|\textbar|manual|\textbar|off}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
The default values are |start| and |end| for problems and subproblems,
respectively.
The option |start| displays points at
the very end of the opening line;
the option |start*| displays them at the start of it.
The option |end| displays points at the end of the
problem or subproblem text.
The option |margin| displays points in the margin.
The option |manual| displays points at a manually chosen location
specified by the directive |\showpoints|.
Note that |\showpoints| can also be used for the option |end|
to display the points prematurely
(e.g.\ if the text ends with a displayed equation,
it may make sense to display the points just before the equation).
The option |off| disables the display of points.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\getsheetdata}
Points for sheets are only stored by the package;
they must displayed manually.
Within the corresponding |sheet| environment
the points can be accessed by:
%
\begin{center}
|\getsheetdata{points}|
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\getsheetpoints}
\DescribeMacro{\getproblempoints}
\DescribeMacro{\getsubproblempoints}
\DescribeMacro{\getsolutionpoints}
\DescribeMacro{\extractpoints}
\DescribeMacro{\switchpoints}
The package allows to read the point totals
for other sheets and problems:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\getsheetpoints{|[\textit{tag}]|}|\\
|\getproblempoints{|[\textit{tag}]|}|\\
|\getsubproblempoints{|[\textit{tag}]|}|\\
|\getsolutionpoints{}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{tag} is the tag assigned to the corresponding sheet or problem,
see \secref{sec:labels}.
An empty argument \textit{tag} refers to the current
sheet, (sub)problem or solution.
If bonus points are used, the points will be returned
in the format [\textit{regular}][|+|\textit{bonus}];
the components \textit{regular} and \textit{bonus}
can be extracted from the returned expression
by |\extractpoints| and |\extractpoints*|, respectively.
A convenient case switch of the returned value can be performed by:
%
\begin{center}
|\switchpoints{|\textit{reg}|}{|\textit{bonus}|}{|\textit{both}|}{|%
\textit{none}|}{|\textit{val}|}|
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{val} is the value returned from the points register,
\textit{reg} is displayed for purely regular points,
\textit{bonus} is displayed for purely bonus points,
\textit{both} is displayed for mixed points,
\textit{none} is displayed for no points.
In each of the four expressions,
|#1| will be replaced by the regular points
and |#2| by the bonus points.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\awardpoints}
Grading instructions with points to be awarded
can be specified in the solution text by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\awardpoints[|\textit{details}|]{|\textit{points}|}|\\
|\awardpoints*[|\textit{details}|]{|\textit{points}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{details} is an optional text with further details,
e.g.\ to explain under which conditions
these points are to be awarded.
The starred form is used to specify optional points or alternative paths
with alternative grading instructions.
These points will be marked and not be used for the computation of a total.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{warntext}
The package attempts to add up
the points of subproblems to the problem total
and likewise the points of problems to the sheet total.
The package also performs some sanity checks on the provided numbers:
If points are specified for both subproblems and problems
or for both problems and sheets, they will be compared.
Also the points within solutions (excluding optional or alternative points)
are added up and compared to the corresponding problem or subproblem.
Furthermore the package checks whether points
are defined for all subproblems within a problem
or all problems within a sheet.
Mismatches are reported as package warnings.
As point mismatches can be rather severe,
there is an option to write such warnings directly into
the output document (to be removed before distribution):
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisesetup{warntext|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{fracpoints}
The package offers pretty display of fractional points
with denominators 2, 4 and 8 by writing the decimal part
as a fraction, e.g.\ 1.75 $\to$ 1$^3\mskip-4mu/\mskip-2mu_4$.
This feature is enabled by:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisestyle{fracpoints}|
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Labels and Tags}
\label{sec:labels}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{label}
\LaTeX{} provides labels to make references to remote parts of the text.
Labels can be set as usual by |\label{|\textit{label}|}| within the
|problem|, |subproblems| and |sheet| environments.
Alternatively, they can be specified
as the environment option:
%
\begin{center}
|label={|\textit{label}|}|
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{tag}
\DescribeMacro{\sheettag}
\DescribeMacro{\problemtag}
\DescribeMacro{\subproblemtag}
The package provides an additional mechanism to tag sheets and problems.
Each |sheet|, |problem| and |subproblem|
can be assigned a unique tag \textit{tag} by
the environment option:
%
\begin{center}
|tag={|\textit{tag}|}|
\end{center}
%
This tag is used for reading point totals
as described in \secref{sec:points}.
Furthermore, the macro |\sheettag|, |\problemtag| or |\subproblemtag|
is set to the tag \textit{tag} within the current environment.
If no tag is specified it defaults to the number
of the current sheet or (sub)problem;
note that this number can change by reordering sheets and problems
and therefore it should not be used to identify the entity from
other parts of the document.

A useful application for tags is to encapsulate labels
within individual sheets and problems
which are part of a collection of exercises.
Labels which are composed as
|\sheettag-|\textit{label} or
|\problemtag-|\textit{label}
can be considered local and will not clash with labels
defined within a different environment.
Within the same sheet or problem, local labels can be accessed
by the same construction.
They can also be accessed from remote parts of the document by fully
expanding |\sheettag| or |\problemtag| for the desired target environment.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{autolabelsheet}
\DescribeMacro{autolabelproblem}
If unique tags are specified, the package can automatically create labels
for sheets (|sheet:|\textit{tag}) and problems (|prob:|\textit{tag}) by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exercisesetup{autolabelsheet|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|\\
|\exercisesetup{autolabelproblem|[|=true|\textbar|false|]|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\getsheetlist}
\DescribeMacro{\getproblemlist}
\DescribeMacro{\getsubproblemlist}
Tags can also be used to process a list of sheets, problems and subproblems:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\getsheetlist{}|\\
|\getproblemlist{|[\textit{sheet-tag}]\textbar|*}|\\
|\getsubproblemlist{|[\textit{problem-tag}]|}|\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
These commands return a list of sheets, problems and subproblems tags,
where each item is encapsulated in braces.
The commands |\get|[|sub|]|problemlist| return the (sub)problems
within the specified sheet or problem. If no argument is given,
the current sheet or problem is assumed.
|\getproblemlist*| returns the list of all problems.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseloop}
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseloopstr}
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseloopret}
\DescribeMacro{exerciseloop}
The package defines two commands to walk through such a list:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exerciseloop{|\textit{items}|}{|\textit{cmd}|}|\\
|\exerciseloopstr[|\textit{ret}|]{|\textit{items}|}{|\textit{str}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
Here, \textit{items} is a list of items in braces,
and |\exerciseloop| evaluates \textit{cmd}
for each item of the list where `|#1|' is replaced by the item.
The command |\exerciseloopstr| concatenates
the evaluations of \textit{str}
and returns the resulting string in the macro \textit{ret}
(which defaults to |\exerciseloopret|).
Both commands maintain a counter of items |exerciseloop|
which can be accessed within \textit{cmd}/\textit{str} or
after |\exerciseloop|[|str|] to obtain the total number of items
in the list.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Layout}
\label{sec:layout}

The package provides a large number of parameters to adjust the
display of exercises to a desired layout.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseconfig}
Configuration settings are declared and modified by the command:
%
\begin{center}
|\exerciseconfig{|\textit{key}|}[|\textit{narg}|]{|\textit{value}|}|
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{key} is a key and \textit{value} is its assigned value.
Configuration options can also be macros with arguments in which case
\textit{narg} is the number of arguments and \textit{value}
is the macro definition using arguments |#|\textit{n}.
The command |\exerciseconfig| therefore is analogous to
|\|(|re|)|newcommand| except that the definitions are
encapsulated by the package and any previous definition
is overwritten without checking.

\DescribeMacro{\exerciseconfigappend}
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseconfigprepend}
In some cases it may be useful to be able to
append or prepend to a (parameterless) definition by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exerciseconfigappend{|\textit{key}|}{|\textit{value}|}|\\
|\exerciseconfigprepend{|\textit{key}|}{|\textit{value}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\getexerciseconfig}
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseconfigempty}
Configuration definitions can be read by:
%
\begin{center}
|\getexerciseconfig{|\textit{key}|}|[\textit{arguments}]
\end{center}
%
The number of arguments after |{|\textit{key}|}|
must match the optional argument \textit{nargs} of the definition.
Furthermore, it can be checked whether a configuration definition
is empty:
%
\begin{center}
|\exerciseconfigempty{|\textit{key}|}|%
  |{|\textit{empty code}|}{|\textit{filled code}|}|
\end{center}
%
The \textit{empty code} is executed if no value
or an empty value has been specified.
Otherwise the \textit{filled code} is executed.

The package defines numerous layout configuration options.
They are listed along with their original definition
and a brief description
in the configuration section of the source code documentation.
%in \secref{sec:imp-config}.
Some particular aspects are described in more detail
in \secref{sec:guides}.
The configuration includes options to:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item
adjust the language for the principal entities of this package
like ``sheet(s)'', ``problem(s)'', ``solution(s)'', ``points(s)'';
\item
adjust the fonts styles of various parts of the text;
\item
adjust the spacing above, below, between various elements;
\item
define code to process data and insert text at various locations;
\item
compose text to be used in various situations;
\item
adjust the appearance of counters;
\item
adjust some other behaviour of the package.
\end{itemize}
%
We will highlight a few examples in \secref{sec:examples}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Exercise Styles}
\label{sec:styles}

The package provides a mechanism to define exercise styles
which customise the display of exercises in some coordinated fashion.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\exercisestyle}
Style(s) are activated by the command:
%
\begin{center}
|\exercisestyle{|\textit{styles}|}|
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{styles} is a comma-separated list of styles,
where each style is given by a pair \textit{style}[|={|\textit{argument}|}|].
The package defines a couple of standard styles:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |solutionbelow=|\textit{pos}
(can take values |here|, |subproblem|, |subproblem*|,
|problem|, |problem*|, |sheet| and |manual|;
initially set to |subproblem|) --
positions the solutions below the indicated environments;
see \secref{sec:solutions} for details.

\item |problempointsat=|\textit{pos}
(can take values |start|, |start*|, |margin|, |end| and |manual|;
initially set to |start|) --
displays points in problems at the indicated location;
see \secref{sec:points} for details.

\item |subproblempointsat=|\textit{pos}
(can take values |start|, |start*|, |margin|, |end| and |manual|;
initially set to |end|) --
displays points in subproblems at the indicated location;
see \secref{sec:points} for details.

\item |solutionpointsat=|\textit{pos}
(can take values |start|, |start*|, |margin|, |end| and |manual|;
initially set to |end|) --
displays points in solutions at the indicated location;
see \secref{sec:points} for details.

\item |problemby={|\textit{counter}|}| --
number problems with the prefix \textit{counter},
i.e.\ reset the problem counter whenever \textit{counter} increases
and use a composite label \textit{counter}|.|\textit{problem}
to identify problems.

\item |equationby={|\textit{counter}|}| --
number the dedicated equation counters for sheets, problems and solutions
with the prefix \textit{counter}.

\item |problembysheet| --
number problems by sheet.

\item |equationbysheet| --
number dedicated equations for sheets, problems and solutions by sheet;
note that the main equation counter is unaffected by this setting,
it therefore makes sense to also activate the style |sheetequation|
or use |\counterwithin{equation}{sheet}|.

\item |pagebysheet| --
number pages by sheet and denote pages by \textit{sheet}|.|\textit{page};
this style is useful to generate stable page numbers for
a collection of sheets.

\item |sheetequation|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
use a dedicated equation counter within sheets.

\item |problemequation|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
use a dedicated equation counter within problems.

\item |solutionequation|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
use a dedicated equation counter within solutions.

\item |fracpoints|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
display fractional points for denominators 2, 4, 8;
see \secref{sec:points} for details.

\item |twoside|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable two-sided layout;
in two-sided layout, sheets will start on odd pages
and empty pages are added at the end of sheets
to produce an even number of pages.

\item |subproblemdelimitem| --
shift subproblem number delimiter `)' from subproblem label
to subproblem item composition;
needed if |\ref| to a subproblem |\label| should produce a bare identifier
without a trailing `)';
assumes (and restores) numbering |\alph| and delimiter `)'.

\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{extstyle}
Further exercise styles
are defined by the package option |extstyle|, see \secref{sec:options}:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |plainheader| --
define a plain sheet header to display
some essential exercise and sheet data:
|course|, |institution|, |instructor|, |period| (optional), sheet |title|,
see \secref{sec:metadata};
the line below the header, font styles and spaces can be adjusted,
see the definition
in the styles section of the source code documentation.
%in \secref{sec:imp-styles}.

\item |contents| --
display sheets and problems in the table of contents
(as sections and subsections).

\item |solutionsf| --
display solutions in sans serif font family.

\item |solutiondimproblem| --
dim the problem text whenever solutions are displayed.

\item |solutionsep| --
separate the solutions from the remaining text by horizontal lines.

\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\defexercisestyle}
Custom styles can be defined by:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\defexercisestyle{|\textit{style}|}{|\textit{init}|}|\\
|\defexercisestylearg[|\textit{default}|]{|\textit{style}|}{|\textit{init}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
This feature can be used to predefine certain aspects of
the exercises layout.
For example, different default page layouts could be declared in this way.
The first version declares a style which is
initialised by the code \textit{item} upon activation by
|\exercisestyle{|\textit{style}[|=true|]|}|.
Note that |\exercisestyle{|\textit{style}|=false}| does nothing.
The second version declares a style which is activated by
|\exercisestyle{|\textit{style}[|={|\textit{arg}|}|]|}|
and which calls \textit{item} with the argument |#1| referring to \textit{arg}
(or \textit{default} if no argument is given).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Package Options}
\label{sec:options}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\DescribeMacro{\exercisesetup}
Features and options of general nature can be selected by the commands:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rl}
&|\usepackage[|\textit{opts}|]{exframe}|
\\
or&|\PassOptionsToPackage{|\textit{opts}|}{exframe}|
\\
or&|\exercisesetup{|\textit{opts}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
|\PassOptionsToPackage| must be used before |\usepackage|;
|\exercisesetup| must be used afterwards.
\textit{opts} is a comma-separated list of options.

The following options are available only when
loading the package, i.e.\ they will not work
within |\exercisesetup|:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |extdata|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
define some more advanced metadata entries.

\item |extstyle|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
define some more advanced styles.

\item |metastr|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
load \ctanpkg{metastr} package and use to handle pdf metadata
and basic internationalisation,
see the metastr interaction section of the source code documentation
%see \secref{sec:imp-metastr}
for details.

\item |problemenv=|\textit{name} --
redefine environment name |problem|.
This and the following alike options may be useful in
quickly adjusting existing sources to
the \ctanpkg{exframe} framework
if the original framework works similarly
and no special features are used.
Otherwise, it is highly advisable to leave the
names of environments and counters
defined by the package untouched.

\item |subproblemenv=|\textit{name} --
redefine environment name |subproblem|.

\item |solutionenv=|\textit{name} --
redefine environment name |solution|.

\item |sheetenv=|\textit{name} --
redefine environment name |sheet|.

\item |problemcounter=|\textit{name} --
redefine counter name |problem|.

\item |subproblemcounter=|\textit{name} --
redefine counter name |subproblem|.

\item |solutioncounter=|\textit{name} --
redefine counter name |solution|.

\item |sheetcounter=|\textit{name} --
redefine counter name |sheet|.

\end{itemize}
%

The following options can be specified by all three methods described above:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |solutions|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
Enable/disable display of solutions.
Sets the conditional |\ifsolutions| accordingly.

\item |pdfdata|[|=auto|\textbar|manual|\textbar|sheet|\textbar|off|]
(no value implies |auto|, initially set to |auto|) --
control writing most relevant metadata to pdf files;
has no effect without package \ctanpkg{hyperref}.

\item |lineno|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable writing of line numbers as comments
into solution files.

\item |twoside|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable two-sided layout;
see \secref{sec:styles} for details.

\item |solutionhref|[|=true|\textbar|true|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable use of hyper-references from solutions
to the corresponding problems;
has no effect without package \ctanpkg{hyperref}.

\item |warntext|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable writing of relevant warning messages
(points mismatch, point sums require update)
into the document output for easier detection.

\item |autolabelsheet|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable automatically assigning labels
(|sheet:\sheettag|; can be adjusted)
to sheets according to their tag |\sheettag|.

\item |autolabelproblem|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable automatically assigning labels
(|prob:\problemtag|; can be adjusted)
to problems according to their tag |\problemtag|.

\item |solutionbuf|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
enable/disable buffering for |solution| environments
in order to control their display;
disabling buffering can be helpful
in debugging faulty |solution| environments;
it might also resolve some tokenisation issues in special circumstances;
note that the display of solutions cannot be suppressed
with |\exercisesetup{solutions=false}| when buffering if disabled.

\item |problembuf|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable buffering for |problem| environments
in order to control their display.

\item |subproblembuf|[|=true|\textbar|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |false|) --
enable/disable buffering for |subproblem| environments
in order to control their display.

\item |emptytestchar=|\textit{char}
(initially set to `|&|') --
character to use for testing whether an argument |#1|
is empty via |\if&#1&...\fi|;
if `|&|' causes trouble within tables, could try `|@|' instead.

\end{itemize}

\section{Customisations}
\label{sec:customisation}

This section attempts to shed some light on the rich array of options
for layout customisations.
It is not at all complete, but it provides an overview and
illustrates selected aspects by means of guidance and examples.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Guidance}
\label{sec:guides}

The following provides some guidance on customisation options
which might otherwise be hard to follow.
Suggestions for topics to be expanded are welcome.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Package Philosophy.}

The philosophy of the present package is to
define a low-level framework to describe exercises with solutions
to be used in various situations.
The aim is to provide the means to describe the content
(problems, solutions, sheets) in a simple fashion
and separate it from the various layout definitions and choices
which will define the appearance of the content.
The package itself provides a functional basic layout
rather than an elaborate or particularly appealing one.
However, it provides means to adjust the basic layout in many ways and
to predefine custom layout schemes.
The package is meant to collaborate with other packages
which provide solutions for particular applications
in order to produce an appealing layout for the given content.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Framework for Layout Customisation.}

The framework for defining the layout
consists of an internal and a public component
which allow for minor adjustments and major changes
both with reasonable efforts.

The internal component implements some very coarse
choices for the presentation of the content.
It is hard-coded in the package
(using internal macros starting with |exf@|)
and its operation can be adjusted mainly through the available package options,
see \secref{sec:options}, and through configuration switches
for individual blocks.

The public framework uses a hierarchy of configuration macros
defined by |\exerciseconfig|, see \secref{sec:layout}.
The internal component interfaces with the public framework
through a set of higher-level interface macros.
These include macros which produce the desired text in a
well-prescribed situation
as well as macros which perform some \LaTeX\ operations
such as adjusting presentation styles or modifying some variables.
In many cases the structural higher-level macros have been set up to
branch out to further lower-level macros prescribing presentation details.

The hierarchy has the following structure:
High-level macros compose certain abstract elements
into readable text, e.g.\ an intro/outro for some block of text
made from space, decorations and abstract text elements.
Medium-level macros compose elementary objects into abstract text elements,
e.g.\ a header for some block of text
composed from a label and a title with some space and delimiters in between.
Low-level macros define elementary objects,
such as delimiter characters, spaces, widths and words (translations).

The public framework has been set up such that
elements at high, medium and low levels can be adjusted independently
to arrive at a specific effect.
For example, the composition of problem titles can be adjusted abstractly,
but also the representation of a specific delimiter
can be tweaked from `.' to `:';
either change can be obtained by adjusting a single definition.
This flexibility comes along with an unfortunate complexity
to allow for adjustments to be implemented individually but also universally.
Nevertheless, the implementation of the public configuration macros
for a particular setup can be rather simple because the particular setup
will neither use all of the available coarse layout choices
nor all of the customisation options.
For example, a higher-level macro for a problem title
may directly produce the desired text without branching into
further lower-level definitions.
Also, only those higher-level macros which actually come to use
in a particular setup will need to be implemented.

The following paragraphs provide guidance on aspects of the
public framework. There is no complete manual for the framework,
but a skilled \LaTeX\ tinkerer can find further information
and pieces of code ready for tweaking in the implementation notes
the configuration and styles sections of the source code documentation.
%in \secref{sec:imp-config} and \secref{sec:imp-styles}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Labels for Problems and Sheets.}

The package provides many methods with various names
to customise labels for problem and solution blocks.
These names follow certain patterns
(but are sometimes stuck with odd assignments due to backward compatibility).
The following guide describes which methods come to use
in which situations.

The labels can be grouped into two categories,
items and titles, and the corresponding methods are
typically called |...item...| and |...title...|.
Items are enumerative identifiers for the [sub]problems
such as `1.', `b)' or `3iv)'.
Titles serve as headers for [sub]problem or solution blocks
which usually take the form ``Problem 1'', ``2.\ Fermat's Last''
or simply ``c)'' for a subproblem.
Titles may use the corresponding item, and display it together with
the type, name or using a different punctuation
depending on the situation.

\DescribeMacro{composetitleproblem}
\DescribeMacro{composenamedproblem}
\DescribeMacro{composebareproblem}
The composition of problem titles through |composetitleproblem|
depends mainly on whether an individual name is provided
(|title| option to |problem| environment).
The method passes on to |composenamedproblem| if a name is provided
(second argument non-empty), otherwise to |composebareproblem|.
It might also produce a plain name if no item is provided
(first argument empty).

\DescribeMacro{composenamedproblemdelim}
\DescribeMacro{composenamedproblemsep}
\DescribeMacro{composebareproblemdelim}
\DescribeMacro{composebareproblemsep}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemproblemdelim}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemproblemsep}
Titles and items are separated by some space (|...sep|)
and/or delimiting characters (|...delim|).
The item within a named title is separated from the following name by
|composenamedproblemdelim| and |composenamedproblemsep|.
In an unnamed title, the type is separated from the following item by
|composebareproblemsep|, and the item is followed by |composebareproblemdelim|.
A plain item not used within a title is delimited by |composeitemproblemdelim|.
The presentation of all titles and items
is followed by |composeitemproblemsep|.

\DescribeMacro{composetocproblem}
Problem titles can also be made to appear in the table of contents,
their display is governed by |composetocproblem|
which distinguishes between named and unnamed problems.
The method uses the above delimiter |composenamedproblemdelim|
but no other customisations because detailed layout
will be less welcome in the table of contents.

\DescribeMacro{composetitlesheet}
\DescribeMacro{composetocsheet}
\DescribeMacro{composemetasheet}
Sheet titles generated by |composetitlesheet| are similar
to problem titles but simpler.
They may or may not have a name, but there are no pre-defined delimiters.
The two similar methods |composetocsheet| and |composemetasheet|
govern the display of sheet titles in the table of contents
and in pdf metadata, respectively.

\DescribeMacro{composeitemsubproblem}
\DescribeMacro{composetitlesubproblem}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemsubproblemdelim}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemsubproblemsep}
\DescribeMacro{countersubproblem}
\DescribeMacro{subproblemdelimitem}
Subproblem items and titles are simple as well because
subproblems have no names.
They are generated by |composeitemsubproblem| and |composetitlesubproblem|,
respectively. The subproblem delimiter and separator
are determined by |composeitemsubproblemdelim|
and |composeitemsubproblemsep|, respectively.
Note that the delimiter `)' within `b)' may be declared as either
|composeitemsubproblemdelim| or as part of the subproblem counter
defined in |countersubproblem|.
This behaviour is governed by the style |subproblemdelimitem|.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Labels for Solutions.}

The display of appropriate solution items and titles is very complex
as it depends on four factors:
(i) The first factor is whether solutions are displayed as an itemised list
or as a plain list.
(ii) The second factor is whether solutions are
displayed individually, grouped by problem
or assembled as a list for multiple problems.
(iii) The third factor is whether the solution corresponds
to a problem or subproblem.
(iv) A fourth factor is whether a solution is the first one within a problem.
In addition, the list of solutions may have a title (v) and sections (vi).
Let us discuss the relevant combinations.

\DescribeMacro{composetitlesolutions}
\DescribeMacro{...solutionsproblemsingle}
\DescribeMacro{...solutionsproblemmulti}
The solution list title (``Solutions'') (v)
generated by |composetitlesolutions| only applies to
lists of (potentially) multiple problems (ii).
The solution section title (vi) generated by |composetitlesolutionsproblem...|
indicates the corresponding problem.
It comes in two variants |...single| and |...multi|
which distinguish a single problem (``Solution'')
from a list of (potentially) multiple problems (``Problem 2'') (ii).

\DescribeMacro{skipsolutionitem}
\DescribeMacro{skipsolutionitemsub}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemsolution}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemsolutionsub}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemsolutionfirst}
\DescribeMacro{...itemsolutionfirstsub}
An itemised list of solutions (i) is invoked by a non-zero
width |skipsolutionitem|[|sub|] (iii) for horizontal alignment
of the solution text. In this case, solution items are displayed
to the left of the line of horizontal alignment.
These are generated by the configuration |composeitemsolution|[|sub|] (iii)
irrespectively of the display mode (ii).
By default, the current problem item is displayed as a section title (vi),
therefore the solution items will only display
the corresponding subproblem item
leaving blank the solution items for problems.
However, in an adjusted scheme without section titles (vi),
the very first solution within a problem (iv)
might additionally indicate the corresponding problem item
|composeitemsolutionfirst|[|sub|] (iii).

\DescribeMacro{composetitlesolutionsingle}
\DescribeMacro{composeitemsolutiondelim}
An individual solution (ii) formally part of a plain list (i)
starts with the title ``Solution:''
which is generated by the method |composetitlesolutionsingle|.
The delimiter `:' is defined by |composeitemsolutiondelim|.

\DescribeMacro{composetitlesolutionmulti}
\DescribeMacro{...titlesolutionproblem}
\DescribeMacro{...titlesolutionsubproblem}
The title for a grouped solution (ii) within a plain list (i)
is generated by the method |composetitlesolutionmulti|
which forwards to |composetitlesolution|[|sub|]|problem| (iii).
Again, by default, these methods only display the subproblem item
because the problem item is provided as a section title (vi) instead.

\DescribeMacro{composetocsolution}
\DescribeMacro{composetocsolutions}
Items for the table of contents corresponding to
solution lists and problem solutions
are generated by |composetocsolution|[|s|].

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Examples}
\label{sec:examples}

This section contains some sample customisations of the default (plain) layout
which can be realised with moderate effort
using the various tools provided by the package.
Additional applications are shown in the sample files
\verbpkg|-samp.tex| and \verbpkg|-ser.tex|.
Suggestions for further applications are welcome.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Sheet Title.}

\DescribeMacro{insertsheettitle}
An important setting is:
%
\begin{center}
|\exerciseconfig{insertsheettitle}{|\textit{code}|}|
\end{center}
%
The code \textit{code} is meant to print the title
or header of an exercise sheet.
The minimalistic default code |\centerline{\getsheetdata{title}}|
merely prints the sheet title ``Sheet \#'' at the centre of a line.
Commonly, one would replace this by a more elaborate header
(potentially with some more information,
appealing layout, logos, \ldots).
In order to design a header template,
it makes sense to retrieve data
via |\getexercisedata| and |\getsheetdata|
described in \secref{sec:metadata}.
Likewise |\exercisedataempty| and |\sheetdataempty|
can be used to display default values or alternative data
if some particular data is not provided.
An example is given by the |plainheader| extended style option defined
in the styles section of the source code documentation.
%in \secref{sec:imp-styles}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Problem Title.}

\DescribeMacro{composetitleproblem}
\DescribeMacro{composenamedproblem}
\DescribeMacro{composebareproblem}
Another noteworthy example is |composetitleproblem|
to compose the title for a problem. It takes two parameters,
the number and the title.
The (somewhat simplified) default declarations are:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exerciseconfig{composetitleproblem}[2]{\exerciseifempty{#2}|\\
|  {\getexerciseconfig{composebareproblem}{#1}}|\\
|  {\getexerciseconfig{composenamedproblem}{#1}{#2}}}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{composebareproblem}[1]{\getexerciseconfig{termproblem}|\\
|  #1\getexerciseconfig{composebareproblemdelim}}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{composenamedproblem}[2]|\\
|  {#1\getexerciseconfig{composenamedproblemdelim} #2}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
This checks whether the title is empty.
If no title is given use the configuration |composebareproblem|
to compose ``Problem \#'',
where the term ``Problem'' is made abstract
by the configuration |termproblem|
(e.g.\ to support internationalisation).
If a title is given use the configuration |composenamedproblem|
to compose ``\#. \textit{title}''.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Conditionals.}

\DescribeMacro{\exerciseifempty}
\DescribeMacro{\exerciseifnotempty}
Handy conditional commands to check
whether an expression \textit{expr} is empty are:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exerciseifempty{|\textit{expr}|}|%
  |{|\textit{empty code}|}{|\textit{filled code}|}|\\
|\exerciseifnotempty{|\textit{expr}|}|%
  |{|\textit{filled code}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
Their main purpose is to test
whether some provided expression \textit{expt} is empty.
They expand to the common \TeX{} constructs
|\if&#1&#2\else#3\fi| and |\if&#1&\else#2\fi|
which work assuming that \textit{expr} is not too exotic
(e.g.\ it should not start with the character `|&|'
and other special \TeX{} characters or macros are potentially dangerous;
also using this within tables can be troublesome;
the character `|&|' can be reconfigured by the package option |emptytestchar|).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paragraph{Decorate Solutions with Boxes.}

\DescribeMacro{insertsolutionsbefore}
\DescribeMacro{insertsolutionsafter}
\DescribeMacro{composetitlesolution...}
The following adjustment changes the
presentation of solutions to be surrounded by boxes with background colour
(thanks to Till Bargheer for the example).
This yields an alternative presentation
that visually distinguishes problem from solution content.

The adjustment uses the package \ctanpkg{tcolorbox}
to supply such boxes. The coloured box environment |tcolorbox| is invoked
by the customisations |insertsolutionsbefore| and |...after|
which are called just before and after a block of solutions is:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\RequirePackage{tcolorbox}|\\
|\tcbuselibrary{breakable}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{insertsolutionsbefore}{%|\\
|  \begin{tcolorbox}[breakable,boxrule=0.25pt]}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{insertsolutionsafter}{\end{tcolorbox}}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{composetitlesolutionsingle}[2]{}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
With the highlighting of solutions by boxes,
the default introductory statement ``Solution:''
(when |solutionbelow| is |here| or |subproblem|)
of a solution block becomes obsolete.
This is achieved by removing the content of |composetitlesolutionsingle|
(or similar composition definitions if |solutionbelow| is set otherwise).

\DescribeMacro{solutionpointsat}
\DescribeMacro{insertpointsmargin}
Note that displaying points in the margin would have to be adjusted
because the plain \LaTeX\ command |\marginpar| does not work
inside a |tcolorbox| (due to nested floats).
If this combination is desired,
one should adjust the placement of margin paragraphs
to the package \ctanpkg{marginnote}:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\exercisestyle{solutionpointsat=margin}|\\
|\RequirePackage{marginnote}|\\
|\exerciseconfig{insertpointsmargin}[1]{\marginnote{\footnotesize#1}}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

has been tested with v1.0 (\markdate{2020-02-06}).
\end{itemize}

There are several other \LaTeX{} packages
which offer a similar functionality
varying largely in scope and sophistication:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item
The package \ctanpkg{exsheets}
and its successor \ctanpkg{xsim}
provide a \LaTeX{} 3 style for typesetting exercises with solutions.
They offer options to
hide or delay solutions,
print only specific problems,
deal with points,
specify metadata,
handle exercise collections,
as well as some more specific options.
They allow to adjust the layout and choose among predefined ones.
\item
The package \ctanpkg{exercise}
provides a style for typesetting exercises with solutions.
It offers many options to
hide or delay solutions,
print only specific problems,
specify some metadata
as well as some more specific options.
It allows to customise the layout.
\item
The package \ctanpkg{exercises}
provides a style for typesetting exercises with solutions.
It offers options to hide solutions and deal with points.
It allows basic customisation of the layout.
\item
The package \ctanpkg{exam}
provides a document class for typesetting exams conveniently.

and deal with other exam-specific tasks.
It allows to adjust the layout and choose among predefined ones.
\item
The package \ctanpkg{probsoln}
provides a style for typesetting exercises with solutions
which are stored in a collection.
It offers options to
hide solutions
and to assemble problems from an external collection.
\item
The packages
\ctanpkg{uebungsblatt},
\ctanpkg{uassign},
\ctanpkg{mathexam},
\ctanpkg{exsol},
\href{https://github.com/mbauman/homework}{\markpkg{homework}},
\href{https://gist.github.com/jhwilson/1278588}{\markpkg{jhwhw}}
provide basic functionality for somewhat more particular situations.
\end{itemize}
%
See CTAN categories \ctanref{topic/exercise}{exercise}
and \ctanref{topic/exam}{exam}
for further up-to-date packages.

The philosophy of the present package is to
define a low-level framework to describe exercises with solutions
to be used in various situations.
The aim is to provide the means to describe the content
(problems, solutions, sheets) in a simple fashion
and separate it from the various layout definitions and choices
which will define the appearance of the content.
The interface was designed to reduce potential conflict
with other packages and definitions.
The package itself provides a functional basic layout
rather than an elaborate or particularly appealing one.
However, it provides means to adjust the basic layout in many ways and
to predefine custom layout schemes.
The package offers most of the functionality of the above packages,
but (presently) misses out on some more advanced features.
See \secref{sec:customisation} on customisation assistance and examples
and \secref{sec:suggestions} for feature suggestions.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Feature Suggestions}
\label{sec:suggestions}

The following is a list of features which may be useful for future
versions of this package:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item
Define structures for multiple-choice questions.
\item
Add more guidance to \secref{sec:guides} on customisation settings.
\item
Add more examples of customisation settings to achieve specific goals
to \secref{sec:examples}.
Please send suggestions.
\item
Option to hide problem text while maintaining access to embedded solutions
(for a version containing only solutions):
this is difficult to implement because the problem environment
cannot simply be discarded, but would have to be scanned very carefully
for the embedded solution;
instead process problems to some document and save solutions to file,
then read solutions from different document.

%
% This section provides an example of how to use
% some of the \ctanpkg{exframe} features.
% The resulting layout will be somewhat messy
% due to a random selection of features.
%
% This example file describes a single exercise sheet.
% The other sheet of the series would be declared
% analogously in independent documents.
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Preamble.}
%
% Standard document class:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Use package \ctanpkg{geometry} to set the page layout;
% adjust the paragraph shape:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{layout=a4paper}
\geometry{paper=a4paper}
\geometry{margin=2.5cm}
\parindent0pt
\parskip0.5ex
%    \end{macrocode}

% Include \ctanpkg{amstext}, \ctanpkg{hyperref} packages:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\usepackage{amstext}
\usepackage{hyperref}
%    \end{macrocode}

% May include \ctanpkg{metastr} package;
% below code adjusts to whether or not present:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\PassOptionsToPackage{loadlang=en|de}{metastr}
\PassOptionsToPackage{course=true}{metastr}
%%\usepackage{metastr}
%%\metasetlang{de}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Include \ctanpkg{exframe} package:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\usepackage[extstyle]{exframe}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Solutions Switch.}
%
% It will be useful to have the switch to turn on/off
% the display of solutions near the top
% of the source file, potentially with the opposite setting commented out:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisesetup{solutions=false}
%%\exercisesetup{solutions=true}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Automatically put labels for (sub)problems:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisesetup{autolabelproblem=true}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Layout Declarations.}
%
% The following layout declarations adjust the general layout
% of exercise sheets. They may as well be moved into an include file.
%
% Declare a header for exercise sheets
% to display several relevant pieces of data;
% display points total:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{plainheader}
\exerciseconfig{composeheaderbelowright}{\getsheetdata{points}}%
%    \end{macrocode}

% Make the delimiter `)' part of the subproblem item
% rather than the subproblem label:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{subproblemdelimitem}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Redefine the appearance of some counters;
% sheets should be labelled by capital roman numerals,
% subproblems by lowercase roman numerals;
% declare the widest subproblem item to be expected:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exerciseconfig{countersheet}{\Roman{sheet}}
\exerciseconfig{countersubproblem}{\roman{subproblem}}
\exerciseconfig{countersubproblemmax}{vii}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Automatically display an asterisk for all
% subproblems with bonus points only;
% remove space to separate items:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exerciseconfig{insertsubprobleminfo}{%
 \switchpoints{}{\addprobleminfo*{%
   \hspace{-\getexerciseconfig{skipsubprobleminfo}}*}}%
  {}{}{\getsubproblempoints{}}}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Redefine the terms to be used for sheet(s);
% here, a German version:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifdefined\metaset
\metasetterm[en]{sheet}{Exercise Sheet}
\metasetterm[en]{sheets}{Exercise Sheets}
\metasetterm[de]{sheet}{\"Ubungsblatt}
\metasetterm[de]{sheets}{\"Ubungsbl\"atter}
\else
\exerciseconfig{termsheet}{\"Ubungsblatt}
\exerciseconfig{termsheets}{\"Ubungsbl\"atter}
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% Display points for problems in the margin;
% change margin display to use the left margin;
% use the abbreviated form `$n$p.':
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{problempointsat=margin}
\reversemarginpar
\exerciseconfig{composepointsmargin}[1]{#1p.}
\exerciseconfig{composepointspairmargin}[2]{%
  \ifdim#2pt=0pt#1p.%
  \else\ifdim#1pt=0pt+#2p.%
  \else#1+#2p.%
  \fi\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Change the basic font style for all titles to be bold sans-serif:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exerciseconfig{styletitle}{\sffamily\bfseries}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Add a significant amount of space below problems:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exerciseconfig{skipproblembelow}{1.5cm}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Display half points as fractions:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{fracpoints}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Show solutions below each problem
% (may try alternatives |subproblem| or |sheet|):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{solutionbelow=problem}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Indent solutions for subproblems:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exerciseconfig{skipsolutionitemsub}{-1pt}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Separate solutions by horizontal lines (extended style):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{solutionsep}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Write metadata for sheet:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisesetup{pdfdata=sheet}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Set title and author for pdf metadata;
% |title| is |course| plus |material| or sheet title;

\end{tabular}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Some introduction to the problem:
%    \begin{macrocode}
This problem deals with sums and series.
%    \end{macrocode}

% A subproblem with a local label:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{subproblem}[points=2,difficulty=simple,label={\problemtag-simplesum}]
Compute the sum
\showpoints
\begin{equation}
1+2+3.
\end{equation}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Provide a solution for the subproblem (within the subproblem environment):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{solution}
The result is
\begin{equation}
1+2+3=6.
\end{equation}
\end{solution}
%    \end{macrocode}

% End subproblem:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\end{subproblem}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Another subproblem:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{subproblem}[points=97+0.5,difficulty=lengthy]
Compute the sum
\begin{equation}
1+2+3+\ldots+98+99+100.
\end{equation}
Keep calm and calculate!
%%That ought to keep him occupied for a while
\end{subproblem}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Provide a solution for the previous subproblem
% (layout may differ slightly from declaration within);
% declare author:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{solution}[author={C.\ F.\ Gau\ss}]
We use the result $1+2+3=6$ from part \ref{\problemtag-simplesum})
to jumpstart the calculation. The remaining sums yield
\awardpoints*[1 for each remaining sum]{97}
\begin{equation}
6+4+5+\ldots+99+100=5050.
\end{equation}
Alternatively the summands can be grouped into pairs as follows:
\begin{align}
1+100&=101,\\
2+99&=101,\\
3+98&=101,\\
\ldots &\nonumber\\
50+51&=101.
\end{align}
These amount to 50 times the same number 101.
Therefore the sum equals
\begin{equation}
1+2+\ldots+99+100=50\cdot 101=5050.
\end{equation}
\textit{Ligget se!} \awardpoints{97+0.5}
\end{solution}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Some text between subproblems:
%    \begin{macrocode}
You may give the final part a try:
%    \end{macrocode}

% Final subproblem; this one is optional:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{subproblem}[optional={optional},
  difficulty={requires inspiration},points={+3.5}]
Compute the series
\showpoints
\begin{equation}
1+2+3+\ldots
\end{equation}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Provide a solution:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{solution}
The series is divergent, so the result is $\infty$ \awardpoints{+1}.
\par
However, after subtracting the divergent part,
the result clearly is
\begin{equation}
\zeta(-1)=-\frac{1}{12}\,,
\end{equation}
where the zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ is defined by
\begin{equation}
\zeta(s):=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^s}\,.
\end{equation}
This definition holds only for $s>1$ where the sum is convergent,
but one can continue the complex analytic function to $s<0$
\awardpoints{+1.5}.
\par
Another way of understanding the result
is to use the indefinite summation formula
for arbitrary exponent $s$ in the summand
(which also follows from the Euler--MacLaurin formula)
\begin{equation}
\sum_n n^s
= \frac{n^{s+1}}{s+1}
 -\sum_{j=0}^s  \frac{\zeta(j-s)\,s!}{(s-j)!\,j!}\,n^j
= \ldots - \zeta(-s)\,n^0.
\end{equation}
Curiously, the constant term with $j=0$ is just the desired result
but with the wrong sign
(in fact, the constant term of an indefinite sum is ambiguous;
for the claim we merely set $j=0$
in the expression which holds for others values of $j$)
\awardpoints{+0.5}.
In order to understand the sign,
we propose that the above formula describes the regularised result
for the sum with limits $+\infty$ and $n$
\begin{equation}
\sum_{k=+\infty}^n k^s
\simeq \frac{n^{s+1}}{s+1}
 -\sum_{j=0}^s  \frac{\zeta(j-s)\,s!}{(s-j)!\,j!}\,n^j.
\end{equation}
Then we flip the summation limits of the desired sum
to bring it into the above form
\awardpoints{+0.5}
\begin{equation}
\sum_{k=1}^\infty k^s
= -\sum_{k=\infty}^0 k^s
\simeq \zeta(-s).
\end{equation}
\end{solution}
%    \end{macrocode}

% End subproblem:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\end{subproblem}
%    \end{macrocode}

% End problem:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\end{problem}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Another problem; this one is untitled:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{problem}[points=1, difficulty=insane]
Show that the equation
\begin{equation}
a^3+b^3=c^3
\end{equation}
has no positive integer solutions.
\end{problem}
%    \end{macrocode}

% A solution can also follow a problem
% (but the layout may be slightly different,
% e.g.\ here the space below the problem will
% appear before the solution):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begin{solution}
\normalmarginpar
This is beyond the scope of this example.

% \section{Multipart Sample}
% \label{sec:samplemulti}
%
% The second example describes a series of exercise sheets
% which can be compiled as a collection or as individual sheets.
% This example describes a versatile setup
% with several convenient features;
% most of these features can be adjusted or removed easily as they
% mostly enhance the setup and do not interact with each other strongly.
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \subsection{Main File}
% \label{sec:samplemultimain}
% \iffalse
%<*samplemultimain>
% \fi
%
% The main source file is called \verbpkg|-ser.tex|.
% It is referenced at several places within the setup,
% and when changing the name they need to be adjusted accordingly.
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{childdoc Mechanism.}
%
% The setup uses the package \ctanpkg{childdoc} to allow compilation
% of the series as a whole or in parts and with various sets of options:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\input{childdoc.def}
\childdocmain{}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Compilation Switches.}
%
% Define compilation switches and declare their default settings.
% |\printsol| controls whether solutions should be printed or not;
% by default solutions are activated for compilation of a part,
% but not for the complete document.
% |\draftver| controls whether the final version of
% the document is to be compiled;
% concretely this affects the compilations of metapost figures, see below:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifchilddoc
\providecommand{\printsol}{y}
\else
\providecommand{\printsol}{n}
\fi
\providecommand{\draftver}{y}
\newif\ifdraft\if\draftver y\drafttrue\else\draftfalse\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Preamble.}
%
% Standard document class:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
%    \end{macrocode}

%    \begin{macrocode}
% \ctanpkg{graphicx} package to display license logo:
\RequirePackage{graphicx}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{hyperref Package.}
%
% Use the \ctanpkg{hyperref} package.
% Declare some options, e.g.\ use bookmarks only for complete document:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\PassOptionsToPackage{bookmarks=\ifchilddoc false\else true\fi}{hyperref}
\PassOptionsToPackage{bookmarksopen=true}{hyperref}
\RequirePackage{hyperref}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{metastr Package.}
%
% Use the \ctanpkg{metastr} package to handle
% metadata and copyright information;
% disable usage of \ctanpkg{hyperxmp} package if not installed;
% write auxiliary pdf metadata and rights information:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifdraft
\PassOptionsToPackage{draft}{metastr}
\fi
\IfFileExists{hyperxmp.sty}{}{\PassOptionsToPackage{hyperxmp=false}{metastr}}
\RequirePackage[course]{metastr}
\metaset[aux]{writepdf}{}
\metaset[rights]{writepdf}{}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{exframe Package.}
%
% Invoke \ctanpkg{exframe} with extended data and styles:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage[extdata,extstyle]{exframe}
%    \end{macrocode}

% Set solutions switch and declare two-sided layout only
% if no solutions are printed;
% do not use solution buffer in draft mode
% for easier identification of potential compile errors:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\if\printsol n
\exercisesetup{solutions=false}
\exercisesetup{twoside=true}
\else
\exercisesetup{solutions=true}
\exercisesetup{twoside=false}
\ifdraft
\exercisesetup{solutionbuf=false}
\fi
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% Might want to display some metadata (only for partial compile):
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%\if\printsol n\else\showprobleminfo{author,source,recycle}\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% Set some options. Automatically assign labels to problems.
% Include sheets and problems in table of contents.
% Separate solutions by horizontal rules.
% Count problems, equations and pages by sheet
% (unless compiling single problem).
% Collect solutions below each problem.
% Write pdf metadata for sheet when compiling single sheet:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisesetup{autolabelproblem}
\exercisestyle{contents,solutionsep}
\ifchilddocmanual\else
\exercisestyle{pagebysheet,problembysheet,equationbysheet,sheetequation}
\fi
\exercisestyle{solutionbelow={problem}}
\ifchilddoc\ifchilddocmanual\else\exercisesetup{pdfdata=sheet}\fi\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Language.}
%
% Redefine some terms:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\metasetlang{en-GB}

\metasetterm[en]{sheet}{sheet}
\metasetterm[en]{sheets}{sample sheets}
\metasetterm[en]{solution}{Solution}
\metasetterm[en]{solutions}{solutions}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Layout Definitions.}
%
% Set page dimensions and layout:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage[a4paper,margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
\pagestyle{plain}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Remove paragraph indentation:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength\parskip{\smallskipamount}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Show overfull lines:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setlength\overfullrule{5pt}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Define turn page over mark; hide when printing solutions:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\turnover}{\ifsolutions\else\vfill%
  \hfill{\mathversion{bold}$\longrightarrow$}\newpage\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Sheet Banner.}
%
% Use standard sheet banner;
% show sheet |editdate| below banner (if declared);
% when compiling single sheet, display sheet due date instead:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\exercisestyle{plainheader}
\exerciseconfig{composeheaderbelowright}

\ifchilddoc\ifsolutions\else
 \exerciseconfig{composeheaderbelowright}
  {\sheetdataempty{due}{}{due: \getsheetdata{due}}}
\fi\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Lorem.}
%
% Define a macro |\lorem| to write out some paragraph of text
% for the example:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\lorem{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit,

%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{metapost Setup.}
%
% Use package \ctanpkg{mpostinl} (if available)
% to include some metapost figures within the source of the problems:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\IfFileExists{mpostinl.sty}{\RequirePackage{mpostinl}}{}
\ifdefined\mpostsetup
%    \end{macrocode}

% Setup \ctanpkg{mpostinl}.
% Use checksums to invoke metapost only when figures change.
% Process all figures individually and immediately when in
% draft mode for child documents (avoids a second compilation pass).
% Number figures within sheet to provide a stable numbering
% upon insertion/deletion of new figures or partial compilation:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\mpostsetup{checksum}
\ifchilddoc\ifdraft\mpostsetup{now,nowall}\fi\fi
\ifchilddocmanual\else\mpostsetup{numberwithin={sheet}}\fi
%    \end{macrocode}

% Global metapost definitions.
% Define some latex macro to demonstrate
% usage of latex for typesetting labels.
% Define some global metapost variables,
% |paths| is an array of path variables,
% |xu| serves as a length unit to
% scale individual figures
% (use |interim xu:=...;| to set scale for local figure only),
% |pensize| changes the size of the pen,
% |fillshape| fills and outlines a shape:
%    \begin{macrocode}

% It may be more convenient to define each problem in an individual file,

% problem files.
% In such a setup, the \ctanpkg{childdoc} mechanism
% allows to compile each problem individually.
%
% To that end, prepare a file \verbpkg|-ser-p|\textit{nn}|.tex|
% containing the |problem| environment.
% This file should start with:
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%\providecommand{\printsol}{n}
\input{childdoc.def}
\childdocby{exframe-ser}
%    \end{macrocode}
% and end with |\endinput|.
% Then compose the problem sheet
% by including the appropriate set of problem files
% via |\input{exframe-ser-p|\textit{nn}|}|.
%
% In the example, a sheet file \verbpkg|-ser-03.tex|
% includes two problem files \verbpkg|-ser-pe.tex| and \verbpkg|-ser-pf.tex|.

% \label{sec:imp-metastr}
%
% This package transfers some functionality
% to the package \ctanpkg{metastr} when loaded
% previously (preferably with package option |course|)
% by the package option |metastr|.
% The following changes apply:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% The terms specified by the configuration options |term...|,
% see \secref{sec:imp-config},
% are transferred to the corresponding term registers
% |\metaterm{...}| in \ctanpkg{metastr}.
% This can facilitate internationalisation,
% and suitable words for English, German, French and Spanish are provided.
% \item
% Metadata should be filled via |\metaset| rather than |\exercisedata|.
% The present package will read it from the \ctanpkg{metastr} registers.
% \item
% Basic pdf metadata is written automatically or manually.
% This is done via |\metawritepdfinfo|,
% consequently, automatic writing of these basic metadata
% is disabled in \ctanpkg{metastr}.
% \item
% Sheet-specific metadata (package option |pdfdata=sheet|)
% is handled via the \ctanpkg{metastr} registers |sheettitle| and |sheetdata|
% rather than |composemetasheet|.
