Generate AMC LaTeX question group ("element") codes

Description

Generate AMC LaTeX question group ("element") codes

Usage

AMCcreateelements(element = "general", shufflequestions = TRUE,
  sections = TRUE, output = "message", filepath = "elements.tex",
  append = FALSE, messages = TRUE)

Arguments

element

A character value or vector of question groups ("elements") to generate input code for. Default is "general".

shufflequestions

A logical value or vector to indicate whether to shuffle questions inside a question group. Defaults to TRUE.

sections

A character value or vector to indicate whether to create a new LaTeX section for each element (defaults to TRUE).

output

A character value to indicate how to output the LaTeX commands. Use "message" (default) to get a console message that can be directly copy-and-pasted to the LaTeX mais file. Use "list" to get a list object. Use "file" to output to a .tex file (the path can be changed with the "filepath" command). Defaults to "message

filepath

A character value with the file path for the .tex file to be created (defaults to "elements.tex").

append

A logical value indicating if the code should be appended (append=TRUE) to an existing .tex file. Defaults to FALSE, thus overwriting the file.

messages

A logical to indicate whether instructions should be output (defaults to TRUE).

Value

Commands to add the question groups in AMC-LaTeX code.

Examples

#To output a message (not visible in documentation)
AMCcreateelements(c(1:4))

#To output a list
AMCcreateelements(c(1:4), output = "list")

#Duplicates are automatically removed
AMCcreateelements(rep(1:3, 5), output = "list")

#To cancel shuffling
AMCcreateelements(c(1:4), output = "list", shufflequestions = FALSE)

#To remove sections at each element
AMCcreateelements(c(1:4), sections = FALSE, output = "list")

#To add sections for only last element
AMCcreateelements(c(1:4),
sections = c(FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE),
output = "list")
