CTAN Update: exsol

Date: May 13, 2013 9:29:31 PM CEST
Walter Daems submitted an update to the exsol package. Summary description: The package facilitates typesetting exercises and solutions from one LaTeX source to a separate solutions book. License type: lppl Announcement text:
The exsol package provides macros to allow for embedding exercises and solutions in the LaTeX source of an instructional text (e.g., a book or a course text) while generating the following separate documents: - your original text that only contains the exercises, and - a solution book that only contains the solutions to the exercises (a package option exists to also copy the exercises themselves to the solution book). The former is generated when running LaTeX on your document. This run writes the solutions to a secondary file that can be included into a simple document harness, such that when running LaTeX on the latter, you can generate a nice solution book. The code of the exsol package was taken almost literally from fancyvrb [http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb]. Therefore, all credits go to the authors/maintainers of fancyvrb.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/exsol . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/exsol (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

exsol – Exercises and solutions from the same source, into a book

This package provides macros to allow for embedding exercises and solutions in the source of an instructional text (e.g., a book or a course text) while generating the following separate documents:

  • your original text that only contains the exercises, and
  • a solution book that contains only the solutions to the exercises (optionally, the exercises themselves can also be copied to the solution book).

The exercise data are generated when running on your document; the first run also writes the solutions to a secondary file that may be included in a simple document harness, may be processed by , to generate a nice solution book.

The code of the package was derived (in large part) from fancyvrb.
