LaTeX: conclusions to webwork exercises come a bit early #2255

Open Alex-Jordan opened 2 months ago

Alex-Jordan commented 2 months ago

Take a look at the first exercise here: https://pretextbook.org/examples/webwork/sample-chapter/sample-chapter.pdf#page=6

The "That was a simple problem. Let’s move on." is authored in a conclusion in source. The source is structured:

exercise
    introduction
    webwork
    conclusion

Something about what happens with webwork-reps in -assembly is causing the introduction, webwork-reps/static/statement, and conclusion to come out immediately one after the other. So then the hint/answer/solution comes after the conclusion, which seems undesirable. In HTML static preview, hint/answer/solution all come before the conclusion.

(Can you tell I am looking closely at PDF output to get Tacoma progress posted?)

which seems undesirable

Debatable. ;-) Take it to pretext-dev for any necessary discussion.

This is a conscious decision, as static formats have no notion of an introduction, then a statment, then a conclusion. They wouldn't know what to do with it. So introduction and conclusion become melded into the statement. See the otherwise in the pretext-assembly template starting at about line 2411.

The point is: we have to fashion something that is universally recognized by existing PreText conversions.

I think the issue is having one output format present content in one order, and a different format presents content in a different order, if the author meant for one piece of content to logically follow the other.

I'll propose a solution on -dev. Later.
