Closed pablgonz closed 5 years ago
I am planning to add a solution as an alternative to the current behavior. I do not have as much time as I used to for (La)TeX currently. This will come one time…
I close this as a duplicate of issue #9
I have seen the comment and I've noticed the scontents
package. For the time being the switching-off of the external files will disable using verbatim material, though… scontents
does
\NewDocumentCommand { \__scontents_verb_arg:w } { +v }
which is a little bit of cheating ;) \NewDocumentCommand
is meant to define user commands while \__scontents_verb_arg:w
clearly is an internal command for the package… I've misused \NewDocumentCommand
, too, but not in xsim
where I want to keep the code as clean as I can.
I might find another way, though :)
Yes, the truth is that \scontents_verb_arg:w
is a bit misleading ... there was no other way out since \tl_rescan
does not work properly with verbatim
material, only the old \scantokens
has that ability :) (for now) .
The code of xsim
is pure and clear, we appreciate the comments you leave in source codes, otherwise I would never have understood how xsimverb
worked.
The comment left it for the scontents
environment rather than for the \Scontents
command, basically it is the same idea as xsimverb
, but, saving the content in \tl
and modifying the blessed end of line ^^M
:) (a headache) and stored this in a sequence.
With your new version I think I can move (at last) from exsheets
to xsim
.
Maybe an idea of the "star" type in environments not to write in external files? I see something like that in my mind:
\usepackage[no-files]{xsim}
\begin{exercise*}[...]
\scantokens{body} and save in prop list
\end{exercise*}
\begin{solution*}[...]
\scantokens{body} and save in prop list
\end{solution*}
and for xparse
, solution
of solution*
are different (I don't mean the s
argument) . maybe you could try something, I repeat, it's just an idea, and it's not that this against writing external files, it's just that, one of the things I liked most about exsheets
was that.

Hello, first of all, grateful for the great work with
xsim
, I have a suggestion (or idea) that I can maybe implement inxsim
, I know that writing external files is necessary because ofverbatim
can not be used as an argument in macros, but, in some replies on tex.sx:and
pythontex
package, they manage not to use external files and saveverbatim
material usingscantokens
. Could you implement this inxsim
? Saludos
