Issues from KQ, 21.09.16

[cmhughes]

Hi Robert, I hope you don't mind, I thought I'd log issues from KQ here:

19.1 Add ‘Confidential’ to the headings at the beginning. 19.2 Add a command to draw a horizontal line to match the others (needed to separate the preamble from the first solution). 19.3 Make the final horizontal line at the end of the tutor notes match the others. 19.4 Add an environment, say ‘tntext’, that is exactly the same as ‘remark’ except that it doesn’t add the output text ‘Remark:’. That is, it just causes the enclosed text to appear only in the tutor notes and not in the specimen solutions. Needed for the mark tables. 19.5 Add commands, say \tnnewpage and \ssnewpage, for taking a new page only in the tutor notes and specimen solutions, respectively, so the document can be paginated easily. 19.6 Add a new command, say \references, for adding references that are more than one line long. Use a nicer-looking output format than that used by the current command \textref, which encloses text in a box and also makes it bold and italic. Just one of these means of highlighting would be sufficient. I’d suggest a box would be okay, or perhaps just an italic title ‘References’, as we used to have. Or allow users to choose their own style.
19.7 It would be nice to have the option of singular (output text ‘Remark’) or plural (output text ‘Remarks’) for the remarks command. I.e. two almost identical commands, \remark and \remarks. Similarly for the references command, if it produces a title in the output. 19.8 It would be nice to have the option of no subtotal where no subtotal is needed (i.e. to be able to just have a horizontal line with no subtotal appearing). 19.9 Some of the vertical spacing could do with a little improvement, but this is completely cosmetic.

I hope to be able to address some of them in due course. If you'd prefer to open separate issues for each one, do let me know. Best Chris

Fine to leave as a single issue -- I've numbered the sub-issues so that they can be marked as complete as and when they are handled.

Note that issues #19.4 and #19.7 (and maybe some others) are probably already recorded under issue #13 -- there's a general framework to be set up here so that users can customise these things.

19.2, #19.3 and #19.8 now implemented per pull request https://github.com/rbrignall/OU-SUPPS/commit/ce750eacda2983a047cd60cfc4d70baeeb92321c

[rbrignall]

Feature #24 implements tutor/student specific commands (see also issue #13 ), which covers #19.4, #19.5, #19.7.

Remaining sub-issues: #19.1, #19.6, #19.9

Looking at #19.1, are you looking for something more sophisticated than using, for example:

\tntitle{MST125 TUTOR NOTES 2 [CONFIDENTIAL]}

[rbrignall]

That would presumably be an adequate solution...

We might want to consider whether having an option to have "CONFIDENTIAL" at the top of every page is the right way to implement this, though we may conclude against this.
