Annotation of capa/capa51/pProj/capa.config.structure, revision 1.1
1.1 ! albertel 1: Part 1. General description
! 2:
! 3: Generally comments begin with a hash mark (#) in the first column.
! 4:
! 5: When specifying the value of a variable there must be a space before
! 6: the := or = . In all parts except for the capatools configuration use
! 7: an = to set a value. In the capatools section depending on the action
! 8: either a := or an = is required.
! 9:
! 10: When specifying a value that has spaces in it surround it with double
! 11: quotes.
! 12:
! 13: Example:
! 14:
! 15: some_variable = "some value with spaces"
! 16:
! 17:
! 18: ---
! 19: Part 2. class structure
! 20:
! 21: The first two keywords are used by capalogin, capasbin/capahtml (WWW
! 22: programs) and capatools, the last two keywords are used only by
! 23: capatools.
! 24:
! 25: exam_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/xns111f8
! 26:
! 27: exam_path specifies the directory that the exams are in for this class.
! 28:
! 29: quiz_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/qns111f8
! 30:
! 31: quiz_path specifies the directory that the quizzes are in for this
! 32: class.
! 33:
! 34: supp_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/sns111f8
! 35: others_path = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/fci111f8
! 36:
! 37:
! 38: ---
! 39: Part 3. Command specifications
! 40:
! 41: These 5 values specify where programs can be found, the settings are
! 42: used by Quizzer and capatools.
! 43:
! 44: latex_command = latex
! 45:
! 46: Specify how to run latex on your machine.
! 47:
! 48: dvips_command = dvips
! 49:
! 50: Specify how to run dvips on your machine.
! 51:
! 52: mail_command = /usr/bin/mailx
! 53:
! 54: Specify what mail program to use on your machine.
! 55:
! 56: allcapaid_command = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/allcapaid
! 57:
! 58: Specify where the allcapaid program has been installed
! 59:
! 60: qzparse_command = /usr/users/teacher/CAPA45/qzparse
! 61:
! 62: Specify where the qzparse program has been installed.
! 63:
! 64:
! 65: ---
! 66: Part 4. Printing configuration
! 67:
! 68: There are three keywords here which are used by capatools, Quizzer and
! 69: Grader to control how printing happens.
! 70:
! 71: printer_option = postscript1
! 72: printer_option = postscript2
! 73:
! 74: the first keyword may appear multiple times. It specifies all of the
! 75: printing queues you may select. When printing the list of thes queues
! 76: will be presented from which you can select the print queue you wish
! 77: to use.
! 78:
! 79: lprOneSided_command = "/usr/bin/lpr -P$Printer_selected"
! 80: lprTwoSided_command = "/usr/bin/lpspr -K2 $PS_file | /usr/bin/lpr -P$Printer_selected"
! 81:
! 82: The next two keywords lprOneSided_command and lprTwoSided_command
! 83: specify how to print one sided pieces of paper and two-sided sheets
! 84: respectively. As can seen by the above examples the needn't be a
! 85: single command, and can be a series of commands piped together. The
! 86: special variable $PS_file will be replaced with the name of the file
! 87: when this command is used, ad the special variable $Printer_selected
! 88: will be replaced with the name of the printer queue that is going to
! 89: be used.

! 93: Part 5. capalogin settings (telnet connection)
! 94:
! 95: There are three values to be defined for capalogin. All have default
! 96: values if they are unspecified.
! 97:
! 98: capalogin_goodby_delay = 10
! 99:
! 100: The delay time in seconds that CAPA waits at goodbye screen before
! 101: closing the connection. The default time is 5 seconds.
! 102:
! 103: capalogin_inactivity_delay = 35
! 104:
! 105: The delay time in minutes before CAPA closes a connection that has
! 106: been inactive. If the student fails to press any key in 35 minutes the
! 107: connection will be automatically closed. The default value is 60
! 108: minutes. To disable this feature set the delay to be zero and the
! 109: student will never be timed out
! 110:
! 111: capalogin_show_summary_score = none
! 112:
! 113: This value will inhibit the show of the summary line in view previous
! 114: sets. If it is set to any value other than none it will show the total
! 115: score. By default this option is set such that the summary line will
! 116: be shown.
! 117:
! 118:
! 119: ---
! 120: Part 6. Quizzer settings
! 121:
! 122: There is on quizzer setting right now. It is what is outputed by
! 123: pressing the "Std. Header" button.
! 124:
! 125: Everything taht appears between the keywords
! 126: BeginStandardQuizzerHeader
! 127: EnStandardQuizzerHeader
! 128: is entered into the current .qz file when this button is pressed.

! 132: Part 7. Units section
! 133:
! 134: Three subsections seperated by special idetifiers.
! 135:
! 136: --
! 137: Subsection 7.1 Base Units
! 138:
! 139: Base Units are the units which are the basis of all of the other units
! 140: derived.
! 141:
! 142: Special identifier:
! 143: << Base Unit >>
! 144:
! 145: 3 columns, all are required
! 146:
! 147: name symbol comment
! 148:
! 149: The name must be oneword. No spaces are allowed.
! 150:
! 151: The next column, symbol also cannot contain spaces. This is the name
! 152: that used in derived units to refer to this base unit.
! 153:
! 154: The third column is a comment it begins with a hash mark (#) and ends
! 155: when a return is seen. It is required.
! 156:
! 157:
! 158: --
! 159: Subsection 7.2 Prefixes
! 160:
! 161: Prefixes allow one to affix a single letter onto a base or Derived
! 162: unit to change it by a multiplicative offset.
! 163: I.e mm is milli meters = 10^-3 * m
! 164:
! 165: Special identifier:
! 166: << Prefix >>
! 167:
! 168: 3 columns, all required
! 169:
! 170: name symbol factor
! 171:
! 172: The name must be one word. No spaces are allowed.
! 173:
! 174: The symbol must be a single character.
! 175:
! 176: The factor is the multiplicative shift this prefix is.
! 177:
! 178:
! 179: --
! 180: Subsection 7.3 Derived Units
! 181:
! 182: Units that are combinations of the base units, each base unit can
! 183: occur no more than once in the definition of a derived unit. This
! 184: restriction is not true when attempting to answer a question using
! 185: units, it only holds in defining new derived units.
! 186:
! 187: Derived units can be specified in terms of other previously defined
! 188: derived units.
! 189:
! 190: Special identifier:
! 191: <<Derived Unit>>
! 192:
! 193: 4 columns all required
! 194:
! 195: first column is a name, it must not contain any spaces.
! 196:
! 197: The next column is the symbol, it can be multiple characters but
! 198: cannot contain spaces.
! 199:
! 200: The third column is the derivation of the unit, it contains an
! 201: optional multiplicative offset and then a specification in terms of
! 202: other base units and other previously defined derived units.
! 203:
! 204: The fourth column is a comment. It begins with a hash mark (#) and
! 205: ends with a return. It is required.
! 206:
! 207:
