All 17: of these tags except <outtext> are valid and parsed by 18: &parsed() inside a <script>. 19: </p> 20: <p> 21: Additionaly any perl style variables are replaced with the values 22: of the variable in the problem namespace. 23: </p> 24: <ul> 25: <li> 26: <outtext> all data inside is assumed to be valid 27: html, the handler will attempt to autoconvert to the output 28: type. The only thing tags allowed inside are the ones listed 29: below. 30: </li> 31: 32: <li> 33: <target> This tag specifies data that is not in HTMl 34: format inside an <outtext>. Takes a required 35: argument <arg>type</arg> and an optional argument 36: <arg>dest</arg>. <arg>type</arg> specifies a known valid 37: output target which is the format of the 38: data. <arg>dest</arg> specifies a list of possible output 39: targets that the data should be autoconverted for. The 40: \arg{type> of the data is assumed to be a 41: \arg{dest>. If the current target is not a 42: \arg{dest> then the data is ignored. 43: </li> 44: \item <tex> shorthand for $<$target type=``tex''$>$ 45: \arg{dest> is a valid argument. 46: 47: \item <ascii> shorthand for $<$target type=``ascii''$>$ 48: \arg{dest> is a valid argument. 49: 50: \item <web> shorthand for $<$target type=``web''$>$ 51: \arg{dest> is a valid argument. 52: 53: \item <mathml> shorthand for $<$target type=``mathml''$>$ 54: \arg{dest> is a valid argument, mathml may be passed along 55: unconverted in a web output target. 56: 57: \end{itemize> 58: \item Form Elements: 59: 60: This set of tags soley generate a representation of the proper 61: form element on the output device. Need to look at what should 62: be provided when an exam is wanted. 63: 64: \begin{itemize> 65: \item <radio> 66: 67: web - provides a single button to check on and off, when checked on 68: all other radio buttons in the current <answergroup> level 69: will be set to off. 70: 71: tex - generates a circle before the data inside 72: 73: \item <list> 74: 75: web - provides a drop down box of all the possible options 76: 77: tex - the list is displayed an students can select the correct option 78: 79: \item <textline> 80: 81: web - a single line of reponse is provided to type into. 82: 83: tex - a line is provided. 84: 85: \item <textarea> 86: 87: web - a textarea form is provided allowing multiples lines of response 88: 89: tex - a configureable number of lines is provided, configured through 90: the argument numlines, defaults to 10 91: 92: \item <check> 93: 94: web - either a checkbutton, or two radio buttons are provided 95: 96: tex - a small box that can be checked is provided. 97: 98: \item <button> - Not sure this is useful 99: 100: \end{itemize> 101: \item Randomiztion 102: \begin{itemize> 103: \item <randomlist> this tag will cause the parser to randomly select the order that it parses the next level of tags, tags another leveldown will be done in order though.Example 104: <randomlist>\\ 105: \hspace5pt <tag1>\\ 106: <subtag1>\\ 107: </subtag1>\\ 108: <subtag2>\\ 109: </subtag2>\\ 110: </tag1>\\ 111: <tag2>\\ 112: <subtag1>\\ 113: </subtag1>\\ 114: <subtag2>\\ 115: </subtag2>\\ 116: </tag2>\\ 117: </randomlist>\\ 118: In this example, <tag1> or <tag2> will be done first, but <subtag1> will always happen before <subtag2>. 119: 120: \item <foil> 121: \item <showfoil> 122: \item <showrandomfoil> 123: \end{itemize> 124: \item Answer Section 125: \begin{itemize> 126: \item <answergroup> 127: \item <*response> 128: \end{itemize> 129: \item Problem Contruction 130: \begin{itemize> 131: \item <block> 132: \item <part> 133: \item <include> 134: \item <script> 135: \item <problem> 136: \item <entryform> 137: \item <survey> 138: \item <graded> 139: \item <while> 140: \end{itemize> 141: \item Libraries 142: \begin{itemize> 143: \item <scriptlib> 144: \item <parserlib> 145: \end{itemize> 146: \end{itemize} 147: 148: \section{CAPA compatability function Calls} 149: \begin{itemize} 150: \item random 151: \item random\_normal 152: \item random\_beta 153: \item random\_gamma 154: \item random\_poisson 155: \item random\_exponential 156: \item random\_chi 157: \item random\_noncentral\_chi 158: \item choose 159: \item var\_in\_tex 160: \item capa\_id 161: \item class, section, set, problem, name, student\_number 162: \item due\_date, open\_date, answer\_date 163: \item to\_string 164: \item sub\_string 165: \item strlen 166: \item get\_seed 167: \item set\_seed 168: \item init\_array 169: \item array\_max, array\_min 170: \item array\_moments 171: \item to\_int 172: \item format 173: \item pick 174: \item sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, atan2 175: \item sinh, cosh, tanh, asinh, acosh, atanh 176: \item j0, j1, jn, y0, y1, yn 177: \item log, log10 178: \item exp, pow 179: \item erf, erfc 180: \item sqrt 181: \item min, max 182: \item abs, floor, ceil, sgn, mod, remainder 183: \item factorial 184: \item roundto 185: \item eval\_formula 186: \item capa\_id\_plus 187: \item seat\_number 188: \item duration 189: \item is\_open, is\_due, is\_answer 190: \item managermode 191: \end{itemize} 192: \end{document} 193: 194: 195: <hr> 196: <address><a href="mailto:albertel@marvin.lite.msu.edu">Guy Albertelli</a></address> 197:  198:  199: Last modified: Mon Mar 27 16:44:40 EST 2000 200:  201: </body> 202: </html>
