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