CTAN Update: exsheets
by CTAN Announcements 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the exsheets package. Summary description: Yet another package for the creation of exercise sheets. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There has been a potentially breaking change: the {tasks} environment previously provided by ExSheets has been extracted into a package of its own (`tasks') now shipped with and being part of the exsheets bundle. This does not change any syntax per se. However, the options for the environment are no longer set with SetupExSheets but with settasks. Also the object that is used for the list template and its instances has been renamed from `exsheets-tasks' into `tasks'. Another breaking change while we're at it) is a syntax difference with the {tasks} environment: the optional argument for the number of columns is no longer set in braces but parentheses. This is deliberate as it reflects the optional nature of the argument better and is consistent with the syntax of NewTasks, too. Additionally the labels of the list got an additional offset of 1ex from the items which will lead to different visual output. In some cases this might actually lead to the most annoying changes. In this case say settasks{label-offset=0pt} which should cure things again. Unrelated with the above there have been improvements to the random selection of questions which seems to work properly now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/exsheets .
