Description

The AMC-prepare.pl command extracts working documents from the source LaTeX file describing the multiple choice questionnaire. Information to be extracted depends on the --mode argument value. In any mode, the LaTeX source filename must be given as an argument.

  • with "--mode s", AMC-prepare.pl makes the subject file (answer sheet to be printed and given to the students), the correction (single corrected answer sheet) and the positions file (file containing information about the positions of the boxes on the pages). The following arguments can be used:

    --out-sujet subject.pdf

    sets the subject file to build.

    --out-corrige corrected.pdf

    sets the correction to build.

    --out-calage calage.xy

    sets the positions file to build.

    --prefix directory

    this directory is only necessary if one or more of the three previous options are not used: default values are then directory/sujet.pdf, directory/corrige.pdf and directory/calage.xy.

  • with "--mode m", AMC-prepare.pl makes the MEP files (XML files with exact positions of the boxes, the marks, the name field on all the pages). In this mode, the following arguments must be used:

    --calage calage.xy

    sets the positions file to be used.

    --mep project-mep-dir

    sets the directory to store MEP files into.

  • with "--mode b", AMC-prepare.pl makes the scoring file extracting the scoring strategy defined in the source LaTeX file. In this mode, the following arguments must be used:

    --bareme scoring.xml

    sets the scoring file to create.

The following optional arguments can be used in any mode:

--with latex-engine

gives the LaTeX engine (command) to be used. latex-engine can be pdflatex or xelatex for exemple.

--n-copies n

sets the number of copies to produce, overriding the number given in the LaTeX source file (first argument of the \onecopy command).

--debug file.log

gives a file to fill with debugging information.
