as the whole site is a mix of french and latex and i'm not fluent in

what happens if you don't load the mpnum package (or whatever it's
called)
In the file papiers2.mp I have deactivated input format (changed to
%input format)
In the modules donymodule.mp and geometriesyr16.mp I changed all the
btex something etex constructs to something .
In the modules papiers2.mp and donymodule.mp I have deactivated the
init_numbers function (init_numbers changed to %init_numbers )
Now all seems to work.

[NTG-context] create and grade multiple choice exams with MUCH an ConTeXT
Dear Sirs,
For create and grade my MCQ (multiple choice quiz) I use the MUCH
command that in had found at http://fourier.math.uoc.gr/~mk/much/.
this is a very useful command for create and grade quizzes. Actually my
main propose is use MUCH with context (or luatext).
I prepare my exams in this way:
Each question = one file
Question example:
Today is:
.
31 December --- the true question is the first
.
25 December
.
13 Mars
.
In the test-description I include my specifications.
And them I do:
much create test-description
A mc-outfile.tex is created. Now I do:
pdflatex exam.tex for making the pdf file with all exams. If you can
help I would use ConTeXT to prepare the pdf file.
The migration should be very easy. I think there is necessary to define
in context several commands like:
\newcommand{\mcglobalheader}
\newcommand{\mcpaperheader}
\newcommand{\mcpaperfooter}
\newcommand{\mcquestionheader}{\noindent{\bf Question
\mcquestionnumber}: }
\newcommand{\mcquestionfooter}{}
In the file questions (mc-output.tex).
mc-output.tex
\mcglobalheader
\def\mcserialnumber{500}
\mcpaperheader
\def\mcquestionnumber{1}
\mcquestionheader How many circular orderings of the numbers
$0,1,\ldots,10$ are there?
(Two circular orderings which differ only by a rotation are not
considered different.)
\\
{$A$}: $10!$
\ \ {$B$}: $3^{11}$

Thanks for your support, but I'm afraid that need some major changes to do what I need in my exam. In fact I need to grade several items in the answer and in the end of the exam I need a table with the scores of all questions. In grading the student answer several aspects should be considerate. For example: writing the formula.. points explain the variables..points solve mathematically .points show the result with units...points In my country all the exams are make in this format: first the questions/problems/quiz.., second the table scores and third the specific grading criterions. I'm looking for a way for writing the question/problem and grade some items of the answer.

Re: [NTG-context] Prepare exams with ConTeXT
Thanks a lot. Now I'm very close to the final solution.
In LaTeX there are a exam package that do the summation of the
individual scores and show that in the page bottom and at end of the
exam in tabulate format. Perhaps ConTeXT can do the same in similar
way.

Which beta version do you use (texexec --version)? If it's not the
latest one (17.09.) simply update to that version. This bug (typo)
was
fixed some beta versions ago.
normally this !xxx kind of errors point to a missing \protect
But in this case I had the same error in a prior beta. And if I
remember
it right, \blackrule works in the current stable version (and older
ones).
This is from a mail I sent you on 31.08.

The typo was corrected in the following beta version. This is the
reason
why I think Jorge uses an older beta.

Legend for comming comments:
+ pros
- cons
? dreaming about new feature
! attention
= my (perhaps suboptimal) solution
* note
Comments:
grid
+ very powerfull and working support
+ works gracefully with columnsets and floats
* avoiding orphans and widows was done manually by:
= enlarging/decreasing figures
= adding/removing (half)blank lines around heads
? if we want to do avoiding orphans and widows automatically,
we would probably need the glue with DISCRETE STEP of
stretch/shrink.
Then we can say e.g.
\let\bl=\baselineskip
\setuphead
[section]
[before=\vskip1\bl plus1\bl withstep1\bl]
to get vertical space before section head exactly 1 OR 2
\baselineskip height.
Another solution with stepwise box:
\vbox to2\bl plus2\bl withstep1\bl{\vfil heading \vfil}
! the only problem was in the table of contents + columns;
from the first line there was a small shift between columns;
perhaps \splittopskip? but setting it to large enough value
does not solve it.
columnsets
+ very nice feature, really;
after Hans improvement seems that some floats soes not dissappered
now, but need to be carefull
+ floats insertion with specifying place
? for top float: automatically setting \placeongrid[{broad,high}]
for bottom float \placeongrid[{broad,low}]
to be vertically align with text on the rest of column(s)
* balancing: only manually by setting:
\setupcolumnsetlines[columnset_id][columnset_page][column][line]
! Not so painful if it not occures next: If there are many
floats near balancing place they sometimes disappear or cause ignoring
balancing - even if they can fit on the place.
? understand that automatical balancing with floats is extremly
difficult
* page floats: big improvements during the work.
! running marginal text continue through the page with only float
= so you have to manually insert blank vertical margin on such
place
* header footers: Hans did a new column marking:
\getmarking[marking_id][column][last/first].
! There are some problems [perhaps with expansion (different
counter number and text)] if marking goes between two columnsets
(framed
chapters cross two cols in examples).
= found acceptable hack but need more ivestigation on small
examples for cleaning.
metapost inclusion
+ the most powerful, smooth and stable part of ConTeXt in my opinion
(see random frames, circles with transparent graphics, lines with color
shading)
= if you have many (over 1024!) shadings (- MP specials) do
\settrue \manyMPspecials
index (register)
+ nice possibility to differentiate several groups (here 8 from
which
4 have different visual marking of page number, see index example)
- sorting: until this spring there was no satisfied backround for
Czech sorting in newtexutil.rb till this spring.
= I did dirty reimplementation of old texutil.pl for doing so
* I have to have a look for new sorting now.
- coupling: page numbers with group preserving (see example)
= also in texutil.pl reimplementation
regime
* my great discovery was that the regime IS
\enableregime{latin2} % correct
and NOT
\enableregime{il2} % incorrect!

I provide the environment files (design definition) in case of

[NTG-context] making posters with ContexT
Hi I am trying to making a scientifique poster in Context. I need some suggestions, foreground an example, to start. Somebody has a nice example to share? What is the correct scales for the fonts? Have a nice day/night Thanks to all Jorge ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
