Hello, Karl:

I've browsed this PreTeXt, and it's interesting, but right now it is rather 
short on features. I looked on the R exams package because it exports to 
different LMSs, and also supports written exams, so it can identify the 
options that the student wrote on physical paper. Also, I think the two 
main things that can be improved from the R exams package are:

   - a system like sage that understands linear algebra and symbolic 
   calculus.
   - a system that looks like latex as much as possible, compatible with 
   everybody's favorite editor, with forward and inverse search.
   
Using pretext I'd lose the second advantage, and I'd also lose all the 
wonderful work in sagetex.

Regards
