 Dear all
 I'm coming back with a question that was raised several times on the
 list, but that didn't yet get a definitive answer: creating
 multiple-choice exams using LyX.
 
 The exam.layout posted on the list [1] can be useful is some cases,
 but cannot be used for multiple choice. The examdesign.layout posted
 by Paul [2] may work after a minor modification (see attached), 

With LyX, I use Hirschorn's exam class:  http://www-math.mit.edu/~psh/#ExamCls

I found a layout file that requires a lot of ERT, but does successfully utilize
all of the features of this class. I will attach it at the end, but should note
that the credit does NOT belong to me.

I prefer the Examdesign class and use it as regular TeX. I have not figured out
how to set up a layout file in LyX which uses the nesting.

I hope you find something here that you can use. The limitation I see with LyX
is the ability to nest in a layout file.

Günter,

I have now submitted a new languages file format to trunk. You could help if 
you added the polyglossia names there. The syntax would look like:

Language ngerman
GuiName German
BabelName   ngerman
PolyglossiaName german
Encodingiso8859-15
LangCodede_DE
End

If a language is not yet supported by polyglossia, just omit the 
PolyglossiaName entry. This means that you also must specify a PolyglossiaName 
if it is identical to the BabelName.

Thanks. After checking the documentation 'exam' is much more capable
than Andrés' exam.layout would have you believe. Do you think you
could also post (or send privately) an example of multiple choice LyX
document using this class (and ettrich's exam.layout)? You could use
loremipsumize.py in elyxer to anonymize the document.

Yes, Steve has been singling out this very issue, too. Is anyone aware

Problems with new version

[Markus Kossner]

Dear Lyx users,
I have a strange problem when using a newer version of Lyx. Here's my 
problem:
I have written my thesis using Lyx 1.6.2. Now I have a new computer 
running Lyx 1.6.7. Both computers had Ubuntu linux running.
Now the lyx file can be opened and compiled to pdf on the old computer 
but not on the new one that has the newer lyx version.


I get the following error messages:

\newpage

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Here is the email where I troubleshot the compile failures down to the

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg66171.html

The thread that follows goes into possible solutions and eventually comes to 
the conclusion that it's insoluble without modifying LyX files to take LaTeX 
out of LyX style defs.

If one could somehow take all the Preamble...EndPreamble code out of LyX 
styles and put it in the document preamble, the compile problems would go 
away.

The only solution I can think of that doesn't involve reconstructing existing 
LyX files that distribute with LyX is a script that recurses through all 
included LyX files, removes LaTeX embedded in LyX styles, and moves it up to 
the document preamble, and then use THAT MASSIVE FILE as your layout file. 
Ugly!

I haven't looked at the two threads attentively, but on a quick check
this wasn't discussed: what about using one of the following tricks
[1]?
\AtEndOfClass {code}
\AtEndOfPackage {code}
\AtBeginDocument {code}

I'm not sure that the code included in the last command is actually
included in the preamble, but I have a feeling that it is treated as
if it were. Could this help?

Jean-Marc, thanks very much for your suggestion. Unfortunately I am
not familiar enough with macros and branches to know whether it would

confusing cross-references

[Jack Tanner]

Something is really screwy with the references in this simple document 
under LyX 1.6.7.


The key sentence should get rendered in PDF (via pdflatex) as

here be a formatted reference to figure 1, which lives in section 2: 
Figure 1 on page 1. and here be a reference to the float label: 1


Instead, it gets rendered as

here be a formatted reference to figure 1, which lives in section 2: 
Figure 2 on page 1. and here be a reference to the float label: 2


In other words, instead of using the figure number, it's using the 
section number. Is this to be expected?

With LyX, I use Hirschorn's exam class:  http://www-math.mit.edu/~psh/#ExamCls

I found a layout file that requires a lot of ERT, but does successfully utilize
all of the features of this class. I will attach it at the end, but should note
that the credit does NOT belong to me.

I prefer the Examdesign class and use it as regular TeX. I have not figured out
how to set up a layout file in LyX which uses the nesting.

I hope you find something here that you can use. The limitation I see with LyX
is the ability to nest in a layout file.

Günter,

I have now submitted a new languages file format to trunk. You could help if

Language ngerman
GuiName "German"
BabelName   ngerman
PolyglossiaName german

If a language is not yet supported by polyglossia, just omit the 
PolyglossiaName entry. This means that you also must specify a PolyglossiaName 
if it is identical to the BabelName.

Thanks. After checking the documentation 'exam' is much more capable
than Andrés' exam.layout would have you believe. Do you think you
could also post (or send privately) an example of multiple choice LyX
document using this class (and ettrich's exam.layout)? You could use
loremipsumize.py in elyxer to anonymize the document.

Looking at the polyglossia manual, I learned that we will also need  
PolyglossiaOpts. E.g.

Language german
 GuiName   "German (old spelling)"
 BabelName german
 PolyglossiaName   german
 PolyglossiaOpts   "spelling=old,babelshorthands=true"
 Encoding  iso8859-15
 LangCode  de_DE
End
