AUTO-MULTIPLE-CHOI(1)        Auto Multiple Choice        AUTO-MULTIPLE-CHOI(1)

NAME
       auto-multiple-choice-prepare - prepares working documents from LaTeX
       source file

SYNOPSIS
       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s --prefix project-dir
                            mcq-source-file

       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b --data project-data-dir
                            mcq-source-file

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

       •   with "--mode s", auto-multiple-choice prepare 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 b", auto-multiple-choice prepare extracts scoring data
           from the source file. In this mode, the --data argument must be
           used (see below).

       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 example.

       --filter filter
           sets the filter name to transform the MCQ source file into a LaTeX
           file. Native filters are latex (no change at all) and plain (source
           is an AMC-TXT file).

       --filtered-source mcq-latex-file
           gives the LaTeX file to make from the source file using specified
           filter. If omitted, a filename derived from mcq-source-file adding
           _filtered.tex is used.

       --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.

       --epoch EPOCH
           gives an epoch (number of seconds since january 1, 1970) to get a
           reproducible pdf output.

       --data project-data-dir
           sets the directory where the project's SQLite data files are.
