\section{Introduction}

The name of the package is \pkg{mi-solns}, where `m' is for `mark' and `i' is
for `insert'. So the \pkg{mi-solns} package can mark and insert solutions
(created by the \pkg{exerquiz} and \pkg{eqexam} packages).

The \pkg{exerquiz}
(\href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/acrotex}{ctan.org/pkg/acrotex}) and
\pkg{eqexam} (\href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/eqexam}{ctan.org/pkg/eqexam})
packages are capable of creating questions and solutions to exercises and
quizzes. The purpose of this package is to present commands for marking, and
for inserting any marked solution---for whatever reason---into the body of
the document.\footnote{A solution may be inserted into anohter solution, but
may  not be inserted into itself.} To accomplish this goal, recent versions
of \pkg{exerquiz} and \pkg{eqexam} are required (dated 2018/12/13 or later);
also required is the \pkg{shellesc} package
(\href{https://ctan.org/pkg/shellesc}{ctan.org/pkg/shellesc}).

While the document is being compiled, the solution files (\SOL{} and \QSL) are
being written to, so we cannot input them or read them. What we do is to make
a copy of the solution files from within the operating system, and input the
copy back into the body of the document when required. Consequently, it is
necessary to activate the feature of executing an OS script from within the
compiling operation. To activate the feature, the document needs to be
compiled with the \texttt{-{}-shell-escape} switch (for
\app{latex}, \app{pdflatex}, \app{lualatex}, or \app{xelatex}, depending on
your workflow).

\paragraph*{Description of workflow.} The procedure is simple and short: (1)
mark a solution for insertion (\cs{mrkForIns\darg{\ameta{name}}}), just above
the \env{solution} environment; and (2) insert the solution with
\cs{insExSoln\darg{\ameta{name}}}, \cs{insSqSoln\darg{\ameta{name}}}, or
\cs{insQzSoln\darg{\ameta{name}}}, depending on whether the solution came
from an \env{exercise}, \env{shortquiz}, or \env{quiz} environment.

\paragraph*{Demo files.} There are four demonstration files.
\begin{itemize}
    \item \texttt{mi-solns-eq.tex} uses \pkg{exerquiz} to test the features
    of \pkg{mi-solns}.
    \item \texttt{mi-solns-eqe.tex} uses \pkg{eqexam} to test the features
        of \pkg{mi-solns}.
    \item \texttt{create-db.tex} part of a novel idea, it is an application for changing
    the output file names. Compiling this file creates \texttt{poems.lst}, which is a very small database
    of poetic quotations.
    \item \texttt{use-db.tex} is the companion file to
        \texttt{create-db.tex}. Once \texttt{poems.lst} is created, compile
        \texttt{use-db.tex}, which will input \texttt{poems.lst} and
        display the quotations.
\end{itemize}

\section{Copying the \texorpdfstring{\SOL\space and \QSL}{SOL and QSL} files}

Assuming you have determined how to compile using the
\texttt{-{}-shell-escape} switch, when you compile a \pkg{mi-solns} document,
the files \cs{jobname.sol} and \cs{jobname.qsl} are copied at the end of the
document. The destination filenames are \cs{jobname-cpy.sol} and
\cs{jobname-cpy.qsl} by default, but these names can be changed through the
commands \cs{declSOLOut} and \cs{declQSLOut}.
\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\declSOLOut\darg{\ameta{sol-out}}}%
\setlength\aebscratch{\bxSize}%
\def\1{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\normalfont(\cs{declSOLIn\darg{\string\jobname.sol}})}}}%
\def\2{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\normalfont(\cs{declSOLOut\darg{\string\jobname-cpy.sol}})}}}%
\def\3{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\normalfont(\cs{declQSLIn\darg{\string\jobname.qsl}})}}}%
\def\4{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\normalfont(\cs{declQSLOut\darg{\string\jobname-cpy.qsl}})}}}%
\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!(),commentchar=\%]{\bxSize}
%!1\declSOLIn{!ameta(sol-in)}
!2\declSOLOut{!ameta(sol-out)}
%!3\declQSLIn{!ameta(qsl-in)}
!4\declQSLOut{!ameta(qsl-out)}
\end{dCmd}
\eVerb At the end of the document, the following OS operations occur:
\begin{itemize}
  \item Copy \cs{jobname.sol} to \ameta{sol-out} (\cs{jobname.sol} to \cs{jobname-cpy.sol})
  \item Copy \cs{jobname.qsl} to \ameta{qsl-out} (\cs{jobname.qsl} to \cs{jobname-cpy.qsl})
\end{itemize}
Freely change the names of the output files according to your own whims.

\paragraph*{The copy commands.} The following two commands expand the run-time scripts for
copying one file to another.
\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\newcommand\darg{\string\copyfileCmdEx}\darg{copy \string\jobname.sol \string\misolout}}%
\setlength\aebscratch{\bxSize}%
\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
\newcommand{\copyfileCmdEx}{copy \jobname.sol \misolout}
\newcommand{\copyfileCmdQz}{copy \jobname.qsl \miqslout}
\end{dCmd}
\eVerb where \cs{misolout} and \cs{miqslout} expand to the names assigned by
the declarations \cs{declSOLOut} and \cs{declQSLOut}, respectively. These are
the definitions for \app{Windows} OS, it might be necessary to redefine these
commands corresponding to the OS in which you reside.

\paragraph*{Turn copying on and off.} The SOL and QSL files are automatically copied, by default;
however, this operation can be turned off.
\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\copySolnsOn\qquad\string\copySolnsOff}%
\setlength\aebscratch{\bxSize}%
\def\1{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\sffamily(preamble only)}}}%
\def\2{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\sffamily(anywhere)}}}%
\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
!1\copySolnsOn!qquad\copySolnsOff
!2\readSolnsOn!qquad\readSolnsOff
\end{dCmd}
\eVerb \cs{copySolnsOn} is the default, it causes the solutions to be copied
at the end of the document; \cs{copySolnsOff} turns off the copying. Why
would you do this? Well, if you have completed composing your solutions and
you are concentrating on the other content of the document, there is no need
to repeatedly copy the solution files. Perhaps turn it on for the final
\emph{two compiles}. Yes, you read correctly, two compiles. Since the
solution files are copied at the end of the document, the refreshed
\ameta{sol-out} and \ameta{qsl-out} files do not get read until the next
compile.

\cs{readSolnsOn} is initially expanded by the package, so it is the default. If you expand \cs{readSolnsOff}, the commands
\cs{insExSoln}, \cs{insSqSoln}, and \cs{insQzSoln} do not input their target file; instead
\cs{miReadOffMsg} is typeset. The default definition of this command is,
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent]
\newcommand\miReadOffMsg{(\textbf{?? read is off ??})}
\end{Verbatim}
This command may be redefined as desired.

\section{Marking a solution}

The first step is to mark a solution you wish to insert elsewhere in the document.
\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\mrkForIns\darg{\ameta{name}}}%
\setlength\aebscratch{\bxSize}%
\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
\mrkForIns{!ameta(name)}
\end{dCmd}
\eVerb The placement is just above the targeted \env{solution} environment.
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,commandchars=!()]
!textbf(\mrkForIns{!ameta(name)})
\begin{solution}[!ameta(options)]
!quad!ameta(solution)
\end{solution}
\end{Verbatim}
Here, \ameta{name} is a word consisting of only ASCII characters. As the \ameta{sol-out} file is  read in,
a simple string comparison is performed. If \pkg{mi-solns} is not displaying the solution you want to insert,
this could be the problem; simplify the word(s) used for the \ameta{name} argument.

%\insExSoln[\ignoreques]{dps}

Below is a simple example we'll work with throughout the rest of this documentation.

\begin{exercise}\label{ex:First}
\begin{cq}An intelligent question.\end{cq}
\mrkForIns{myIQ}
\begin{solution}
A brilliant answer to the intelligent question.
\ifmiswitch(D. P. Story)\fi
\end{solution}
\end{exercise}
The verbatim listing is,
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,commandchars={!@^}]
\newif\ifmiswitch \miswitchfalse %!sffamily@ used in Example 4^
...
\begin{exercise}
\begin{cq}An intelligent question.\end{cq}
!textbf@\mrkForIns{myIQ}^
\begin{solution}
A brilliant answer to the intelligent question.
\ifmiswitch(D. P. Story)\fi
\end{solution}
\end{exercise}
\end{Verbatim}
Continue to the next section for information on how to insert the solution
into the document.

\section{Inserting a solution}

The second step is to insert the solution into the document. There are three
commands for inserting marked content back in the document.
\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\insExSoln[\ameta{inserts}]\darg{\ameta{name}}}%
\setlength\aebscratch{\bxSize}%
\setlength\aebscratch{\bxSize}%
\def\1{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\sffamily(for \env{exercise} env.)}}}%
\def\2{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\sffamily(for \env{shortquiz} env.)}}}%
\def\3{\makebox[0pt][l]{\hspace{\aebscratch}\enspace\makebox[0pt][l]{\sffamily(for \env{quiz} env.)}}}%
\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
!1\insExSoln[!ameta(inserts)]{!ameta(name)}
!2\insSqSoln[!ameta(inserts)]{!ameta(name)}
!3\insQzSoln[!ameta(inserts)]{!ameta(name)}
\end{dCmd}
\eVerb where, \ameta{name} must match up with the \ameta{name} argument of a
\cs{mrkForIns} command somewhere in the document. For solution content to
appear correctly, the choice of the insertion command must match the
environment that has been marked. If you marked a solution to an exercise,
then use \cs{insExSoln} to insert that solution. This is possible error
point, if the \ameta{name} does not match up with the correct insertion
command.

The \ameta{inserts} optional parameter can be most anything that does not
disrupt the expansion of the \cs{ins??Soln} commands. \emph{It is placed
within a group.}\marginpar{\small\raggedleft\slshape\ameta{inserts} placed in
a group} This may be an interesting, useful, and significant feature,
depending on your imagination to use it. One command designed for the
\ameta{inserts} option for an exercise is \cs{ignoreques}. This is
discussed in \textbf{Example~2} below.

\paragraph*{Example~1.} Insert the solution to \textsc{\hyperref[ex:First]{Exercise~\ref*{ex:First}}}: \insExSoln{myIQ}
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,commandchars=!()]
(!sffamily(Insert the solution to !ameta(link removed):)) !textbf(\insExSoln{myIQ})
\end{Verbatim}
The above is the verbatim listing. It's just that simple! However, the
question to the problem also appears! Continue this problem with
\textbf{Example~2}.\eExmpl

\paragraph*{Example~2.} \textsc{\hyperref[ex:First]{Exercise~\ref*{ex:First}}} has its question
enclosed in the \env{cq} environment. This environment passes
the question along with the solution. If we don't want to include the
question, pass a special command \cs{ignoreques} in the optional
\ameta{inserts} argument. The expansion of
\verb~``\insExSoln[\ignoreques]{myIQ}''~ is
``\insExSoln[\ignoreques]{myIQ}''\eExmpl

\def\myFmt{\declCQPre{\emph{\textcolor{blue}{\cqQStr}:}\space}%
\declCQPost{\par\medskip\noindent\emph{\textcolor{blue}{\cqSStr}:}\space\ignorespaces}}

\paragraph*{Example~3.} Again referring to \textsc{\hyperref[ex:First]{Exercise~\ref*{ex:First}}}, the
\env{cq} environment (defined in \pkg{exerquiz} and \pkg{eqexam}) has certain
formatting controls. We can pass some formatting commands through the
\ameta{inserts} argument without affecting other \env{cq} environments in the
document. For example,
\par\medskip\noindent
\insExSoln[\myFmt]{myIQ}
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,commandchars=!(),fontsize=\small]
\newcommand\myFmt{\declCQPre{\emph{\textcolor{blue}{\cqQStr}:}\space}%
  \declCQPost{\par\medskip\noindent
    \emph{\textcolor{blue}{\cqSStr}:}\space\ignorespaces}}
\end{Verbatim}
Verbatim listing:
{\let\leftmargini\parindent
\begin{quote}
\textsf{For example,}\texttt{\cs{par}\string\medskip\string\noindent\textbf{\string\insExSoln[\string\myFmt]\darg{myIQ}}}
\end{quote}}\noindent
Be sure not to introduce any spurious spaces.\eExmpl

\paragraph*{Example~4.} (\textbf{Conditional content}) The \ameta{solution} can have conditional content, which
may be controlled locally by passing the state of a Boolean switch through the \ameta{inserts} argument.
\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\parindent,commandchars=!(),fontsize=\small]
\newif\ifmiswitch \miswitchfalse
...
(!normalfont!sffamily(This code results in ))``!textbf(\insExSoln[\ignoreques\miswitchtrue]{myIQ})''
\end{Verbatim}
This code results in ``\insExSoln[\ignoreques\miswitchtrue]{myIQ}''\eExmpl

\paragraph*{Example~5.} (\textbf{Changing \ameta{sol-out}}) There is a file \texttt{poems.lst} produced by
the demo file \texttt{create-db.tex}; here, we insert one of the verses by
changing the \ameta{sol-out} file.\medskip \bVerb
\begin{minipage}[t]{2in+20pt}
\begin{flushleft}\setlength{\baselineskip}{0pt}\setlength{\leftmargini}{15pt}
\textbf{The Lama} by \textbf{Ogden Nash}
\insExSoln[\declSOLOut{poems.lst}]{The Lama}
\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth-2in-20pt}
Verbatim listing of the poem:\\[3pt]
{\ttfamily\small\string\insExSoln[\textbf{\string\declSOLOut\darg{poems.lst}}]\darg{The Lama}}
\end{minipage}\medskip
\eVerb Refer to demo files \texttt{create-db.tex} and \texttt{use-db.tex}.\eExmpl

\section{Building the solution sets}

We can extract the solution to a problem only if the solution file is fully
built. Generally, the solution sets are fully built when the solutions appear
at the end of the file, but that is not the only situation. The following
list summarizes the options for which the solution files are created in their
entirety.
\begin{itemize}
  \item For the \pkg{exerquiz} package, any option other than \texttt{solutionsafter}.
      This includes the following options: \texttt{nosolutions}, \texttt{noquizsolutions},
      \texttt{vspacewithsolns}, and no solution-related option at all
      (\verb~\usepackage{exerquiz}~). Hidden solutions are not displayed.
  \item For the \pkg{eqexam} package, any option other than
      \texttt{solutionsafter} and \texttt{answerkey}. This includes the
      following options: \texttt{nosolutions},
      \texttt{vspacewithsolns}, and no solution-related option at all
      (\verb~\usepackage{eqexam}~). Hidden solutions are not displayed.
\end{itemize}
You can insert solutions even when the \texttt{answerkey} or
\texttt{solutionsafter} option is in effect. First compile with
\texttt{vspaceiwithsolns},\footnote{This creates fully built \ameta{sol-out}
and \ameta{qsl-out} files.} for example, then place \cs{copySolnsOff} in the
preamble and compile again with the \texttt{answerkey} or
\texttt{solutionsafter} option. The insertions will then appear on the next
compile.
