Metadata is generated for the whole document and it is +possible to process created forms fully automatically using the SDAPS main +program. +As of now, this package is included in the SDAPS unstable (1.9.0) distribution. + +Features +======== + + * Flexible metadata generation + * Different question types: + - Freeform text + - Multiple Choice Questions + * may contain freeform text fields + (TODO: some people would like a combined checkbox + textfield) + * standalone + * as a list (to be implemented) + * array with questions in rows + * array with questions in columns + - Single Choice Qeustions: + * standalone (to be implemented) + * as a list (to be implemented) + * array with questions in rows + * array with questions in columns + - Range (1-n answers with optionally further choices): + * standalone + * array with questions in rows + * Array layout features (used for questions in arrays): + - Can flow over multiple pages and repeats the header automatically + - Optional document wide alignment of array environments + - Has complex layout features like rotating the headers to safe space + - Ability to exchange rows and columns on the fly + * PDF form generation + * Complex document wide and local setting handling + * Possibility to pre-fill questionnaires directly in LaTeX + (not yet easily usable by end users) + +Documentation +============= + +The most up to date documentation is in the sphinx directory. An online copy +can be found at http://sdaps.org/class-doc.
