The \texttt{uassign} package was designed with the following objectives in mind: \begin{itemize} \item \textit{Simplicity}: \texttt{uassign} package is small and easy to modify \item \textit{Hide environments}: Ability to produce a question sheet (questions only) and a solution sheet (solutions only) or both. This is done by passing the \texttt{hidequestions} or \texttt{hideanswers} option to the package. \item \textit{Flexibility}: The \texttt{uassign} package doesn't create conflicts with other packages, such as \texttt{hyperref} when included. Commands which could cause conflicts with other packages are used only when certain options are passed to the \texttt{uassign} package. \end{itemize}% see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/242036/multiline-code-listings-in-cweb \section{Features} \subsection{Environments} \begin{table}[!htpb] \centering \begin{tabular}{l l l} \hline Environment & Description \\ \hline \texttt{question} & Assignment questions \\ \texttt{solution} & Assignment solutions \\ \texttt{example} & Illustrative examples \\ \texttt{exsolution} & Solution to examples \\ \texttt{definition} & Definitions for terms \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Environments provided by \texttt{uassign}} \end{table} \vspace{10mm} \subsection{Commands} \begin{table}[!htpb] \centering \begin{tabular}{l l l} \hline Command & Description \\ \hline \verb|\ientry| & Bold-faced index entry \\ \hline %\verb|\ebox| & Square box to end solution \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Commands provided by \texttt{uassign}} \end{table} \subsection{Options} \begin{table}[!htpb] \centering \begin{tabular}{l l} \hline Option & Description \\ \hline \verb|hidequestions| & Hide \texttt{question} \\ \verb|hideanswers| & Hide \texttt{solution} \\ \verb|assignheader| & \texttt{fancyhdr} \\ \verb|notesheader| & \texttt{titlesec}, \texttt{fancyhdr} \\ \verb|links| & \texttt{hypersetup} format \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Options provided by \texttt{uassign}} \end{table} \subsection{Packages used} \begin{table}[!htpb] \centering \begin{tabular}{l l} \hline Package(s) & Usage \\ \hline \texttt{ifthen} & Processing options \\ \texttt{hyperref} & Hyperlinks in pdf \\ \texttt{bookmark} & pdf bookmarks \\ \texttt{color} & Color links \\ \texttt{enumerate} & Options for \texttt{enumerate} \\ \texttt{amsmath, amsthm} & Math typesetting \\ \texttt{fancyhdr} & Format top of page header \\ \texttt{titlesec} & Format section, chapter \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Packages used by \texttt{uassign}} \end{table} \section{Demonstration} \subsection{question environment} \begin{verbatim} \begin{question} What is the answer to life? \end{question} \end{verbatim} \hrule \begin{question} What is the answer to life? \end{question} \vspace{3mm} \hrule \subsection{solution environment} \begin{verbatim} \begin{solution} The answer is 42. \end{solution} \end{verbatim} \hrule \begin{solution} The answer is 42. \end{solution} \vspace{3mm} \hrule \subsection{example environment} \begin{verbatim} \begin{example} Explain what facebook is. \end{example} \end{verbatim} \hrule \begin{example} Explain what facebook is. \end{example} \vspace{3mm} \hrule \subsection{exsolution environment} \begin{verbatim} \begin{solution} Facebook is a social media site. \end{solution} \end{verbatim} \hrule \begin{exsolution} Facebook is a social media site. \end{exsolution} \vspace{3mm} \hrule \subsection{definition environment} \begin{verbatim} \begin{definition} The \ientry{mean} is the average value. \end{definition} \end{verbatim} \hrule \begin{definition} The \ientry{mean} is the average value. \end{definition} \vspace{3mm} \hrule \end{document}
