\title{The \exsh Package}
\author{Sebastian Kuhnert\and Frank Fuhlbrück}
\date{Version 0.17, \printdateTeX{2024/04/23}}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

The \exsh package provides a way to typeset exercise sheets as used in university courses and school classes. It evolved from a set of macros an environments that were finally combined into this package. Starting from Version \vers{0.7}, there was an alternative variant designed for use with the beamer class, which is integrated into the main package since version \vers{0.11}. Not all combinations of options have been tested with the beamer variant. From version \vers{0.16} on, there is an embedded mode that allows using exercise in lecture notes etc. without requiring page breaks. Since the package includes a loading mechanism for exercises in external files, the same exercises can be reused in different contexts.

 \item The \texttt{exercise} package offers similar functionality, though the
  concept is a bit different: That package provides explicit commands for
  sub-exercises while \exsh (in its standard setting)
  relies on other means like the \texttt{enumerate}
  environment for this. An advantage of the \texttt{exercise} package is that
  answers can be delayed. On the other hand \exsh's environment based user
  interface is a bit cleaner and you have to care less about package internals.
  \item The \texttt{xsim} (and its predecessor \texttt{exsheets}) package also offers a similar set of features for the average user. It also has a mechanism for hiding certain exercises and solutions that works a bit differently than the mechanism of
  this package. There is (to my knowledge) no explicit beamer support.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Recommended Additional Packages}
\begin{itemize}
 \item The use of \texttt{hyperref} is encouraged. Please use the options
  \texttt{pdfusetitle}, \texttt{plainpages=false} and \texttt{pdfpagelabels} for
  optimal results.
 \item If the \texttt{babel} package is loaded, the appropriate
  \option{language=\param{lang}}-option is automatically derived and can be
  omitted.
 \item The use of \texttt{enumitem} or \texttt{paralist} is recommended. Top
  level enumerating lists are then modified to have the form (a), (b), \dots{},
  which is useful in exercise definitions (you can override this).
 \item If the \texttt{varioref} package is used, appropriate label formats are
  installed for exercises and sub-exercises.
 \item If the \texttt{xcolor} package is loaded, to-do markers generated with
  \lstinline|\TODO| are printed in red.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Packages Loaded by \exsh}
\begin{itemize}
 \item \texttt{etoolbox} (at least version
  1.7)
 \item \texttt{scrlfile} (part of \KOMAScript{})
 \item \texttt{pgfkeys} (part of PGF 2.0)
 \item \texttt{ifthen}
 \item \texttt{amsmath} (for \lstinline|\numberwithin|)
 \item \texttt{iflualatex}
 \item \texttt{refcount} (for \lstinline|\getrefnumber|)
\end{itemize}


\section{Basic Usage}

\subsection{Package Loading}
The beamer variant is integrated now and automatically activated
if the current document class is beamer.

\begin{lstlisting}
\usepackage(*\maybe{[\param{options}]}*){exercisesheets}
\end{lstlisting}

The following options are available:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{only}=\mand{\param{list of ranges}}}] When given, only the mentioned
  sheets will be included in the output. This is useful to speed up compilation
  times for big documents. Some efforts are made that sheet and exercise
  numbering remain consistent and references to exercises and enumerated lists
  on skipped sheets still work as expected. References to other objects are
  broken though (they currently point to the exercise or item containing them).
  The \param{list of ranges} is a comma separated list of sheet numbers and
  sheet ranges. If a comma is included in the range, it has to be protected with
  a pair of braces. The special sheet \enquote{number} \texttt{last} stands for
  the last sheet in the document (this may require an additional \LaTeX{} run).
  Examples:
  \begin{description}
   \optitem[{\option{only}=3}] Only include the 3rd sheet of the document.
   \optitem[{\option{only}=\{1,3,5,7\}}] Only include the sheets 1, 3, 5 and 7.
   \optitem[{\option{only}=last}] Only include the last sheet of the document.
   \optitem[{\option{only}=\{3-5,8-last\}}] Exclude the sheets 1, 2, 6 and 7.
   \optitem[{\option{only}=\{-2,5-\}}] Exclude the sheets 3 and 4.
  \end{description}
 \optitem[{\option{all}}] Typeset all sheets (equivalent to \option{only=-}). This is
  the default.
 \optitem[{\option{solutions\maybe{=\param{true/false/oral/nonoral/sample oral/sample nonoral/sample all}}}}] By default,
  solutions (provided in the \texttt{solution} environment) are not included in
  the output. By providing the option \option{solutions=true} (or just
  \option{solutions}) this can be changed. Choosing \option{solutions=oral}
  shows only solutions for exercises marked \option{oral} (useful for printouts
  taken to class). Choosing \option{solutions=nonoral} shows only solutions for
  exercises that are not marked \option{oral} (useful for correcting).
  If you want to provided sample solutions for your students but only for some
  of your exercises you can use the \texttt{sample} key to select those
  exercises along with any options starting with sample here.
  Note that non-sample exercises are skipped completely (not only their solutions) if you
  choose an option starting with sample.
 \optitem[{\option{gradingguides\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}}]
  Within \texttt{gradingguide} environments (usually used inside \texttt{solution}) you can
  specify e.g. the amount of points to assign for certain solutions. This option
  controls whether or not to include this guides in the output (e.g. solutions for
  correcting contain them, but sample solutions for students don't).
 \optitem[{\option{solutionsby}=\mand{\param{name/names}}}] Use this to give the authors of the
  solutions. They are credited at the beginning of each sheet, if the solutions
  are included in the output.
 \optitem[{\option{language}=\mand{\param{lang}}}] Set the language of the sheet and
  exercise heads to \param{lang}. If the \texttt{babel} package is loaded this
  is not necessary, as the main document language will be automatically
  detected. Currently \option{english}, \option{german} and \option{ngerman} are
  supported. Other translations are welcome: Please contact the author.
 \optitem[{\option{pointsfloatright}}] Use an alternative mechanism to place points for Sub-Exercises.
  If this option is used, the points label for a Sub-Exercise is placed at the (right) end of the current line.
  It is especially useful if used in a context like \texttt{$\backslash$item$\backslash$points$\{3\}$}.
  This option exploits (and partially breaks) RTL-Support.
 \optitem[{\option{exercisespath}}] Set the (relative) path of the
  directory containing exercises to be included via
  \lstinline|\includeexercise|.
 \optitem[{\option{patchenumerate}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}] Sets
  enumerate item labels for the first four levels, starting with
  a), b) etc. for the top-level (sub-exercises). Depending on other
  loaded packages (\lstinline|enumitem|, \lstinline|paralist|) the mechanism
  slightly differs. This option is active by default.
 \optitem[{\option{settitle}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}] If set to true
  (which is the default),
  the document \lstinline|\title| will be automatically set to the value
  of \option{strings/sheets} and the value of \option{strings/solutions} will be
  appended if \option{solutions} is not \lstinline|false|.
 \optitem[{\option{patchpagenumbers}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}] If true
  (default), pages will be numbered within sheets and page numbers
  get a prefix of the form ``{\codestyle\param{sheet number}-}''.
 \optitem[{\option{usestartsection}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}] If true
  (default), the command \lstinline|\@startsection| is used to create
  the header of any exercise as a section, which (among other
  things) adds an entry to the TOC (if existent) at level 1
  (usually corresponding to \lstinline|\section|).
 \optitem[{\option{embedded}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}] Default: false.
  Embedded mode allows for exercise ``sheets'' which do not
  interfere with a surrounding document. More explicitly, it does
  not interfere with \lstinline|secnumdepth|, defines special counters
  \lstinline|exshsheet| and \lstinline|exshexercise| to use them for
  \option{sheet counter} and \option{exercise counter},
  respectively and sets all of \option{patchenumerate},
  \option{settitle}, \option{patchpagenumbers} and
  \option{usestartsection} to \lstinline|false|.
  An internally defined macro which basically does no extra
  formatting or adding anything to the TOC is used as
  \option{sheet sectioning cmd} instead of the usual \lstinline|\part|.
  Finally,
  the \option{sheet start page action} and the
  \option{sheet end page action} are both set to \lstinline|\relax|.
  If you want to override any of this, do it after setting
  \option{embedded} to \lstinline|true|.
 \item{\option{minskips\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}} Default: false.
  If true, the values of
  \option{above sheet title skip},
  \option{below sheet header skip},
  \option{above first exercise skip} and
  \option{below exercise title skip} are all set to 0pt.
 \optitem[{\option{showtodos} / \option{hidetodos}}]
  \lstinline|\TODO| markers
  are hidden by default, this option switches their behavior. This
  option is usually set within \lstinline|\ifsamplesolutions| or
  similar.
 \optitem[{\option{beamercompatibility}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}]
  This option (which only is effective in the non-beamer version)
  defines several beamer macros with as trivial
  effects as possible, e.g., \lstinline|\pause| becomes \lstinline|\relax|
  and overlay specifications are mostly ignored. Be careful to use
  this option after loading \lstinline|enumitem| etc. as the enumerate
  and itemize environment are defined to swallow overlay
  specifications without effect, this also holds for
  \lstinline|\item<1->|. If you load \lstinline|exercisesheets| before them
  use \lstinline|\exshset| afterwards.
  The current list of redefinitions is as
  follows:
\begin{lstlisting}
  \let\pause\relax
  \def\frame{}
  \renewcommand{\frame}[1][]{}
  \let\endframe\relax
  \def\onslide<##1>{}
  \def\only<##1>##2{##2}
  \def\uncover<##1>##2{##2}
  \def\visible<##1>##2{##2}
  \def\invisible<##1>##2{##2}
  \long\def\alt<##1>##2##3{##2}
  \long\def\temporal<##1>##2##3##4{##3}
  \let\exsh@origitem\item
  \def\exsh@ovrlitem<##1>{\exsh@origitem}
  \def\item{\@ifnextchar<\exsh@ovrlitem\exsh@origitem}
  \let\exsh@origitemize\itemize
  \def\exsh@ovrlitemize[##1]{\exsh@origitemize}
  \def\itemize{\@ifnextchar[\exsh@ovrlitemize\exsh@origitemize}
  \let\exsh@origenumerate\enumerate
  \def\exsh@ovrlenumerate[##1]{\exsh@origenumerate}
  \def\enumerate{%
    \@ifnextchar[\exsh@ovrlenumerate\exsh@origenumerate}
\end{lstlisting}

\optitem[{\option{filenameasexercisename}\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}]
This option (set to false by default) causes
\lstinline|\includeexercise| to
set the name of an exercise as the filename (without extension).
This has two purposes: If you have nice file names you can
automatically name the exercise. On the other hand this is helpful
during exercise sheet composition because it shows the name of
the corresponding file in the compiled file.
\end{description}

\subsection{Supplying Meta-Data}

The following commands are enhanced (or provided) to set the options controlling
the sheet headers (see Section~\ref{sec:sheet}):
\begin{lstlisting}
\subject{(*\param{subject}*)}
\author{(*\param{author}*)}
\date{(*\param{semester}*)}
\end{lstlisting}

If one of these commands is omitted (and the corresponding option is not used
either), a warning is issued.

Please do not include a \lstinline|\title| in your document, as \exsh will
automatically generate an appropriate one (this may require an additional
\LaTeX{} run). If you want to set the title yourself, set the
option \option{settitle} to \lstinline|false|.

All this information is included in the PDF meta-data if the \texttt{hyperref}
package is loaded with the option \texttt{pdfusetitle}.

There is also a related option:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{exauthor}=\mand{\param{list of names}}}] If you want to use the
 \lstinline|\author| macro for the general author of a course but
 there are different authors for individual exercises or all
 exercises in general, you can set this key. Currently only
 exercisesheets-baemer uses this for the footline, while
 \option{author} is used for the headline.
\end{description}

\subsection{Defining Exercise Sheets}
\label{sec:sheet}
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{sheet}(*\maybe{[\param{options}]}*)
  (*\param{sheet contents}*)
\end{sheet}
\end{lstlisting}

Insert a sheet into the document. This environment can be repeated to combine
several sheets in a single \LaTeX{} file. For each sheet, a new page is started
and an appropriate header is generated. The \param{sheet contents} can be
anything but will usually consist of several \texttt{exercise} environments (see
Section~\ref{sec:exercises-solutions}).

The following \param{options} are supported:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{date}=\mand{\param{date}}}] Set the date the sheet was/will be issued. This
  information is included in the sheet header. By default, this information is
  omitted. See also the \option{semester} option.
 \optitem[{\option{note}=\mand{\param{note}}}] Include \param{note} in the sheet header.
  Useful to inform students when the sheet is due. If you want a note consisting
  of more than one line split at a particular position, use
  \lstinline|\protect\linebreak|.
 \optitem[{\option{title}=\mand{\param{title}}}]
  Directly set the sheet title. When this option is used, different
  page numbering conventions are used. This is useful to
  typeset exams (combined with the next option).
 \optitem[{\option{number within sheet\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}}]
  Deviate from the usual numbering theme and
  restart from one for exercises on the sheet. The previous
  counter value is restored after the sheet, so you can insert
  a special sheet.
 \optitem[{\option{author}=\mand{\param{author}}}] Set the author included in the sheet
  head. By default, the value passed to \lstinline|\author| is used.
 \optitem[{\option{exauthor}=\mand{\param{exauthor}}}] Only used by the beamer
 variant, see above.
 \optitem[{\option{subject}=\mand{\param{subject}}}] Set the subject included in the sheet
  head. By default, the value passed to \lstinline|\subject| is used.
 \optitem[{\option{semester}=\mand{\param{semester}}}] Set the semester included in the
  sheet head. By default, the value passed to \lstinline|\date| is used.
 \optitem[{\option{beamerwithheadline\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}}] Controls whether a headline with author, subject etc. is shown on beamer slides, similar to the regular sheets. This options is off by default as headlines (and footers) take a considerable amount
 off space. If you specify the embedded option the current default headers and footers will be used if you omit this option. Otherwise omitting it will imply an empty headline.
 \optitem[{\option{beamerwithfootline\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}}]
 The same for the footer.
 \optitem[{\option{beameruseblocks\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}}]
 Controls whether the exercise title is shown inside a
 beamer block (\param{true}) or a simple colorbox
 (\param{false}, the default). Depending on your style a
 block might look fancier, but it usually consume more space.
\end{description}


\subsection{Defining Exercises and Solutions}
\label{sec:exercises-solutions}
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{exercise}(*\maybe{[\param{options}]}*)
  (*\param{exercise text}*)
  \begin{solution}(*\maybe{[\param{solution options}]}*)
    (*\param{solution text}*)
  \end{solution}
  \begin{beamersolution}(*\maybe{[\param{solution options}]}*)
    (*\param{solution text}*)
  \end{beamersolution}
\end{exercise}
\end{lstlisting}

This inserts an exercise into the current document. All
\lstinline|beamersolution|s are ignored, if the
\exsh package with any class but beamer, but using beamer
\exsh also processes
normal solutions by default (set option \option{beamersolution}
to turn this off).

The following options are
supported:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{name}=\mand{\param{text}}}] Use \param{text} as the name of the exercise.
  Useful for exercises that prove a famous theorem.
 \optitem[{\option{firstline}=\mand{\param{text}}}] Save some space by text \param{text}
  behind the exercise title.
 \optitem[{\option{savetasks\maybe{=\param{true/false}}}}] Saves the main task and each sub task
  for later use with \lstinline|\restatetask[|%
  \param{which}], where \param{which} is either \lstinline|main|
  (default) or the number of a sub task.
 \optitem[{\option{points}=\mand{\param{number/oral/sum}}}] Assign this
  exercise \param{number} points. By default, exercises are
  unlabelled. \param{oral} works the same way as the option
  \option{oral}. The value \param{sum} displays the sum of all
  occurrences of \lstinline|\points| within the exercise: Ordinary and
  bonus points are treated separately. If there are only bonus
  points, the option \option{bonus} is automatically triggered. To
  undo this, either delete the \filename{.aux} file or explicitly use
  \lstinline|\points[bonus=false]{\param{number}}| for at least one
  subexercise. Points can be summed up also during a single pass
  by using the Lua interface.
 \optitem[{\option{oral}}] Label this exercise as \emph{oral}. This supersedes and is
  superseded by the option \option{points}.
 \optitem[{\option{pointsinfo}=\mand{\param{text}}}] Supply \param{text} as additional
  information to be displayed after the points.
 \optitem[{\option{optional}}] Shortcut for \option{pointsinfo=optional} with
  automatic translation and abbreviation (if requested).
 \optitem[{\option{bonus}}] Change \enquote{points} to \enquote{bonus points} (with
  automatic translation and abbreviation).
  \optitem[{\option{abbrev}}] Use abbreviated labels.
 \optitem[{\option{exercisemark}=\mand{\param{symbol}}}] Mark the exercise
  with \param{symbol} in the left margin.
 \optitem[{\option{difficult}}] Shortcut for \option{exercisemark=*}.
 \optitem[{\option{solutions\maybe{=\param{true/false/oral/nonoral/...}}}}] Use this to override the
  document (or sheet) default.
 \optitem[{\option{sample}}] Include this exercise (and its solution) in while compiling
 sample solutions.
 \optitem[{\option{beamersolution}}] For beamer variant only. If this option
 is set all normal solutions will not be included and only
 \lstinline|beamersolution|s are typeset.
 \optitem[{\option{framed}}] For beamer variant only, simply ignored
 elsewhere. If this option
 is set for a normal solution, its content will be put on one or
 more frames. Use \lstinline|\newframe| to start a new frame. This
 option is especially helpful if you provide your own definitions
 of \lstinline|\only| etc. and/or use the \option{beamercompatibility}.
 for non-beamer compilation. \lstinline|\newframe|
 is already defined as \lstinline|\relax| in  non-beamer \exsh,
 even without invoking \option{beamercompatibility}.
 \optitem[{\option{fragile}}] For beamer variant only and only
 used combined with framed, simply ignored elsewhere. Frames are
 declared as \texttt{fragile} und parsing of \lstinline|\newframe|
 etc. is done via Lua\LaTeX. Thus Lua\LaTeX is required
 (and this requires font setup via fontspec etc.), but
 you do not have to use any Lua code yourself. Mostly useful
 for listings and other verbatim stuff within solutions.
\end{description}

Solutions are only typeset, if the \option{solutions} option is in effect. There
can be multiple solution environments within a single exercise environment; this
is useful if the exercise consists of several sub-exercises. Sub-exercises can
simply be defined with an \texttt{enumerate} or \texttt{compactenum}
environment.

\section{Utilities}

\subsection{Loading Excercises From Files}
\begin{lstlisting}
\includeexercise(*\param{file name}*)
\includeexercise*(*\param{file name}*)
\end{lstlisting}

Both load the exercise from exercisespath/\param{file name}. Note
that the exercise environment must be contained in the file. The
starred version is helpful for faster skipping of unused exercises.
In this case, the file is not opened to search for labels. Whenever
the exercise is not skipped and you use the starred version and also
use labels within the exercise file, \exsh outputs an error. This is
done to ensure that references are not overlooked when the exercise
is actually skipped later.

\subsection{Including Hints}

\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{hint}(*\maybe{[\param{options}]}*)
  (*\param{hint text}*)
\end{hint}
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{hint*}(*\maybe{[\param{options}]}*)
  (*\param{hint text}*)
\end{hint*}
\end{lstlisting}

These environments include hints in the exercise definition. The first form
starts a new paragraph, the second one puts the hint in parenthesis.

\subsection{TODO Markers}

You can use the following to include a red TODO marker in your document. This is
useful to mark places where work is still in progress. A warning is issued at
each place. TODO markers can also contain an optional description
of the task that needs to be done. If you switch off displaying
TODO markers (s.a.) the warning will be issued nevertheless.

\begin{lstlisting}
\TODO[what needs to be done]
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Annotating Points for Sub-Exercises}
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{exercise}[(*\option{points}*)=sum]%sum produces 4+6
  \begin{enumerate}
   \item Part 1 \points{oral}
   \item Part 2 \points[optional]{oral}
   \item Part 3 \points{4}
   \item Part 4 \points[bonus]{6}
  \end{enumerate}
  Sub-Exercises within continuous text can be annotated like this \points[inplace]{3} without adding space.
\end{exercise}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Explicitly Stating Tasks}
In principle, \exsh aims to be very lightweight and there is not
much mandatory structure inside exercises. Furthermore, the
\lstinline|enumi| counter is used for sub-exercise. There are, however,
situations where we want more explicit structure, for instance to
have special font for the main task or the subtasks or to reuse
some of the tasks later. This is especially handy if using the
beamer variant where the original task and a part of the solution might be on different slides. In the future it might be possible to
use other counters then \lstinline|enumi|, which is also only possible
if sub-exercises are not simply \lstinline|\item|s in
\lstinline|enumerate|. If you want to reuse the main or any subtasks
you may use \lstinline|\restatetask| or \lstinline|\restatetaskbeamer|
(this shows noting if not compiled with beamer). There is also
a starred version (\lstinline|\restatetask*| /
\lstinline|\restatetaskbeamer*|) for each of them, which adds a newline.
All four have an optional argument that allows to restate
a subtask instead of the main task. This argument is either
\lstinline|main|, a number of a \textbf{previous} subtask or
\lstinline|cur| for the current subtask. Using \option{headerrestate}
for your solution will automatically restate the current
task within the beamer solution header (does noting without
beamer).



\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{exercise}[(*\option{points}*)=oral]
  \begin{maintask}
    A and B are true.
  \end{maintask}
  \begin{subtasks}
    \subtask{A is true}
      \begin{solution}[framed]
        We want to show: \restatetask %A and B are true.
        \newframe
        Out first step is to show: \restatetask[cur] %A is true
      \end{solution}
    \subtask{If A is true, B is true.}
      \begin{solution}[framed]
        Obvious (i.e.: homework).
      \end{solution}
    \subtask{B is true}
      \begin{solution}[framed]
        We already know: \restatetask[1] and
        \restatetask[2], therefore B is also true.
      \end{solution}
  \end{subtasks}
\end{exercise}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Labels and References within an Exercise}
While the global reference labels set via varioref (if loaded)
are nice for references to subexercises far away, always mentioning
the exercise number seems superfluous. Furthermore, for usage in indices etc. you might want to use the arabic representation instead. This is what the commands \lstinline|\subexnref| and
\lstinline|\subexlref| are designed for. However, both of them still
require an ordinary label, which is not allowed in
exercises loaded with \lstinline|\loadexercise*|.
For this purpose \lstinline|\inexlabel| can be used which is just a
normal label that is not redefined to produce an error.
Furthermore, we define a counter \lstinline|subex| (which is
currently just an alias for enumi, but this might change). You can
use this counter (alias) with common commands like
\lstinline|\arabic| or \lstinline|\alph|.

\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{exercise}
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item \inexlabel{subex:xisseven} Let $x_{\thesubex}=7$.
    \item Compute $x_{\subexnref{subex:xisseven}}+3$.
    \begin{solution}
      From \subexlref{subex:xisseven} %(a)
      we know that $x_{\subexnref{subex:xisseven}}$ is $7$ and
      thus the sum is $10$.
    \end{solution}
  \end{enumerate}
\end{exercise}
\end{lstlisting}



\section{Advanced Usage}

\subsection{Setting Options}

Options can be given at different places.
\begin{enumerate}
 \item As local options to one of the environments.
 \item As package options: This is convenient for global options but suffers
  from shortcomings in way \LaTeX{} processes options: Macros are expanded and
  spaces are stripped.
 \item By the independent \lstinline|\exshset| command. This is especially useful in
  the preamble to set options that would be garbled by the \LaTeX{} option
  handling routine. It also allows to change an option for the rest of the
  current scope.
\end{enumerate}

Example: Change the solution authors of the following sheets:
\begin{lstlisting}
(*\param{some sheets}*)
\exshset{solutionsby=(*\param{other authors}*)}
(*\param{more sheets}*)
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Changing Strings}

For some languages, predefined sets of strings are provided and automatically
activated. If your language is not supported or if you want to change (some of)
the used strings, you can do so with the following options:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{strings/sheet}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/sheets}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/solutions}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/solutionsby}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/exercise}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/solution}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/hint}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/oral}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/oral abbrev}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/point}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/points}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/points abbrev}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/bonus point}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/bonus points}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/bonus points abbrev}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/optional}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
 \optitem[{\option{strings/optional abbrev}=\mand{\param{string}}}]
\end{description}

Example: Give an introduction that should only be included in the version with
solutions:

\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{solution}[(*\option{strings/solution}*)=Introduction]
  (*\param{introduction text}*)
\end{solution}
\end{lstlisting}


\subsection{Changing Fonts}

The package \exsh comes with its own way to change the used fonts. Each font can
be changed in the following way:
\begin{lstlisting}
\exshset{(*\param{font element}=\param{font specification}*)}
\end{lstlisting}
The available \param{font element}s are listed below together with their default
values:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{sheet header font}}] The basic font for subject, author, semester,
  date, note and solution authors in the sheet headers.\\

\subsection{Controlling the Spacing, Page Handling and Separations between Elements}

The following options allow fine-tuning of the spacing:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{below slide headline skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance between
 haedline (if present) and slide content. Only used by beamer
 variant, ignored elsewhere.\\
  Default: \texttt{0mm}
 \optitem[{\option{above sheet title skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance between
  author/date and sheet title.\\
  Default: \texttt{4ex}
 \optitem[{\option{above sheet note skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance above the
  sheet note.\\
  Default: \texttt{.7ex}
 \optitem[{\option{above solutionsby skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance above the
  solution author.\\
  Default: \texttt{1ex}
 \optitem[{\option{below sheet header skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance below the
  sheet header.\\
  Default: \texttt{4ex plus 1ex minus .5ex}
 \optitem[{\option{above exercise skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance above
  exercises.\\
  Default: \texttt{3ex plus 1ex minus .5ex}
 \optitem[{\option{below exercise title skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance below
  exercise titles.\\
  Default: \texttt{\textbackslash parskip}
 \optitem[{\option{above solution skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance above
  solutions.\\
  Default: \texttt{1ex}
 \optitem[{\option{above hint skip}=\mand{\param{dimen}}}] The distance above hints.\\
  Default: \texttt{1ex}
\end{description}

The following two options control the page handling at the beginning and
at the end of each sheet:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{sheet start page action}=\mand{\param{macro}}}] Executed at the beginning
  of each sheet.\\
  Default: \lstinline|\clearpage|
 \optitem[{\option{sheet end page action}=\mand{\param{macro}}}] Executed at the end
  of each sheet.\\
  Default: \lstinline|\clearpage|
\end{description}

The following option controls what follows after the string
\option{strings/solution} within a solution header. Using this, you can disable a solution header completely or, for instance, add
a horizontal bar below each solution title.
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{solution title separator}=\mand{\param{content}}}] Inserted directly after \option{strings/solution} in a solution title:\\
  Default: \lstinline|:\par|
\end{description}

\subsection{Controlling the Sectioning (beta)}

By default, exercises are sections and sheets are parts. They use
the respective counters and commands. This is impractical, if you
want to include exercise ``sheets'' as, e.g., a subsection within
a section of a book or article. While the page handling options
already allow to dismiss page breaks, sectioning commands might
still break your layout or structure. Since version \vers{0.15} you
can use your own counters and commands to start sheets and
(to a certain degree) exercises. Exercises are currently still
started by \lstinline|\@startsection| with the counter set to
\option{exercise counter}, but the level set to 1 (e.g. section).
This will likely change with one of the next versions, but needs
some testing. Thus, if you use any of these options, watch for
undesired consequences and report them via gitlab if possible.

\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{sheet sectioning cmd}=\mand{\param{macro}}}] This macro is
 called only in one place in the following way:
 \lstinline|\macro[short title]{long title}|, so it
 must take one argument in [brackets] and one normal argument.\\
  Default: \lstinline|\part|
 \optitem[{\option{sheet counter}=\mand{\param{counter}}}] This counter will be
 incremented wit every sheet. There was always an internal counter
 \lstinline|sheetid| used to distinguish sheets for hyperref even if
 \lstinline|part|s value changed. Do not use this counter here, as it will have strange effects (incremented twice).\\
  Default: \lstinline|part|
 \optitem[{\option{exercise counter}=\mand{\param{counter}}}] This counter will
 be incremented wit every exercise (usually within each sheet).
  Default: \lstinline|section|
\end{description}

\subsection{Special Code for Solutions}
\begin{lstlisting}
\ifsolutions{(*\param{if true}*)}{(*\param{if false}*)}
\iforalsolutions{(*\param{if true}*)}{(*\param{if false}*)}
\ifnonoralsolutions{(*\param{if true}*)}{(*\param{if false}*)}
\ifsamplesolutions{(*\param{if true}*)}{(*\param{if false}*)}
\end{lstlisting}

There are also special options for conditionals to be used in the arguments of
the environments defined by this package:
\begin{description}
 \item[\option{ifsolutions=\{\param{options if true}\}\{\param{options if
      false}\}}] Execute \param{options if true} if solutions are included in
  the current document, \param{options if false} otherwise.
 \item[\option{iforalsolutions=\{\param{options if true}\}\{\param{options if
      false}\}}] Execute \param{options if true} if solutions for oral exercises
  are included in the current document, \param{options if false} otherwise.
 \item[\option{ifnonoralsolutions=\{\param{options if true}\}\{\param{options if
      false}\}}] Execute \param{options if true} if solutions for non-oral
  exercises are included in the current document, \param{options if false}
  otherwise.
 \item[\option{ifsamplesolutions=\{\param{options if true}\}\{\param{options if
      false}\}}] Execute \param{options if true} if sample solutions for marked
  exercises are included in the current document, \param{options if false}
  otherwise.
\end{description}

Example 1: Only include points for sub-exercises when solutions are typeset:
\begin{lstlisting}
\ifsolutions{}{\renewcommand{\points}[2][]{}}
\end{lstlisting}

Example 2: Modify the sheet header spacing in the non-solution version:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{sheet}[(*\option{ifsolutions}*)={}{(*\option{above title skip}*)=2ex}]% usually 4ex
  \dots
\end{sheet}
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Using Hooks}
There are several hooks used by \exsh:
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{every sheet}}] This is used at the beginning of every sheet.
 \optitem[{\option{every exercise}}] This is used at the beginning of every exercise.
 \optitem[{\option{every solution}}] This is used at the beginning of every solution.
 \optitem[{\option{every hint}}] This is used at the beginning of every hint.
\end{description}

Hooks can be used to influence the behaviour of the respective environments.
Users of \texttt{tikz} should be familiar with the concept.

\subsection{Control Skipping of Custom Macros in Skipped Exercises}
\begin{description}
 \optitem[{\option{custom skip macro}=\mand{\param{macro}}}]
\end{description}

If an exercise is not printed, some macros like \lstinline|\label{}|
are processed nevertheless. However, if you define your own macro
using one of these, then this macro will be completely ignored
if the exercise containing it is skipped. This option allows to
define a custom handler for your macros. The most common use
checks for your custom macros with
nested \lstinline|\ifstrequal|s and then either
executes a custom skipper, replaces your macro with
the standard version or uses \lstinline|\expandafter| to
deliver the expanded version of your macro to
\lstinline|\exshskipcontinue|.

Example:
\begin{lstlisting}
\def\mylabel#1{...}
\def\myitem{...}
\def\myitemtwo{...}
\def\skipmylabel#1{...\exshskipcontinue}
\long\def\customskip#1{
  \ifstrequal{#1}{\mylabel}
    {\skipmylabel}
    {\ifstrequal{#1}{\myitem}
      {\exshskipcontinue\item}
      {\ifstrequal{#1}{\myitemtwo}
        {\expandafter\exshskipcontinue\myitemtwo}
        {\exshskipcontinue}
      }
    }
}
\exshset{custom skip macro={\customskip}}
\end{lstlisting}

\section{The Lua Interface}
\label{sec:lua}

Since version \vers{0.11} there is a Lua interface for the exercise
environment. This interface will offer roughly the same features.
Its main purpose will be allowing to reorder sub-exercises more
easily and to offer more dynamic options for the display of
solutions (one combined solution or single after each sub-%
exercise). %TODO finish

\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{Lexercise}
  --use [[]] if you need \ or escape it in "": "\\"
  firstline = [[Assume $\pi=4$.]],
  points=10,
  name="Pragmatic",
  options=[[main task font={\itshape}]],
  task  = [[
    This is the main task specified via the Lua
    interface.
  ]],
  solution=[[
    This is a solution for the main task.
  ]],
\end{Lexercise}
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Usage Tips}
\label{sec:usage-tips}

\subsection{Seperate Solution File}
\label{sec:seper-solut-file}

If you do not want to temporarily comment out the \option{solutions} option in
your main file, say \texttt{exercises.tex}, you can create an additional file
\texttt{solutions.tex} with the following contents:
\begin{lstlisting}
\PassOptionsToPackage{solutions}{exercisesheets}
\input{exercises.tex}
\end{lstlisting}
If you leave out the \option{solutions} option in you main file, running
\texttt{pdflatex exercises.tex} will create \texttt{exercises.pdf} without
solutions and \texttt{pdflatex solutions.tex} will create \texttt{solutions.pdf}
with solutions.

This also works well in combination with a makefile that generates
\texttt{solutions.tex} as a temporary file.

\subsection{Compatibilty with make4ht and tex4ebook}
Since version \vers{0.15} this package can be used with make4ht and tex4ebook in non-beamer mode. Some code for the sheet and exercise header already provides a similar alignment as when producing PDF files. If your goal is an exercise (or solution) document within a single HTML file that looks as similar to the PDF as possible, consider \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/605478/}, \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/662445} and \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/630992}.

\section{Changelog}
\label{sec:changelog}

\begin{itemize}
    \versitem[0.17:]  2024-04-23
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Make embedded mode work better with beamer. This
        includes not overriding headlines and footlines and
        incrementing the frame counter for non-frames.
        \item issue an explicit warning if \string\subtask is outside of a subtasks environment
        \item clearify documentation and use consistent styling
        \item additional example for embedding exercises
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.16:]  2024-03-07
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Embedded mode and most of the additional options it
        automatically sets.
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.15.1:]  2023-12-14
      \begin{itemize}
        \item bugfix: beamer support was broken in \vers{0.15} due to
        a missing macro.
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.15:]  2023-11-30
      \begin{itemize}
        \item new option \option{solution title separator}
        (initially set to\lstinline|:\par|). Among other things, this
        allows for solutions without any caption or header by
        setting \option{solution title separator},~
        \option{solution title font} as well as
        \option{strings/solution} to \lstinline|\relax|.
        \item initial support for \binary{make4ht} and
        \binary{tex4ebook} by avoiding certain behavior when these
        modes are used. Note that both are incompatible with beamer
        mode.
        \item initial decoupling of exercise and sheet from
        sections and parts using the new options (defaults in
        parenthesis) \option{sheet sectioning cmd} (\lstinline|\part|),
        \option{sheet counter} (\lstinline|part|) and
        \option{exercise counter} (\lstinline|section|).
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.14:]  2023-02-06
      \begin{itemize}
        \item new option \option{headerrestate} to restate
        the current (if in subexercise) or main task within
        a solutions header
        \item bugfix: \lstinline|\restatetask| etc. give meaningful error if \option{savetasks} is not set.
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.13.1:]  2022-11-22
      \begin{itemize}
        \item bugfix: \lstinline|\detokenize| filenames when
          \option{filenameasexercisename} is active as otherwise,
          e.g., underscores would not be allowed in filenames.
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.12.2:]  2022-10-20
    \versitem[0.13:]  2022-11-07
      \begin{itemize}
        \item bugfix: \lstinline|\begingroup| and \lstinline|\endgroup|
          within \lstinline|\subtask| now contain everything up to the
          next \lstinline|\subtask|.
        \item \lstinline|\restatetask| has now a starred version that
          adds a newline and beamer versions for both the
          regular and the starred version. Furthermore, there
          is an argument \option{cur} to restate the current
          subtask (the one just given before). This is only
          defined within the aforementioned group, i.e.,
          throws an error after \lstinline|\end{subtasks}|.
      \end{itemize}
    \versitem[0.12.2:]  2022-10-20
      \begin{itemize}
        \item bugfix: \luadisp{dofile} with
        \luadisp{kpse.find\_file}
        \item docs: document option \option{fragile}
      \end{itemize}
  \versitem[0.12.1:]  2022-10-19
      \begin{itemize}
        \item bugfix for \lstinline|\begin{enumerate}[<+->]|
      \end{itemize}
  \versitem[0.12:]  2022-09-02
      \begin{itemize}
        \item new option \option{beamerwithfootline}
      \end{itemize}
  \versitem[0.11:]  2022-02-11
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Local references and the subex counter
        \item Lua interface (not documented yet, see example and example file)
        \item Framed solutions can now be fragile, however this
        also requires Lua\LaTeX (but not using the Lua Interface).
        \item beamer version is now included (no separate package)
        \item some bug fixes
      \end{itemize}
