Summary description: eXercise Sheets IMproved
Announcement text:
- switch to one sty file per package - use LaTeX's new hooks - declare undeclared variables - new exercise setup mechanism which clearly determines the difference between definition, usage, and printing of an exercise; this also solves the problem with added goals in the exercise body in a collection - re-write collection mechanism: * changes the behaviour of \collectexercises but doesn't require external files any more, and more importantly doesn't require inputting files several times for multiple collections * drop \collectexercisestype * new \(de)activatecollection * new options `collect' and `<type>/collect' - small improvements in performance - new parameters `within' and `the-counter' - make `no-files' the default, new option `use-files' - new examples - various small fixes
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/xsim The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xsim/
