auto-multiple-choice-prepare - prepares working documents from
LaTeX source file
auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s

auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b

The auto-multiple-choice prepare command extracts working
documents from the source file describing the multiple choice questionnaire.
Information to be extracted depends on the --mode argument value. In
any mode, the source filename must be given as an argument.
•with "
--mode s",
auto-multiple-choice prepare makes the subject file (answer sheet to be
printed and given to the students), the correction (single corrected answer
sheet) and the positions file (file containing information about the positions
of the boxes on the pages). The following arguments can be used:
--out-sujet subject.pdf
sets the subject file to build.
--out-corrige corrected.pdf
sets the correction to build.
--out-calage calage.xy
sets the positions file to build.
--prefix directory
this directory is only necessary if one or more of the
three previous options are not used: default values are then
directory/sujet.pdf, directory/corrige.pdf and
directory/calage.xy.
•with "--mode b",
auto-multiple-choice prepare extracts scoring data from the source
file. In this mode, the --data argument must be used (see below).
The following optional arguments can be used in any mode:
--with latex-engine
gives the LaTeX engine (command) to be used.
latex-engine can be pdflatex or xelatex for

--filtered-source mcq-latex-file

specified filter. If omitted, a filename derived from mcq-source-file
adding _filtered.tex is used.

number given in the LaTeX source file (first argument of the \onecopy
command).
