Hello,
Sorry, I sent this message to the list without a subject earlier today.
I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's
asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006.
I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a
cut-down version:
\setupcolors [state=start]
\definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red
\definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue
\def\exam[#1]
{\getrawparameters
[Exam]
[ title=
course=,
date=,
start=,
stop=,
#1]
\title{\Examtitle}}
\definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5]
\definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5]
\setuphead[title]
[ style=\BigFontOne,
command=\examtitle,
before={},
after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo
Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]}
^^^^^^^^
This should be \Examdate
\hfill
Start: \expanded{Examstart}
No need for \expanded here. Just \Examstart is enough
Stop: \expanded{Examstop}
\Examstop
\egroup\blank},
]
%D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title
\def\examtitle#1#2%
{\framed[
width=broad,
frame=off,
align=middle,
foregroundcolor=colortwo,
% I want a shadow around the title frame
background=shadow]
{#2\\{Examcourse}}}
Again, \Examcourse
\exam[
title=Mid-term 2010,
course=ES2917,
date={d=17,m=2,y=2010},
start={9:00 am},
stop={11:00 am}
]
I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that
(1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset;
(2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface;
(3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart' &
'Examstop'
You need to use \Exam... to access the values.
