AMC-PREPARE(1)						       Auto Multiple Choice						    AMC-PREPARE(1)

NAME

       AMC-prepare - prepares working documents from LaTeX source file

SYNOPSIS

       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s --prefix project-dir mcq-source-file

       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b --data project-data-dir mcq-source-file

DESCRIPTION

       The AMC-prepare.pl 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.

       o   with "--mode s", AMC-prepare.pl 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.

       o   with "--mode b", AMC-prepare.pl 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 exemple.

       --filter filter
	   sets the filter name to transform the MCQ source file into a LaTeX file. Native filters are latex (no change at all) and plain (source
	   is an AMC-TXT file).

       --filtered-source mcq-latex-file
	   gives the LaTeX file to make from the source file using specified filter. If omitted, a filename derived from mcq-source-file adding
	   _filtered.tex is used.

       --n-copies n
	   sets the number of copies to produce, overriding the number given in the LaTeX source file (first argument of the onecopy command).

       --debug file.log
	   gives a file to fill with debugging information.

       --data project-data-dir
	   sets the directory where the project's SQLite data files are.

NAME

       AMC-imprime - prints AMC multiple choice answer sheets to be distributed to the students

SYNOPSIS

       auto-multiple-choice imprime --sujet subject.pdf --fich-nums numbers-file.txt --data data-dir --methode method
			    [where-to-print-arguments...]

DESCRIPTION

       The AMC-imprime.pl command prints selected copies from a AMC multiple choice answer sheet.

   What to print
       The following arguments describe what to print:

       --sujet subject.pdf
	   sets the subject file (prepared by AMC-prepare(1)).

       --fich-nums numbers-file.txt
	   gives a file where the numbers of the copies to be printed are written (one number per line). If this argument is not given, all the
	   copies will be printed.

       --data data-dir
	   gives the directory where data files are (see for example AMC-meptex(1)). The layout database in the data directory is used to know at
	   which page of the subject file each copy begins and ends.

   Where to print
       Several printing methods are currently defined:

       o   with "--methode CUPS", AMC-imprime.pl prints to a CUPS printer. One print job is sent for each copy, allowing for exemple to use
	   stapling. Use the following options with this method:

	   --imprimante printer
	       sets the CUPS printer name to print to.

	   --options cups-options
	       gives CUPS options, in the opt1=value1,opt2=value2,...  format.

       o   with "--methode file", AMC-imprime.pl outputs the answer sheets to files (one for each copy).

	   --output filename
	       sets the filename for outputs. The '%e' sequence will be replaced by a 4-digits copy number. If filename does not contain '%e', the
	       string '-%e.pdf' will be added at its end.

       o   with "--methode command", AMC-imprime.pl will use a provided command for each copy.

	   --print-command command
	       gives the command to be used for printing. The command string will be split at each space character (even when using quotes...).
	       The sequence '%f' will be replaced by a PDF filename (containing the copy to print), and '%e' will be replaced by the copy number.
