Exam Setup

All global options are controlled through two functions: examst-set to update options and examst-reset to restore defaults.

examst-set()

Updates one or more global configuration options. Only the specified options are changed; all others retain their current values.

#examst-set(
  show-answers: true,
  render-points: "boxed",
  points-position: "inline",
  render-question-counter: it => numbering("1.", it.get().last()),
)

#question(points: 10)[
  What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?
  #solution[42]
]

#examst-reset()

examst-reset()

Resets all configuration options to their defaults. Useful after a section where you changed settings temporarily.

#examst-set(show-answers: true)
// ... answer key section ...
#examst-reset()
// back to normal exam rendering

Typical Exam Preamble

A common setup for a full exam document:

#import "@preview/examst:0.1.0": *

#examst-set(
  render-question-counter: it => [
    #let depth = it.get().len()
    #let last = it.get().last()
    #if depth == 1 { numbering("1.", last) }
    #if depth == 2 { numbering("(a)", last) }
    #if depth == 3 { numbering("i.", last) }
  ],
  render-points: "parenthesized",
  points-position: "inline",
  multi-choice-marker: "bubble-letter",
)
