This code selects random, shuffled questions from tex files that have latex exam package Multiple Choice Questions. Those files should have only Multiple Choice Questions.
This way, you can create your exam db as latex files, then select from them and prepare specific exams.
Python and hatch is needed to be installed. Hatch installs the rest of the python packages.
Download the repo. Run
hatch run yxslx --help
You will see how you can use the program.
You can edit tex_exam/tpl/main.tex file to your liking. Then re-generate the program.
There is an example file in tex_exam/tpl/db. You can start building your question db from that file.
Originally the cli was named yxslx. I will at some point change the cli name.
If your options are complex, it may not work. E.g. if in your options you have multiline content, with tikz graphs, etc. there seems to be a bug that prevents it working. If you can find and solve the bug, you are welcome to submit a PR. The question part can be complex, no problem.
