AnswerFormatHelp
Answer Format Help Links
This macro has been deprecated as of WeBWorK 2.18
Although this will still function, new problems should not use this and will not be accepted in the OPL with this macro.
Instead, use the
helpLink
function.
This PG code shows how to add answer format help links to problems.
| PG problem file | Explanation |
|---|---|
DOCUMENT(); loadMacros( "PGstandard.pl", "MathObjects.pl", "AnswerFormatHelp.pl", "parserImplicitPlane.pl", ); TEXT(beginproblem()); |
Initialization:
We need to include the macros file |
Context("ImplicitPlane")->variables->are(x=>"Real",y=>"Real");
$answer = ImplicitPlane("x+y=2");
|
Setup:
By declaring there are only two variables, |
BEGIN_TEXT
Enter an equation for a line through the points
\( (0,2) \) and \( (2,0) \).
$BR
$BR
\{ ans_rule(20) \}
\{ AnswerFormatHelp("equations") \}
END_TEXT
|
Main Text:
We use
It is possible to change the link text to \{ AnswerFormatHelp("equations","help entering equations") \}
It is possible to provide a link to an external help file using |
$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1; ANS( $answer->cmp() ); ENDDOCUMENT(); |
Answer Evaluation: |
Instead of using a link to an external file, use the following:
HEADER_TEXT(<<END_HEADER_TEXT);
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function openhelpCustom1() {
OpenWindow=window.open("","answer_format_help","width=550,height=550,status=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,directories=0,resizeable=1,scrollbars=1");
OpenWindow.document.write("<title>Help With Something</title>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<body bgcolor='#ffffff'>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<center><h2>Help With Something</h2></center>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<ul>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<li><font color='#222255'>Header:</font><blockquote>Explanation <code>pi/3</code></blockquote></li>")
OpenWindow.document.write("<li><font color='#222255'>Header:</font><blockquote>Explanation <code>pi/3</code></blockquote></li>")
OpenWindow.document.write("</ul>")
OpenWindow.document.write("</body>")
OpenWindow.document.write("</html>")
OpenWindow.document.close()
self.name="main"
if (window.focus) {OpenWindow.focus()}
return false;
}
-->
</script>
END_HEADER_TEXT
BEGIN_TEXT
\{ htmlLink("#","help (something)","onClick='openhelpCustom1()';") \}
END_TEXT
