NAME

AnswerFormatHelp.pl

SYNOPSIS

THIS MACRO IS DEPRECATED. DO NOT USE THIS MACRO IN NEWLY WRITTEN PROBLEMS. Use helpLink from PGbasicmacros.pl instead.

Creates links for students to help documentation on formatting answers and allows for custom help links.

DESCRIPTION

There are 16 predefined help links: angles, decimals, equations, exponents, formulas, fractions, inequalities, intervals, limits, logarithms, matrices, numbers, points, syntax, units, vectors.

Usage:

DOCUMENT();
loadMacros("PGstandard.pl","AnswerFormatHelp.pl",);
TEXT(beginproblem());
BEGIN_TEXT
\{ ans_rule(20) \}
\{ AnswerFormatHelp("formulas") \} $PAR
\{ ans_rule(20) \}
\{ AnswerFormatHelp("equations","help entering equations") \} $PAR
END_TEXT
ENDDOCUMENT();

The first example use defaults and displays the help link right next to the answer blank, which is recommended. The second example customizes the link text displayed to the student, but the actual help document is unaffected.
