Suppressing WeBWorK solutions in solutions manual

[Mitch Keller]

Working on the solutions manual for Active Calculus - Multivariable. There’s not really a need to include the WeBWorK exercises’ solutions, so we have used extra XSL that imports pretext-solution-manual-latex.xsl and then has a template designed to suppress the solution when there’s a WeBWorK exercise. 

As things have changed under the hood, this has been a bit of a moving target. We had been using

<xsl:template match="exercise[@exercise-interactive='webwork-reps']" mode="solutions"> </xsl:template>

However, that no longer excludes the WW solutions. I have tried building the assembly-static format using the pretext/pretext script, which led me to try

<xsl:template match="exercise[@pi:exercise-interactive='static']" mode="solutions"> </xsl:template>

However, the solutions are still showing up in the solutions manual.

Using versions wouldn't really save us, as we want the numbering to be right, and the WW exercises all come before the exercises for which we want the solutions.

Can someone help point me toward whatever we should be using to omit the solutions to the WW exercises?

Thanks!

Not 100% sure that I understand the why, but I have managed to resolve this myself. Upgrade to CLI 2.48.1 might have been a factor, and then I needed to add xmlns:pi="http://pretextbook.org/2020/pretext/internal" to the xsl:stylesheet element in our custom XSL. Wasn't throwing an error on Monday related to the namespace, but today it did. This allowed the version I mentioned trying in my previous message to work. In any case, the solutions we don't want in the solutions manual are now gone!

Thanks, Mitch! I'd worked up a solution, but had not had time to write a sketch. We can talk at Drop-In - I might have something more robust.
