Excluding WeBWork exercises from a build

[Juan Carlos Bustamante]

Hello to everyone,

I am incorporating somw EBWWork exercises in our calculus book. As we have not finished so far, I would llike to be able to easily generate versions of the book, but excluding the WeBWork exercises for the time being. No WeBWork exercise is divisional, if that helps. I guess that some string parameter can control this, but I am not able to find it in the guide.

Any suggestion?

Kind regards,

JC

I think I would do this using components.

If each WeBWorK exercise currently begins with an exercise tag that has an xml:id identifying it as WeBWorK, this can be done quickly.

If you have a pattern like 

<exercise xml:id="ex-ww-foo">, you can do a global find-replace to replace

<exercise xml:id="ex-ww-foo"> with

<exercise xml:id="ex-ww-foo" component="webwork">

This can be done in one step using regular expressions.

You can also do it if the pattern is like

<exercise>

  <webwork>

but being the regex right is slightly harder.

Then these should not show up unless you have include="webwork" at the right point in your publisher file.

See https://pretextbook.org/doc/guide/html/publisher-versions.html

for details on using components.

Thanks, Sean. Yes, version support is the way to go here.

One addition: you need to "opt-in", or else the @component attribute is totally
ignored.

So set include="" to get a version *without* the "webwork" component.

See bullet #3:

Subsection 28.2.2: Forming a Version
https://pretextbook.org/doc/guide/html/publisher-versions.html#subsection-137

Thanks!

So far my publication.ptx file has  the following lines in it.

<source webwork-problems="../generated/webwork/webwork-representations.xml">
        <directories external="../external" generated="../generated"/>

</source>

Do I need to add a <source> ... </source> tag, or, I add the line 

<version include="webwork"/> (or whatever tag I create)?

Thanks!

Below the directories tag, add
<version include=""/>
to omit the webwork exercises, and when you are ready to include them, either remove this tag, or change it to <version include="webwork"/>
