Can <example> and <problem> have different knowl settings?

[Bruce Yoshiwara]

Kathy is experimenting with using the <problem> tag. She wants the <answer> to be in a knowl. But as best I can tell, the fact that example-solution knowl setting is "no" (she definitely doesn't want example solutions hidden in knowls) means that the <answer> in a <problem> cannot be knowlized.

Or is there a way I should be setting the publication file to accomplish what she wants, namely that the <solution> in an  <example> is not in a knowl, but that any <answer> in a <problem> is in a knowl.

Dear Bruce,

#example and #problem are peers. They behave identically. They are also
expository, as in they are not meant to suggest something the reader will do.
So their #hint, #answer, #solution are always exposed, they are part of your
narrative.

Inline #exercise plus the peers in PROJECT-LIKE
(project|activity|exploration|investigation) are more flexible about knowls and
are independent of each other. If she is not already using a PROJECT-LIKE she
could pick one for authoring, and rename it as a "Problem", setting knowl
behavior as desired.

Possible I have not completely addressed your question and goals - if not,
follow-up.

As Rob said, example and problem behave the same and the knowlization of their answers, hints, solutions are controlled with one switch in the publication file.

Table 44.4.1: Knowlization options

There's still project-like and inline-exercise, but if she's already using those, there are two more options: worksheet exercises and reading question exercises.  Those divisions can be titled.  Is it possible she would be using "problem" in a way that fits into one of those categories?
