Re: Clickable question/answer numbers

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi Mikael,

A partial solution to the feature we are discussing is contained in the example below, but somone more aware of ConTeXtish coding might improve it.
It is not satisfactory in that one has to define twice \startquestion and \StartQuestion, \beginanswer and \BeginAnswer, and more importantly one cannot generate automatically the references (I tried \getnumber[question] and such to append to Q:\getnumber[question] for instance, but something does not work…).

Le me know if you find a satisfactory solution…

Best regards: OK

\starttext

\section{A section with questions}

\StartQuestion{test}

Prove that $(a +b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$ for all $a,b\in{\Bbb R}$.

\BeginAnswer{test}

Indeed $(a+b)^2 = (a+b)(a+b) = a^2 + ab + ba +b^2 = a^2 + 2ab +b^2$ since $ba=ba$.
\endanswer
