Re: Header problem in project

Taco et all,

 From what I could deduce, our former macro for placeanswers was a  
group.

\def\placeanswers{
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
      \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
       \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
       \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
       \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
       \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

It occurred at the end of an exercise set like this:

%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%================================================
\stopquestions

\placeanswers\kern0pt

\stopcomponent

So when the group was finished, the header for the component took  
over. Here is the fix I found. I just set new headers for the rest of  
the way.

\def\placeanswers{\doifmode{long}{%
	\page[yes]
   	  \def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
   	  \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
   	  \setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]}
   \bgroup
   \doifmodeelse{short}
   {
      \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
       \selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
       \stopcolumnset
   }
   {
       \keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
       \answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
       \selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
   }
   \egroup
}

So now when we compile with:

texmfstart texexec --mode=long,paging section1exercise

We get what we want, which is no page numbers in the headers once the  
solutions start. You can see the result at:

http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText2/chapter2/section1solutions.pdf

We have a paging mode and a perl script that syncs the page numbers  
at the beginning of this document with the chapter page numbers.

Thanks.
