Subject: Two questions - Cross Referencing (Automated label generation + Random items)
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 13:17:03 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20090303T130404-820@post.gmane.org> (raw)


As I mentioned earlier, I am trying to use Context to make a multiple choice
test. I have two questions.

(1) Suppose I want to get a list of answers to the the multiple choice
questions. One way I can think of doing this is by assigning a label to the
CORRECT answer as done in the following code and then referring to that label.
Is there a way these labels can be generated automatically, instead of
hardcoding them as I have done below? 

defineenumeration[problem][text= ,location=inleft] 
\setupenumerations[problem][stopper=)]

\defineitemgroup[choices][levels=1] 
\setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed]
\nextrandom

\starttext 

   \problem This is the first question.
     \startchoices      
             \startitem This is incorrect answer 1. \stopitem   
             \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem
    	     \startitem[1] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem   
             \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem
     \stopchoices

   	\problem This is the second question.
	     \startchoices        
	           \startitem[2] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem   
	           \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem
	    	   \startitem This is not a correct choice. \stopitem   
	           \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem
	     \stopchoices


Answers to the questions
  
\in[1]

\in[2]    

\stoptext 

(2) When I add the option "random" to the itemgroup
(\setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed,random]) then as expected the choices are
listed in a random order. However, the label does not change with the choice
listing. I want the reference to be attached to the CORRECT answer, which
changes its position with random option. Is there a way to have the reference
reflect the letter corresponding to the correct answer.

Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.
