pTyX MCQ Extension
==================
MCQ generation (PDF files) and automatic marking of scanned students answers.
Overview
--------
pTyX is a LaTeX precompiler, written in Python.
pTyX enables to generate LaTeX documents, using custom commands or plain python code.
One single pTyX file may generate many latex documents, with different values.
I developed and used pTyX to make several versions of a same test in exams,
for my student, to discourage cheating.
Since it uses sympy library, pTyX has symbolic calculus abilities too.
The `pTyX MCQ extension` makes it easy to use pTyX to generate Multiple Choice Questions
in the form of pdf documents.
The students MCQ can then be scanned and automatically corrected and marked.
Installation
------------
Obviously, pTyX needs a working Python installation.
Python version 3.8 (at least) is required for pTyX MCQ to run.
Currently, pTyX is only supported on GNU/Linux.
The easiest way to install it is to use pip.
$ pip install --user ptyx_mcq
Usage
-----
To generate a template, run:
$ mcq new new_folder
This will generate a `new_folder` folder with a `new.ptyx` file inside,
which is the main configuration file.
This will also create a `new_folder/questions/` folder, where you should put all the exercises,
as `.txt` files.
A few text files are already included as examples.
See the next section (*MCQ file format*) for more information about those files format.
To compile the template, run:
$ mcq make
For more options:
$ mcq make --help
To automatically corrected the scanned students MCQs, but them as a pdf inside `new_folder/scan`.
Then run:
$ mcq scan
MCQ file format
---------------
When running `mcq new`, a template folder will be generated, including a `new.ptyx` file.
