Description

Most of the time you want the questions and choices to be shown on one page and use the global box option in the \usepackage[opts...]{automultiplechoice} but in some case you cannot do so, because e.g. one question and its choices them selves do not fit on one page. In such cases, for such questions, one would like to have the possibility to not box that particular question, and be allowed to control page breaks to e.g. keep the choices on one page. In my case these questions would consist of a largish code listing which needs reparation and the choices are the possible repairs.

I think you can use the \AMCnobloc and \AMCbloc around the question environment to switch to not boxed and restore boxed questions style. These are undocumented commands, and I think I should change their names because they are from french...

This works. I can read and understand this kind of French. I wished my French was good enough to read and answer the questions on this forum. It is a bit of a pity

In my case all questions are in separate files and to prevent turning boxing on half way through an exam I used the command inside braces like so

{\AMCnobloc
questiontext ....
\AMCbloc}

Thanks for the effort. This is usable as is (I updated the affected question).

This works. I can read and understand this kind of French. I wished my French was good enough to read and answer the French questions in this forum. It is a bit of a pity that good questions and good ideas get a bit lost by having two language fractions.
