Description

I was wondering if one could use a LaTeX \ifXXX to check if a the catalog or answers option is set,
such that I can include the answers for open questions in the question source files.

This would be help full to not only to have the questions but the answers in the same file too.

I would use it something along the line

\ifAMCAnswers
  the answer (text, picture, table or whatever)
\else
  the open space to be used by the student or a figure to be completed etc.
\fi

This is \AMC@correc (mind the "@" in the name). See /usr/share/doc/texmf/AMC/automultiplechoice.pdf.gz for details.

Thank you for the quick answer.

I am using it as follows:
\newtoggle{AMCAnswers}
\ifAMC@correc\toggletrue{AMCAnswers}\else\togglefalse{AMCAnswers}\fi in a style file, because of the @ character
and then use it as

 @\iftoggle{AMCAnswers}{@
    Answers

    }{
    question box

    }@\toggle{AMCAnswers}@

which requires the \usepackage{etoolbox} which is ok for me.

Yes. You can also enclose this line between \makeatletter and \makeatother.

Created a small entry on the forum to that effect.[[http://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/boards/2/topics/1014]]
