NAME
       AMC-prepare - prepares working documents from LaTeX source file

SYNOPSIS
       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s --prefix project-dir
			    mcq-source-file

       auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b --data project-data-dir
			    mcq-source-file

DESCRIPTION
       The AMC-prepare.pl command extracts working documents from the source
       file describing the multiple choice questionnaire. Information to be
       extracted depends on the --mode argument value. In any mode, the source
       filename must be given as an argument.

       ·   with "--mode s", AMC-prepare.pl makes the subject file (answer
	   sheet to be printed and given to the students), the correction
	   (single corrected answer sheet) and the positions file (file
	   containing information about the positions of the boxes on the
	   pages). The following arguments can be used:

	   --out-sujet subject.pdf
	       sets the subject file to build.

	   --out-corrige corrected.pdf
	       sets the correction to build.

	   --out-calage calage.xy
	       sets the positions file to build.

	   --prefix directory
	       this directory is only necessary if one or more of the three
	       previous options are not used: default values are then
	       directory/sujet.pdf, directory/corrige.pdf and
	       directory/calage.xy.

       ·   with "--mode b", AMC-prepare.pl extracts scoring data from the
	   source file. In this mode, the --data argument must be used (see
	   below).

       The following optional arguments can be used in any mode:

       --with latex-engine
	   gives the LaTeX engine (command) to be used.	 latex-engine can be
	   pdflatex or xelatex for exemple.

       --filter filter
	   sets the filter name to transform the MCQ source file into a LaTeX
	   file. Native filters are latex (no change at all) and plain (source
	   is an AMC-TXT file).

       --filtered-source mcq-latex-file
	   gives the LaTeX file to make from the source file using specified
	   filter. If omitted, a filename derived from mcq-source-file adding
	   _filtered.tex is used.

       --n-copies n
	   sets the number of copies to produce, overriding the number given
	   in the LaTeX source file (first argument of the \onecopy command).

       --debug file.log
	   gives a file to fill with debugging information.

       --data project-data-dir
	   sets the directory where the project's SQLite data files are.
