Scheme is a joy to program in . I write that despite Common Lisp being my main language. What I have seen of Scheme impressed me with its simplicity, elegance, expressiveness

Hello

Thank you very much. If only I knew more Scheme! It makes me want to learn more.

I’ll try to understand your code.

Bye

There is a hint on how to do it by Max Gubinelli in http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/include-a-texmacs-file-in-my-master-document-and-edit-it-directly/889/11 and more hints in the following posts.

I started from it to compose a document with exercises extracted randomly from several lists, one per list, but I have not found all of the software that I wrote and used to do it.

Here are test macros that I wrote for assembling a document; I find them rather chaotic but I hope they help :-) In the next few days I might find a bit of time to sort out the software and write a sensible draft, but I do not promise it.

<assign|item-list-1|<tuple|a|b|c|d|e>>

<assign|item-list-2|<tuple|a|b|c|d|e>>

<assign|item-list-3|<tuple|a|b|c|d|e>>

<assign|item-list-4|<tuple|a|b|c|d|e>>

<assign|rand|<macro|n|<extern|(lambda (n) (stree-\<gtr\>tree (random
(string-\<gtr\>number (tree-\<gtr\>stree n)))))|<arg|n>>>>

<assign|content|<macro|lst|<quasiquote|<look-up|<arg|lst>|<rand|<length|<arg|lst>>>>>>>

<assign|doc-tuple|<xmacro|args|<arg|args|<extern|(stree-\<gtr\>tree (random
3))>>>>

<assign|random-list|<\macro>
  <\enumerate>
    <item><content|<value|item-list-1>>

    <item><content|<value|item-list-2>>

    <item><content|<value|item-list-3>>

    <item><content|<value|item-list-4>>
  </enumerate>
</macro>>

Hello,

I'm currently creating my quizzes with the esami package in LaTeX (the only thing I can't yet do with TeXmacs). The latter allows me to randomly mix the suggested answers for each question, when I create the pdf, and even allows me to write several similar questions that are chosen randomly.
I've started writing a script in Python (I don't know Scheme well enough) that manipulates texmacs files (which isn't very clean) but before going any further I'd like to know if this work has already been done.

Thank you.
Bye
