[LON-CAPA-users] Part list/order

[hkng]

I like to use it with the sty file together with css file. Each time it
encounters a part tag, I like it to display

Part A

and then automatically increments the counter. However, some problems have
only one part but have the part tag (even though it is not need). In that
case I do not want to display "Part A". So my thought is if there is only
one part, the script within the sty file can bypass the display.

It would be great if visibleparts can be incorporated in the EXT function.
This will make it more robust.

Thanks,
-hk
