Hi, </div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to create a different format for the text documents. I am really new to modifying LonCapa Tex documents. I have created a .sty file, but I'm not able to get it to do what I want, partly because I'm not aware of
all of the options or fields that I can use. I've looked at a few LonCapa manuals that briefly touched on it but didn't really go into detail and some other sites with similar amounts of details.</div>

Here is a sample of part of my .sty file:</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">

I'd like to do the following:</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
- Have all the questions numbered automatically (it would be nice online too, but the paper one is more improtant.)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
EG/ 1. Determine the value of x, where x+1 = 0.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
- The questions would be naturally ordered starting with 1, even if they are randomly selected. I've tried using Exam type problems but the numbering doesn't show up for me and it automatically changes the fill in the blank questions to multiple choice.</div>

</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
- I'd like the option of not displaying the answer boxes in the Tex version, or changing it to a blank line or something</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
- leaving space after each question, for students to do work.</div>

</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
I realize there is a <definetag name="problem"> tag as well. I'm not sure how to make the numbering of the questions appear in the standard way I'm used to seeing on paper exams.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">

<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">
I'm also trying to compile the .tex file and it is generating a lot of errors. I've installed missing pacakges but it is still not working. Any help will be greatly appreciated.</div>
