Dear Dalyoung,

I guess you are typesetting the wrong file, or you have put the last code I sent into a file which contains something of the previous codes… Indeed in the last file I sent (which I am sending again at the end of this reply) does not contain the command \myanswer… which appears in your error message.

Please test the code below and let me know if you encunter a problem.

Best regards: OK %%%% begin interactive-question-answer.tex %%%% Here, following Wolfgang Schuster's ideas, %%%% we define some macros allowing to couple %%%% Questions and Answers in an automatic way %%%% Upon clicking on an interactive title for Question or Answer %%%% one goes to the corresponding Answer or Question

% example of use: \starttext \startchapter[title=Questions]

\startquestion[q:1] Prove that ${\rm e}\sim 2.73$ is irrational.

This is the first question, with its own reference, for later use. \stopquestion

\beginanswer \startanswer This is the answer to the first question (to \in{Question}[q:1]). \stopanswer \endanswer

\startquestion This is the second question, without its own reference. \stopquestion

\beginanswer \startanswer[a:Test] This is the answer to the second question.

(Note that this answer has a reference named \type{a:Test}). \stopanswer \endanswer

\startquestion[q:Obvious] This is the third question, an easy one, without a given solution. \stopquestion

% we increment here the counters for Answer \noanswer

\startquestion[q:2] This is the fourth question with its own reference. \stopquestion

\beginanswer \startanswer This is the answer to the fourth question: use the result of \in{Question}[q:1]. \stopanswer \endanswer

\startquestion This is the fifth question, without its own reference.

({\it Hint:} look again at \in{Question}[q:Obvious]). \stopquestion

Dear Otared,

Hi, I run the given code and got an error message as following.

tex error > tex error on line 1 in file virtual://block.answer.2: ! Undefined control sequence

l.1 \myanswer [Q:test]

<empty file>

Would you please tell me how to avoid such an error? It seems to me that you don’t have an error.

I am running minimal(beta) in OSX.

Thank you.

Best regards,
