This has been fermenting between the ears for some time now, and only
picked up concrete form the other day.
I want to have a type of text tjat can be excluded in a "save as"
operation. Alternatively, there could be an abridged export to lyx
operation.
Text marked in this way would act as normal text unless excluded in
such an operation. This is similar to what the "slides only" and
"notes only" in the slides class are supposed to do (has anyone gotten
either of those to work, for that matter?)
My specific use would be having a single file containing both the test
(or homework) and the key. I could then distribute the exported file
while holding back the answers, yet keep the questions in the key and
the test fully in sync (not that *I* have ever ended up with different
versions :). My initial approach was to to define an "answer" style
that could be made to go away with a switch. This leave the problem,
though, of not being able to distribute the lyx or latex files, which
I usually do on a web page.
The idea isn't fully developed, and I'm not yet certain that I can't
solve it with just a document class. It would, however, be very useful.
But before I set about it, I want to make sure I'm not reinventing the
wheel . . .
