With LyX, I use Hirschorn's exam class: http://www-math.mit.edu/~psh/#ExamCls I found a layout file that requires a lot of ERT, but does successfully utilize all of the features of this class. I will attach it at the end, but should note that the credit does NOT belong to me. I prefer the Examdesign class and use it as regular TeX. I have not figured out how to set up a layout file in LyX which uses the nesting. I hope you find something here that you can use. The limitation I see with LyX is the ability to nest in a layout file. --Jason Waskiewicz Bowman County High School #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass{exam} # Exam textclass definition file. # Author : <[email protected]> # Input general definitions Input stdclass.inc # There are no chapters in an article.
