Quick Start

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo

#exo(
  exercise: [
    Solve the equation $2x + 5 = 13$.
  ]
)

Basic Usage

Simple Exercise

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo

#exo(
  exercise: [
    Calculate $3 + 4 times 2$.
  ]
)

Exercise with Solution

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo

#exo(
  exercise: [
    Calculate $3 + 4 times 2$.
  ],
  solution: [
    $3 + 4 times 2 = 3 + 8 = 11$
  ],
)

Multiple Exercises

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo

#exo(exercise: [Simplify $x^2 + 2x + 1$.])
#exo(exercise: [Factor $x^2 - 4$.])
#exo(exercise: [Solve $2x - 6 = 0$.])

Display Control

The package uses three parameters to control how exercises and solutions are displayed:

show - What to Display

Controls what content is displayed:

• "both" (default) - Show both exercises and solutions/corrections
• "ex" - Show only exercises (hide solutions/corrections)
• "sol" - Show only solutions/corrections (hide exercises)

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

// Student worksheet - exercises only
#exo-setup(display: "ex")

// Answer key - solutions only
#exo-setup(display: "sol")

// Complete document - both
#exo-setup(display: "both")

corr-display - What Content to Show

Controls whether to show solutions or corrections:

• "solution" (default) - Show the solution content
• "correction" - Show the correction content (for teachers)
• "mixed" - Default to solution, but show correction for exercises with show-corr: true

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

// Student version - show solutions
#exo-setup(corr-display: "solution")

// Teacher version - show corrections
#exo-setup(corr-display: "correction")

// Mixed mode
#exo-setup(corr-display: "mixed")

#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $x^2 = 9$.],
  solution: [$x = plus.minus 3$],
  correction: [Detailed explanation with teaching notes...],
  show-corr: true,  // In mixed mode, show correction for this exercise
)

corr-loc - Where to Display

Controls where solutions/corrections appear:

• "after" (default) - Show immediately after each exercise
• "pagebreak" - Show with a page break between exercise and solution
• "end-section" - Collect and show at section end
• "end-chapter" - Collect and show at chapter end

Important: with "end-section" and "end-chapter", the solutions are only collected - you decide where they appear by calling #exo-section-end() / #exo-chapter-end() (or #exo-print-solutions()) at that point, or by using exo-auto-chapter (see below) to do it automatically.

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup, exo-print-solutions

// Solutions at end of section
#exo-setup(corr-loc: "end-section")

#exo(exercise: [Exercise 1], solution: [Answer 1])
#exo(exercise: [Exercise 2], solution: [Answer 2])

// Print all collected solutions
#exo-print-solutions(title: "Answers")

Automatic End-of-Chapter Corrections

Instead of calling #exo-chapter-end() manually, wrap your document with exo-auto-chapter: the pending solutions/corrections are printed right before each new level-1 heading and at the end of the document, and the exercise counter resets at each chapter.

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup, exo-auto-chapter

#exo-setup(corr-loc: "end-chapter", counter-reset: "chapter")
#show: exo-auto-chapter

= Chapter 1
#exo(exercise: [Exercise 1], solution: [Answer 1])

= Chapter 2  // <- Chapter 1 solutions are printed just before this title
#exo(exercise: [Exercise 2], solution: [Answer 2])
// <- Chapter 2 solutions are printed at the end of the document

sol-loc - Separate Solution and Correction Placement

sol-loc controls where solutions go, independently of corrections (default auto = follow corr-loc). A typical setup: the short answer right below the statement, the full correction at the end of the chapter.

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup, exo-auto-chapter

#exo-setup(
  corr-display: "correction",  // show both the correction and the solution
  sol-loc: "after",            // short answer below the statement
  corr-loc: "end-chapter",     // full correction at the end of the chapter
  solution-style: "inline",    // optional: epigraph-like short rule, no badge
)
#show: exo-auto-chapter

= Chapter 1
#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0$.],
  solution: [$x in {2, 3}$],
  correction: [Factor: $(x-2)(x-3) = 0$, so $x = 2$ or $x = 3$.],
)

With solution-style: "inline", the solution appears under the statement after a short horizontal rule (like an epigraph) instead of a badge box. A small label in the margin (the solution label, in italics) makes clear it is the solution; customize it with inline-label (any content, or none to hide it). The rule length is configurable via inline-rule-length (default 3cm).

Clickable Exercise <-> Correction Links

When corrections are deferred (pagebreak, end-section, end-chapter), enable link-solutions to get a small clickable arrow next to the exercise badge that jumps to its correction, and a back-arrow on the correction that returns to the statement - handy for students navigating a PDF.

#exo-setup(corr-loc: "end-chapter", link-solutions: true)

The icons are customizable (link-icon, backlink-icon; set to none to hide one side). Exercises without a deferred solution or correction get no icon.

Prefer the textbook look? With link-style: "page", the exercise instead shows a clickable “Solution p. 30”-style reference at the top right of the statement, pointing to the page where the correction was printed:

#exo-setup(
  corr-loc: "end-chapter",
  link-solutions: true,
  link-style: "page",
)

The reference uses the solution/correction label and the badge color; override with page-ref-color or a full page-ref-format: (label, page) => content function.

Corrections (Teacher Version)

Corrections are detailed solutions for teachers, including pedagogical notes and teaching tips.

Exercise with Correction

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

#exo-setup(corr-display: "correction")

#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $x^2 = 9$.],
  correction: [
    *Teacher's notes:*
    $x = plus.minus 3$

    Common mistake: Students often forget the negative root.
  ],
)

Corrections Only (Teacher Answer Key)

Create teacher answer keys showing only corrections:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

#exo-setup(
  display: "sol",              // Only show solutions/corrections
  corr-display: "correction", // Show corrections
)

#exo(
  exercise: [Exercise 1 (hidden in output)],
  correction: [Detailed correction for teachers],
)

Mixed Display Mode

Use corr-display: "mixed" to default to solutions while showing corrections for specific exercises:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

#exo-setup(corr-display: "mixed")

// This shows solution (default)
#exo(
  exercise: [Simple problem],
  solution: [Quick answer],
  correction: [Detailed explanation],
)

// This shows correction (because show-corr: true)
#exo(
  exercise: [Complex problem needing explanation],
  solution: [Answer],
  correction: [Detailed step-by-step solution with notes],
  show-corr: true,
)

Exercise-Level Flags

• show-corr: true - In “mixed” mode, show correction instead of solution for this exercise
• sol-in-corr: true - Indicates that the correction already includes the solution; in “correction” mode, only correction is shown (not both correction AND solution)

Draft Mode and Placeholders

When creating exercise documents, you may have incomplete corrections or solutions. Draft mode allows you to:

• Show placeholder text for empty corrections/solutions (useful for teacher drafts)
• Maintain exercise counters even with empty content
• Hide placeholders in student versions

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

// Teacher draft version - shows placeholders
#exo-setup(
  draft-mode: true,
  correction-placeholder: [_[To be completed]_],
  solution-placeholder: [_[Answer to be written]_],
)

#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $x + 5 = 12$],
  solution: [],  // Empty - shows placeholder in draft mode
)

// Student version (draft mode OFF)
#exo-setup(draft-mode: false)

#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $x + 5 = 12$],
  solution: [],  // Empty - shows only space, no placeholder
)

Metadata and Filtering

Adding Metadata

Tag exercises with metadata for organization and filtering:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo

#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $x + 1 = 5$.],
  topic: "algebra",
  level: "easy",
  authors: ("Prof. Smith",),
)

Filtering Exercises

Display only exercises matching certain criteria:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-filter

// First, define exercises (they display normally)
#exo(exercise: [Exercise 1], topic: "algebra")
#exo(exercise: [Exercise 2], topic: "geometry")
#exo(exercise: [Exercise 3], topic: "algebra")

// Later, filter and redisplay specific exercises
#exo-filter(topic: "algebra")  // Shows exercises 1 and 3

Exercise Banks

Define exercises once, use them anywhere. Perfect for creating exercise collections.

Defining Bank Exercises

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-define

// These don't display - just registered
#exo-define(
  id: "quad-1",
  exercise: [Solve $x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0$.],
  topic: "quadratics",
  level: "1M",
  solution: [$x = 2$ or $x = 3$],
)

#exo-define(
  id: "geom-1",
  exercise: [Find the area of a circle with radius 5.],
  topic: "geometry",
  level: "1M",
  solution: [$A = pi r^2 = 25pi$],
)

Displaying Bank Exercises

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-show, exo-show-many

// Show a single exercise by ID
#exo-show("quad-1")

// Show multiple exercises
#exo-show-many("quad-1", "geom-1", "quad-2")

Selecting from Bank

Use powerful filtering to select exercises:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-select

// All quadratics exercises
#exo-select(topic: "quadratics")

// Level 1M exercises only
#exo-select(level: "1M")

// Multiple topics
#exo-select(topics: ("quadratics", "geometry"))

// Limit number of exercises
#exo-select(topic: "algebra", max: 5)

// Custom filter function
#exo-select(where: ex => ex.metadata.level == "hard")

Competency Tags

Tag exercises with competencies and display them visually:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-define, exo-show, exo-setup

#exo-setup(show-competencies: true)

#exo-define(
  id: "comp-ex-1",
  exercise: [Solve and explain your reasoning.],
  competencies: ("C1.1", "C2.3", "C4.1"),
  solution: [Solution here],
)

#exo-show("comp-ex-1")

Filter by Competency

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-select

// Exercises with specific competency
#exo-select(competency: "C1.1")

// Exercises with any of these competencies
#exo-select(competencies: ("C1.1", "C2.3"))

Configuration

Global Setup

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-setup

#exo-setup(
  // Display control
  display: "both",               // "ex", "sol", "both"
  corr-display: "solution",    // "solution", "correction", "mixed"
  corr-loc: "after",           // "after", "pagebreak", "end-section", "end-chapter"
  // Labels
  exercise-label: "Exercise",
  solution-label: "Solution",
  correction-label: "Correction",
  // Counter behavior
  counter-reset: "section",   // "section", "chapter", "global"
  // Display options
  show-metadata: false,
  show-id: false,
  show-competencies: false,
  // Draft mode
  draft-mode: false,
  correction-placeholder: [_To be completed_],
  solution-placeholder: [_To be completed_],
  // Spacing
  exercise-above: 0.8em,
  exercise-below: 0.8em,
  solution-above: 0.8em,
  solution-below: 0.8em,
  correction-above: 0.8em,
  correction-below: 0.8em,
  // Advanced exercises
  advanced-symbol: "*",
)

Localization

Change labels for different languages:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-setup

// French
#exo-setup(
  exercise-label: "Exercice",
  solution-label: "Solution",
  correction-label: "Corrigé",
)

// German
#exo-setup(
  exercise-label: "Aufgabe",
  solution-label: "Lösung",
)

Visual Styles

Choose from 12 different badge styles:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

// Circled number style
#exo-setup(badge-style: "circled")

// Filled circle with custom color
#exo-setup(badge-style: "filled-circle", badge-color: rgb("#2563eb"))

// Tag style
#exo-setup(badge-style: "tag", badge-color: rgb("#1e40af"))

// Custom colors for solutions and corrections
#exo-setup(
  solution-color: rgb("#059669"),    // Green for solutions
  correction-color: rgb("#dc2626"),  // Red for corrections
)

#exo(exercise: [Solve $x + 3 = 7$])

Available styles: "box" (default), "circled", "filled-circle", "rect", "filled-rect", "pill", "tag", "margin", "border-accent", "underline", "rounded-box", "header-card"

The "rect" and "filled-rect" styles show a compact number-only rectangle - a minimal alternative to the circle styles when circles look too large in your font.

Custom badge function

For full control without touching the package, pass a function as badge-style. It receives (label, number, font-size, color, is-solution) and returns the badge content:

#exo-setup(badge-style: (label, number, font-size, color, is-solution) => {
  box(stroke: (bottom: 1.5pt + color), inset: (x: 4pt, y: 3pt),
    text(weight: "bold", size: font-size, fill: color)[#number.])
})

Label margin width

For badge styles, the content is indented by margin-position so that exercise, solution, and correction boxes all align. By default (auto) it is computed from your configured labels with a 3-digit number (e.g. “Correction 100”). Reduce it for a tighter layout:

#exo-setup(margin-position: 1.6cm)  // narrower label column
#exo-setup(label-extra: 0pt)        // don't extend labels into the page margin

If a badge (or QR code) is wider than the configured margin, the label column widens for that box instead of overflowing.

Counter Reset Options

Control when exercise numbering resets:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-setup, exo-section-start, exo-chapter-start

// Reset at each section
#exo-setup(counter-reset: "section")
= Section 1
#exo-section-start()

// Reset at each chapter
#exo-setup(counter-reset: "chapter")
= Chapter 1
#exo-chapter-start()

// Never reset (global numbering)
#exo-setup(counter-reset: "global")

Chapter-Prefixed Numbering

With number-prefix: "heading", the displayed exercise number is prefixed by the current level-1 heading number, e.g. exercise 5 of chapter 3 shows as “3.5” (on the exercise, its solution, and its correction):

#set heading(numbering: "1.")
#exo-setup(number-prefix: "heading", counter-reset: "chapter")
#show: exo-auto-chapter  // or call #exo-chapter-start() at each chapter

= Equations
#exo(exercise: [Numbered 1.1])
#exo(exercise: [Numbered 1.2])

The separator is configurable with number-separator (default ".").

number-prefix also accepts a counter or a function () => value, for heading packages that keep their own chapter counter instead of counter(heading).

Works with beautitled: from beautitled 0.3.0 the native heading counter is kept in sync, so number-prefix: "heading" works out of the box (with earlier versions, use number-prefix: chapter-counter with beautitled’s exported counter; same with enable-parts: true, where the first heading level is the part). With beautitled’s direct function calls (#chapter(...) instead of = headings), exo-auto-chapter has no heading to hook onto - wrap the chapter call instead:

#let chapitre(..args) = { exo-chapter-end(); chapter(..args); exo-chapter-start() }

Show Exercise IDs

Display exercise IDs for reference:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo-setup, exo

#exo-setup(show-id: true)

#exo(
  id: "my-exercise",
  exercise: [
    This exercise shows its ID below the badge.
  ]
)

Advanced Exercises

Mark exercises as advanced to display a visual cue before the label:

#import "@preview/exercise-bank:0.6.0": exo, exo-setup

// Default symbol is "*"
#exo(
  exercise: [This is a challenging problem.],
  advanced: true,
)

// Use a custom symbol
#exo-setup(advanced-symbol: sym.dagger)
#exo(exercise: [Advanced with dagger.], advanced: true)

// Disable the feature
#exo-setup(advanced-symbol: none)

Optional Exercises

Mark exercises as optional — a star icon appears before the label:

#exo(
  exercise: [Skip this if you're short on time. Solve $x^2 - x - 6 = 0$.],
  optional: true,
)

Customize or disable the symbol: exo-setup(optional-symbol: [⭐]) / exo-setup(optional-symbol: none).

Correction-Given Exercises

A dumbbell icon signals that the printed correction will be distributed:

#exo(
  exercise: [Factor $x^2 - 9$.],
  solution: [$(x-3)(x+3)$],
  corr-given: true,
)

Customize via exo-setup(corr-given-symbol: ...) or disable with none.

Difficulty Levels

Tag each exercise with a difficulty: level. The built-in scale has 5 levels; how it shows is controlled by difficulty-display:

• "color" (default) - the exercise badge takes the level color: green, red, blue, purple, black
• "stars" - 1 to 5 small stars before the label (numeric levels)
• "symbols" - one icon per level: seedling, pencil, target, mountain, star
• "none" - metadata only (still usable for filtering)

#exo(exercise: [Introductory.], difficulty: 1)
#exo(exercise: [Exam-type.], difficulty: 3)
#exo(exercise: [Advanced.], difficulty: 4)

// Stars or symbols instead of colors
#exo-setup(difficulty-display: "stars")
#exo-setup(difficulty-display: "symbols")

Stars and symbols are placed below the badge by default so the badge stays compact; use difficulty-position: "badge" to put them inline before the label instead.

The scale is fully customizable - any keys, any colors, any symbols:

#exo-setup(difficulty-scale: (
  "easy": (color: rgb("#00897b")),
  "hard": (color: rgb("#e65100"), symbol: [🔥]),
))
#exo(exercise: [...], difficulty: "hard")

Difficulty combines well with the optional marker: encode every exercise’s level, and use optional: false/true to mark which ones are mandatory. You can also filter by difficulty:

#exo-select(difficulty: 3)          // one level
#exo-select(difficulties: (1, 2))   // any of these levels
#exo-count(difficulty: 4)

QR Codes

Attach a QR code to any exercise (e.g. linking to a video correction or an online version). Pass a URL string — the code is generated with tiaoma — or ready-made content:

#exo(
  exercise: [Solve $2x + 5 = 13$.],
  qr: "https://example.com/corrections/exo-1",
)

// Works in banks too: the QR is stored and shown by exo-show / exo-select
#exo-define(id: "eq1", exercise: [...], qr: "https://example.com/eq1")
#exo-show("eq1")

// Solutions and corrections can carry their own QR code (e.g. a video walkthrough)
#exo(
  exercise: [...],
  solution: [...],
  qr-sol: "https://example.com/videos/sol-1",   // QR on the solution box
  correction: [...],
  qr-corr: "https://example.com/videos/corr-1", // QR on the correction box
)

The placement adapts to the badge style:

• Badge styles (box, circled, filled-circle, pill, tag): the QR sits below the badge in the label margin, and shrinks automatically if you reduce margin-position.
• margin style: the QR sits below the side label in the margin column.
• Full-width styles (border-accent, underline, rounded-box, header-card): the exercise content wraps around the QR at the top right (via wrap-it).

Global options:

#exo-setup(
  qr-size: 1.5cm,          // Target size (default 1.5cm)
  qr-min-size: 1cm,        // Never shrink below this — a smaller QR is hard to
                           // scan; past that it extends into the page margin
  qr-color: rgb("#1e3a8a"), // Module color (default black)
  qr-caption: [Corrigé],   // Small caption below every QR (default none)
  qr-position: "wrap",     // "auto" (default, placed per badge style) or "wrap"
                           // (always wrap the exercise content around the QR)
  show-qr: false,          // Master toggle, e.g. for a print version
)

Changelog

[0.6.0] - 2026-07-14

Added

• Difficulty levels — difficulty: on exo/exo-define with a configurable scale (up to 5 built-in levels); shown as badge colors (default), stars, or drawn symbols (seedling, pencil, target, mountain, star) via difficulty-display (stars/symbols sit below the badge by default, difficulty-position: "badge" for inline); new difficulty/difficulties filters on exo-select, exo-filter, and exo-count
• Clickable exercise ↔ correction links — link-solutions: true adds an arrow icon on the exercise jumping to its deferred correction and a back-link on the correction (customizable link-icon/backlink-icon); with link-style: "page" the exercise instead shows a textbook-style clickable “Solution p. 30” reference at the top right of the statement
• Split solution/correction placement — new sol-loc setting so solutions and corrections can go to different locations (e.g. solution right after the statement, correction at the end of the chapter)
• Inline solution style — solution-style: "inline" renders solutions as a short epigraph-like rule + content directly under the statement, with a small margin label (rule length via inline-rule-length, label via inline-label)
• Automatic end-of-chapter corrections — #show: exo-auto-chapter prints pending corrections before each new level-1 heading and at the end of the document
• Chapter-prefixed numbering — number-prefix: "heading" displays exercise numbers as “3.5” using the current level-1 heading number; also accepts a custom counter or function for heading packages with their own counters, e.g. beautitled’s chapter-counter (number-separator configurable)
• rect and filled-rect badge styles — compact number-only rectangles, a minimal alternative to the circle styles
• Custom badge functions — badge-style accepts a function (label, number, font-size, color, is-solution) => content

Fixed

• Markers on all badge styles — the optional/corr-given/difficulty markers now show on every badge style (circled, filled-circle, pill, tag, rect, filled-rect) and on full-width styles; previously they only appeared with the default box style

[0.5.3] - 2026-07-13

Added

• QR codes — attach a QR code to any exercise, solution, or correction box via qr, qr-sol, and qr-corr parameters (accepts a URL string or arbitrary content). Generated with tiaoma.
• QR placement per badge style — in margin/badge styles the code sits below the badge in the label column; in full-width styles the exercise content wraps around the code (via wrap-it).
• Global QR configuration in exo-setup — show-qr, qr-size, qr-min-size, qr-color, qr-caption, and qr-position to control size, color, caption, placement mode, and a master on/off toggle for print versions.

[0.5.2] - 2026-07-02

Added

• Optional exercise marker — optional: true on exo/exo-define/exo-show shows a built-in star icon before the label; customize with exo-setup(optional-symbol: ...) or set to none to disable
• Correction-given marker — corr-given: true shows a dumbbell icon indicating the printed correction will be distributed to students; customize with exo-setup(corr-given-symbol: ...)
• margin badge style — side-label layout with a fixed-width left column and a horizontal rule; the 10th badge style
• Per-display overrides in exo-show — optional, optional-symbol, corr-given, corr-given-symbol can override bank metadata for a specific display call

[0.5.1] - 2026-06-19

Fixed

• Documentation link — the “Documentation (PDF)” link now resolves correctly. It previously pointed to a commit that did not contain docs/manual.pdf (the file had been excluded by a *.pdf gitignore rule), returning a 404 on GitHub and Typst Universe.

[0.5.0] - 2026-05-22

Removed

• g-exam integration — the exam-question, exam-question-many, and exam-select wrapper functions have been removed, along with the unconditional @preview/g-exam import. The display-mode: "exam" flag (which shows points in the badge via exo-show) is retained and requires no external dependency.

[0.4.0] - 2026-02-11

Changed (Breaking)

• New display control system: Replaced solution-mode, fallback-to-correction, and append-solution-to-correction with three clearer parameters:

  • display: Controls what to display - "ex" (exercises only), "sol" (solutions only), "both" (default)
  • corr-display: Controls which content type to show - "solution" (default), "correction", "mixed"
  • corr-loc: Controls where solutions appear - "after" (default), "pagebreak", "end-section", "end-chapter"

• New exercise-level flags:

  • sol-in-corr: If true, correction already contains solution (show only correction, not both)
  • show-corr: If true, show correction in “mixed” mode for this exercise

Removed

• solution-mode parameter (replaced by show and corr-loc)
• fallback-to-correction parameter (behavior controlled by corr-display)
• append-solution-to-correction parameter (use corr-display: "mixed" instead)
• solution-in-correction-style parameter (no longer needed)
