I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description

I have some problems which take no args, and a couple which do. When I try to compile with 1 required arg and a default value, pdflatex fails to compile, complaining that I need to provide a value (when using \thisproblem) or breaking the environment (using \useproblem).

MWE

Download (430B)

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[draft]{probsoln}

\begin{document}
\begin{defproblem}[1][{2}]{diffsin}
Differentiate $f(x)=\sin(#1x)$.
\begin{onlysolution}%  
  \begin{solution}
    $f’(x) = #1\cos(#1x)$
  \end{solution}
\end{onlysolution}
\end{defproblem}

\begin{enumerate}
	\item \useproblem{diffsin}
	%Same thing with \foreachproblem{\item\thisproblem}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}


Evaluation

The default arguments are only used by \thisproblem together with the package option usedefaultargs. Like this:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[usedefaultargs]{probsoln}

\begin{document}
\begin{defproblem}[1][{2}]{diffsin}
Differentiate $f(x)=\sin(#1x)$.
\begin{onlysolution}%  
  \begin{solution}
    $f'(x) = #1\cos(#1x)$
  \end{solution}
\end{onlysolution}
\end{defproblem}

\begin{enumerate}
  \foreachproblem{\item\thisproblem}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
This is documented in the manual, but I will add a note to make it clearer.
