Hi...
Silly question time.
I'm putting together some exam papers and trying to develop a system that the
entire School/Faculty can use. Everyone has a different idea how questions
should be set out, but we've finally reached some agreement and just about
finished the stuff required. The only *real* hiccup is that for the ol'
multiple choice questions I'd like to use {enumerate} (using parbox'es - quick
hack), but of course the enum depth sets the label used. If I fall back and
use {list} then it will look fine on the screen (having A,B,C,D), but will put
the arabic values in the .aux files (as per default depth).
What is the easiest way to change the default label for different depths,
without hacking \@list, etc. I don't mind *having* to revert to raw TeX, but
I'd like others to also follow it, and I'm obviously having trouble coming up
with a simple solution. Lamport obviously says to go away and use
\renewcommand (and I've tried it on makekabel, etc), but I've had no luck...
Any ideas?
Cheers.
Chris
