[Xerte] Re: Query about model answer pagetype in XOT

[Kemp Johnathan]

"but if there's a generic solution in the works"

All I am doing at the moment is setting up individual page templates for
every page so that Xerte 2.18 can offer individual page templates and also
use the individual xwd files to construct a templates.xwd file. So the new
individual page templates will be based on the existing rlm and xwd code.

I don't have the time available at present to develop a new version of the
Model Answer page. However if there already exists a more comprehensively
featured version of the page and I can get hold of the rlm file and xwd
details then as long as it follows the same initialisation as all the other
pages it should not be to problematic to turn it into another individual
page template.

Then again it may be better to wait until the release of xerte 2.18 when
people can have a go at creating their own new pages for inclusion in Xerte.

Kind regards

Johnathan
