[Aimmath-developers] subquestions

[Manolis M. <M.M...@ed...>]

Hi there,

   happy new year to you all !!

    First of all, Gustav, I think the website is down again.
 
    Secondly I have some questions to ask and request some examples or 
more documentation to clarify things more. As I think I mentioned before 
we are witting a converter from questions written in AIM to an XML 
format that is then translated to the WALLIS format --- this will 
(eventually) help (simple) questions from AIM to be used in other 
systems as well. I am bit confused with subquestions (mainly because I 
've never written any in AIM) so I would appreciate if I can have some 
examples on how people use them and an answer to the following questions
   
1) The documentation says that local shouldn't be used in subquestion. 
What is the reason for this and do people follow this recommendation ?

2) What "flags" are there allowed in subquestions ? Eg. would one put 
subquestions in subquestions ?

3) What are the "historical reasons" that allow a subquestion to end 
with an "end". Are there many files around that still have that and more 
importantly I hope that people witting new files with subquestions don't 
follow this because our plan is to ignore it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Manolis
