ScilympiadToLaTeX Extension

An extension that converts a test on scilympiad to LaTeX code and downloads all images in seconds.
From the event supervisor dashboard, click on \"Create/Update Online Tests\", then click on the key icon to access the key. On this page, click on the extension in the toolbar, and click generate, and the program will download a text file with the LaTeX code for the test and all images from the test.
Important notes (read before using):
- Currently does not support conversion of scilympiad math to LaTeX, but you can either format manually or copy the math from the scilympiad editor.
- This extension isn’t perfect and will need modifications such as page breaks or image size adjustments to be added to the files it generates, so you probably need at least a little LaTeX knowledge to use this extension.
- Keep all settings as the default unless you really know what you are doing because the defaults are both most tested and adequate for most use cases. Other settings are for edge cases that might appear or personal preference (in the case of the environment for question types)
- This extension truncates point values (e.g. 1.5 points turns into 1 point) because the exam class does not support decimal point values like this. Therefore, if your test includes decimal point values, you will have to manually change them in some way.
