The auto-multiple-choice prepare command extracts working
documents from the source file describing the multiple choice
questionnaire. Information to be extracted depends on the
--mode argument value. In any mode, the source
filename must be given as an argument.

auto-multiple-choice prepare makes the subject file (answer
sheet to be printed and given to the students), the correction

containing information about the positions of the boxes on the
pages). The following arguments can be used:
--out-sujet

--out-calage
