\gradingtable options with \xsimsetup

[maphy-psd]

It has no effect when you set the \gradingtable options with \xsimsetup.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xsim}

\xsimsetup{
	grading-table/template = default*,
}

\begin{document}

\begin{exercise}[points=4]
\end{exercise}

\begin{exercise}[points=4,bonus-points=10]
\end{exercise}

\gradingtable[type = exercise]

\end{document}

The grading table uses the default template and not the default*

BTW: grading-table/type = exercise has no effect, too.

Yes, it does have an effect, just not for the two options you mention. This is due to the definition of \gradingtable:

\NewDocumentCommand \gradingtable {O{}}
  {
    \group_begin:
      \keys_set:nn {xsim/grading-table} { template = default , type = , #1}
      \xsim_setup_template:nnV {table} \l_xism_grading_table_template_tl
        {
          \providecommand* \ExerciseTableCode {}
          \providecommand* \ExerciseTableType [1] {}
          \providecommand* \ExerciseType {}
          \tl_set_eq:NN \ExerciseType \l_xism_grading_table_exercise_type_tl
          \renewcommand* \ExerciseTableCode {}
          \renewcommand* \ExerciseTableType [1]
            { \XSIMifblankTF { \ExerciseType } {##1} { \ExerciseType } }
        }
      \xsim_use_template:nV {table} \l_xism_grading_table_template_tl
    \group_end:
  }

The line \keys_set:nn {xsim/grading-table} { template = default , type = , #1} sets both options again. This behavior can be argued about but meanwhile you can just renew the command to do what you want:

\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \xsim_setup_template:nnn {nVn}
\RenewDocumentCommand \gradingtable {O{}}
  {
    \group_begin:
      \keys_set:nn {xsim/grading-table} {#1} % <<<<<
      \xsim_setup_template:nVn {table} \l_xism_grading_table_template_tl
        {
          \providecommand* \ExerciseTableCode {}
          \providecommand* \ExerciseTableType [1] {}
          \providecommand* \ExerciseType {}
          \tl_set_eq:NN \ExerciseType \l_xism_grading_table_exercise_type_tl
          \renewcommand* \ExerciseTableCode {}
          \renewcommand* \ExerciseTableType [1]
            { \XSIMifblankTF { \ExerciseType } {##1} { \ExerciseType } }
        }
      \xsim_use_template:nV {table} \l_xism_grading_table_template_tl
    \group_end:
  }
\ExplSyntaxOff

I found a real bug, though: \xsim_setup_template:nnV should really be \xsim_setup_template:nVn…

[maphy-psd]

Thx for the answer. I asked because in the docs, chapter 12. Grading Tables (p.26) describes to set the option by \xsimsetup as one way.

[cgnieder]

I know. This is why I changed the behavior in commit 21b5c4a to match the one described in the manual.
