Purpose

This PR sets up a test environment to evaluate:

  1. The new exercise_style feature from sphinx-exercise PR FEAT: Add solution_after_exercise style option executablebooks/sphinx-exercise#81
  2. The latest quantecon-book-theme release (v0.10.1)

Changes

  1. Updated environment.yml:

  2. Updated lectures/_config.yml: Enabled new configuration option

    • Added: exercise_style: "solution_follow_exercise"

Testing Scope

This lecture series contains 20+ exercises across multiple files that will be affected by the new exercise styling:

  • wealth_dynamics.md
  • odu.md
  • mle.md
  • ols.md
  • likelihood_ratio_process_2.md
  • finite_markov.md
  • uncertainty_traps.md
  • jv.md
  • cass_fiscal.md
  • likelihood_ratio_process.md
  • prob_meaning.md
  • And more...

Next Steps

  1. Build the lectures to evaluate the new styling with the latest theme
  2. Review HTML output to assess visual improvements
  3. Provide feedback to sphinx-exercise maintainers

  • we may need to update all admonitions styles (such as collapsible hint) in our theme to convert them all. Currently all exercises and solution directives are taken care of by sphinx-exercise.

@jstac this has been updated and we have updates for sphinx-exercise and quantecon-book-theme ready to role.

I left the "Show" on the RHS so that it is a common location for all collapsible blocks (such as hint and tip admonitions). I have a screenshot of the only situation where they are side-by-side.

Is this consistency ok? or would you rather "Show solution" instead?

  • running a build to test default behaviours of sphinx-exercise to make sure they are as expected, then will merge and release a new version and setup lecture-python.myst with the new style setting.
