That's awfully obtuse, it seems to me. If you want these things to be helpful to people, they should remain easily accessible.
I agree. The reasoning behind this idea is that it fulfills two requirements in my mind for incorporating hints:
1) The reader should be able to see one hint at the time (and not see the other hints).
2) The number of pages for each exercise should be minimized. Ideally, there should be only one page per exercise.
I'm not sure that's really important. For each exercise there could be a hint#1...hint#n and solution#1...solution#n
The idea I presented has the downside of being inconvinient to readers. I don't like it. Perhaps someone else could come up with a better idea?
Low-tech solution: "scroll down for next hint" "scroll down for solution"
If you're willing to give up on the goal of "one page per exercise," and would like to go instead with a finer-grained structure, we can accomplish any restructuring you wish through the Wiki's administrative interface; just let us know. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
