`file`	character. A specification of a (list of) exercise files.
`n`	integer. The number of copies to be compiled from `file`.

`name`	character. A name prefix for resulting XML file.
`resolution, width, height, svg, encoding`	arguments passed to `xweave`.
`points`	numeric. Number of points for the questions.
`modulename`	character. Module name.
`subjectname`	character. Subject name.
`subjectdescription`	character. Subject description.
`timer`	numeric. Number of seconds for each question.

exams2tcexam generates XML exams that can be imported into the TCExam software of Asuni (2012). Currently, the subset of HTML(-like) commands that is supported in TCExam is rather limited, e.g., tables and figures cannot be directly included.

A list of exams as generated by xexams is returned invisibly.
