Rubric or user-specified chunk types

[David Dalpiaz]

• rubric = TRUE to add comments that only appear in a *-rubric.pdf document.
• xyz = TRUE to add a user specified chunk and file type?

My thought on the next iteration is to define a custom markdown engine in a similar manner to how bookdown generates theorem, definition, lemma, et cetera environments. May be a bit more robust than the current approach.

We could still add a flag for "xyz" tagging. Likely need to figure out the best way to specify how the flag should propagate to the two output results. Maybe create a document object with the intended overflags for each one?

[David Dalpiaz]

The former is probably the way we should go. You raise a good point about tag propagation. Currently students are exposed to solution = TRUE.

So, I've toyed around with this. The issue we'll run into with going from:

```{asis, solution = TRUE}

```

to:

```{solution}

```

is this assumes only text is being displayed. Having the solution = TRUE flag allows us to still use the r engine, e.g.

```{r, solution = TRUE}

```

How would you feel if I just removed the tagging architecture on the rendered Rmd files? (e.g. delete solution = TRUE, et cetera.)

Just removing the tagging in the output is what I had in mind.
