PDF: Formatting of exercises

[martin-henz]

Exercises are currently formatted like this:

A couple of suggestions:

(1) Spacing

In the original textbook, exercises look like this:

I think this spacing is nicer: "Exercise" flushed left and no vertical space between "Exercise" and the text.

(2) Link to solution

I find the text "Link to solution" at the top a bit clumsy. How about just letting the users click on "Exercise 1.7" instead?

Would that be too obscure?

Alternatively, we could provide a link at the bottom:

Provided a link at the bottom

The link at the bottom may sometimes go to the next page, which is not so desirable. Example:

LaTeX is quite powerful for such things. For example, you could add
\hfill Solution
to make sure that "Solution" is flushed to the right.

solution link should be like in example image now

Oh, yes. We abandoned the links to the solutions in the PDF when we prepared the MIT Press print edition. At the moment, we only generate the official print edition (or something close to that, with bug fixes and minor improvements). Feel free to revive a version that has solutions. Would be nice, eventually as a companion for teachers.
