New Question type for 1.5 in CVS

Hi all,

There is a new question type which can be used in 1.5 in CVS "contrib/quiz_renderedmatch_qtype"

This is a new question type that allows for several additions
and relaxations of the existing matching format.

- as few as one subquestion
- many incorrect subanswers (distractors) and one correct answer per question
- rendered html for subanswer and subquestions, this allows
for TeX or images etc. to be included in the quiz.

enjoy! smile

Why didn't you extend the existing matching type with more options?

My fault, it's a pretty big change in the interface and it seemed like a good idea at the time to make it a new type...like it would be easier to test/distribute a new qtype than a replacement for the standard one based on (what was when Jeff started) pre-beta code.

However, that is pretty much what it is (a clone of the standard matching with new features) so it should be pretty easy to bolt on if desiredsmile.
