German is a difficult language.
Please help us to solve a typical (but big) German language teaching problem.
We need in quiz,question type "cloze", different results if somebody writes capital or noncapital letters
f.e.
"gut" or "Gut". It may not mean the same in German language,
In the same sentence:
gut = good
Gut = estate
maybe we should add a checkbox to select "case sensitive"
A discussion in the German section has been started, but found no solution. To prevent, that this modul is changed manually by a lot of schools to fit request, we should change this in core as soon as poosible please.

Hi Peter,
To solve your problem you might consider installing the REGEXP question plugin. For instance, the following code in your Cloze question will work as shown on screenshot below.
Type the German equivalent of these English words (mind the capitalization)! good = {:REGEXP:=gut#OK~Gut#wrong: do not use a capital letter please!} estate = {:REGEXP:=Gut#OK~gut#wrong: use a capital letter please!}
Joseph
