What is the default text format for GIFT?

As the subject says - if a text format isn't specified in a GIFT file for import, how will the question be treated? plain text? moodle auto-format? something else?

I know - I could try it to find out - but I have to write some notes this evening without access to the system so I'm hoping I can get a quick answer here!

Thanks

Thanks Mary - thats doubly useful.

I can use it to test out things when writing my notes - and then the question authors can use it to test their files.

I didn't know it existed.

Thank you for asking this question, I just learned something!

I did not know the answer, so I went to look at the code (question/format/gift/format.php), and the answer is much more interesting than I expected.

By default, it is Moodle auto-format, however, you can write something like

[html]<p>Here is some HTML question text</p>

That is, with the format you want in square brackets. The format names recognised are moodle, html, plain and markdown.
