Thanks for the link! I've seen the gapfill plugin before but the documentation was very useful. It definitely does what I want but I try to not add a lot of extra stuff to our Moodle site for simplicity's sake. I do like how the syntax is there for multiple options with the pipe symbole, very elegant.
i.e. [word 1| word 2]
I wish such a simple addition could be added to core Moodle . Great work on the plugin!
