Tim "...the funny foreign language you speak over on your side of the pond"

May I add that the US date format has always struck me as totally illogical.

US formatting : MM/DD/YY: 03/15/2011

as opposed to 2 "logical" ways for date formatting:

from day to year (European) DD/MM/YY: 15/03/2011 (or 15-03-2011)

or from year to day (from a mathematical point of view, e.g. for date sorting): YY/MM/DD: 2011/03/15 or 2011-03-15

Hi Britt,

1.- See this discussion: Automatic linking in quiz questions. PLease vote for MDL-24996 if you want that bug fixed and then you will have exactly the feature you want, to turn Glossary autolinks OFF in quizzes in Moodle 2.

2.- "Auto linking glossary items into quizzes is plain silly." If you use quizzes for testing students, yes. On the other hand, glossary links can help the student think, if they don't give away the solution to quiz questions, of course.

Guido,

Does this mean you understand what the OP (Britt) wants to do with "manual linking"?

Joseph
