Herman,
The problem comes from the line break that you introduce in the Page descriptions.
Instead of
Description 1:
The numbers
1 through 100
you should have:

Description 1:
The numbers 1 through 100
etc.
If you do this then the buttons will display correctly (see attached screen shot).
You're right to point out that the line breaks do not cause such problem in Moodle 1.6. But they should not be there in the first place.
Hope that helps,
Joseph

Hi Karen. There are two ways to do this.

1- automatic

In the HTML editor, select the whole text you do not want autolinked and click on the "Prevent automatic linking" button (see attached screenshot).

2- manual

In the HTML editor, click on the Toggle HTML source button and enclose the part of your text you do not want autolinked with these tags: <nolink>...</nolink>.

Hope that helps,

Joseph

NOTE.- Unfortunately, the first method sometimes ruins your text format, which is why I prefer the second method.

Hi Chris

I quite agree that a unification of terminology is needed for the Lesson and Quiz questions. I already suggested this some time ago in this discussion.

Now I'd like to suggest using only these 3 terms which I think are quite clear. Any question can have :

one (or more) expected answer(s) (or teacher answers)
one (or more) student answer(s)
with each expected answer can be associated a feedback (or feedback message)

And I suggest not using the word response at all, which leads to confusion.

Now, this should not be confused with CORRECT/INCORRECT.

e.g. in the case of the shortanswer (or my own regexp answer type) in answer to a given question, a teacher can create a number of expected answers, some of which are to be considered 100% correct or 0% < 100% correct or 0% correct (i.e. incorrect). When using the quiz or lesson questions for teaching rather than for testing purposes, it is important to always provide relevant feedback to the students, as well for answers deemed correct as for answers deemed incorrect.

Hi Elaine,

This is quite normal behavior. The online help for the shortanswer question type says:

You can use the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard to match any series of characters. For example, use ran*ing to match any word or phrase starting with "ran" and ending with "ing". If you really do want to match an asterisk then use a backslash like this: \*

So your question's answers should be entered as:

=B4\*C4 and =C4\*B4

Joseph

PS.- You should really have posted this to the Quiz forum, not the General problems forum.
