The Moodle ace_inline filter

Richard Lobb, Michelle Hsieh

Version 1.3.7, 19 December 2023.

Github repo: https://github.com/trampgeek/moodle-filter_ace_inline

Introduction

A Moodle filter for displaying and optionally interacting with program code by utilising the Moodle CodeRunner question type plugin. Unlike most Moodle filters, this one is mostly implemented in JavaScript rather than PHP and operates on the rendered HTML rather than the original text. This filter is applied over all HTML elements, therefore can be displayed throughout courses where the user can edit/create HTML elements.
