This filter allows questions from the question bank to be embedded anywhere that users can input HTML. This can be used in various ways. It can be a way to make learning materials more interactive. For example you may wish to embed question in a Book, or a Page, or even a Label. Or perhaps a student asks in a forum about some tricky grammar concept, and you have a question that illustrates your reply, well now you can include that qustion in your reply, so the student can immediately test their understanding.
It is designed to be used with the associated Atto editor plugin which makes it easier to set up the embedding.
This plugin was created by the Open University, UK.

Is there any documentation regarding how to add an ID to a question? I've just installed and configured your plugin.
One more question - are the embedded questions tied to activity completion as well as capable of receiving grades? More specifically, if I student answers the embedded questions correctly, will the course be marked as complete (as per my course configurations)?
At the moment, this is just about being able to use Moodle questions to embed a bit of interaction within any content.
Obviously, once students start interacting with things, one might want to keep a long-term record of that in a useable form (that is, in addition to the log entries). However, that would be a lot more work. We might think about doing that some time in future, but it probably won't be any time soon. For now, we just wanted to build something simple, which is what we did.
What is the meaning of the Question variant field when embedding a question?
So, almost always, it is safe to ignore that option (but we included it for completeness).
2. It does not work in Moodle mobile yet, and as far as I can tell, it would be very hard to make it work. The mobile app has very limited support for filters so far.
3. The exact answer to this question is that you can only embed questions if you have the moodle/question:useall/mine capability in the course context of the course you are in. With the normal rules setup, that means that you need to be Editing teacher or higher.
we are using Moodle 3.5.4. Although the capability moodle/question:usemine is granted to editingteachers the list of categories from the question bank is empty. This is also true if we try it as admin (and I think admins at least really have the capability
