This plugin is based on Moodle's XHTML question format plugin, and provides an additional export format for questions, which presents them in an easily readable, clear format, also suited for printout.

Questions are downloaded as an .html file, which can be viewed or printed out at leisure.

This is intented to give teachers an easy way to review a lot of questions at once. It is not suited for printing test sheets, since correct answers are included.

All native question types except for "Drag & Drop on Image" and "Drag& Drop on Marker" are supported, oumultiresponse Question type is also supported, and all other questions will display in standard format, showing question text and answers.

    Thank you for this is very useful plugin! smile
    Two idea to make it perfect:
    1. Sometimes it would be useful to include the 'name of the question' in the export.
    2. Is it possible, to export embedded pictures? (we have several multichoice questions with pictures in the question text)

    Best wishes,
    Csaba

    you're very welcome, I always felt that simple functionality was missing from moodle smile

    1. the name of the question is already included in the export - it is written in small font along with the question type under the question text and answer.
    2. unfortunately, I could not find a way to export embedded pictures. if you open an issue on github about it I will try to look into it again and maybe add that feature at a later point (or maybe someone else can help? smile

    Stefan,
    I really don't have any way to calculate how many hours (hundreds if truth be known) you have saved me by creating this plugin.
    Thank you very much sir!!

    First of all, great plugin smile
    But is it possible to show the wrong answers in matching questions in red, too? I.e. if I have given more options to choose from than objects to match?

    I cannot see any tables in my questions, using this export format. Is it correct?

    Is there a way to display the images I have imported? Thank you!

    unfortunately, that is not supported at the moment. the only pictures that are displayed are those that are directly linked via URL. pictures uploaded into moodle will not be displayed.

    I am not sure if I am the only one who thinks this is an anomaly with this export but if I open it in MsWord then the True/False questions do not show the correct and wrong answers in the color you defined. I looked in your format.php and found the culprit as I may.

    Your code has this line ($expout class=\"mcanswer $class \">{$answertext}) but if I change it like this ($expout class=\"$class mcanswer\">{$answertext}) then it shows the answers in color. It seems that if mcanswer if before $class then the text color does not change. If I have it wrong please help as it was the only way I could see the right and wrong answers int he True/False questions.

    I also took the liberty of adding the following addition to the True/False as I wanted to see the question feedback: $answerfeedback = strip_tags($answer->feedback) and then adding it at the back of either TRUE or FALSE print line.

    Regards, Cobus

    Is there a version of this plugin for Moodle version 3.11? If not will the most current version of the plugin work with Moodle 3.11?

    Hi Stefan! Wondering if you might be willing to update this important plugin for Moodle 4.2 or 4.3?
