Quality loss on pictures (pdf)

I observe a loss of quality on the pictures after the xml conversion (pdf file):

Original file:

File in Moodle:

This is probably due to the convert process of Imagemagick.

description questions

I have several problems written using AMC that I'd like to convert to Moodle. (And in the future, I'd like to continue writing my problems using AMC before converting them to Moodle, because its much easier than using Moodle's web interface.)

These problems consist in several paragraphs of introduction (and often some pseudo-code and tikz figures), followed by several AMC questions. All of this is written in one \element{}{...} block.

Here is an example:

\element{analyse}{

  Some descriptive text presenting the next two functions.

  \begin{multicols}{2}
    \inputminted{c}{exam-201901-fun1.c}
    \columnbreak
    \inputminted{c}{exam-201901-fun2.c}
  \end{multicols}

  \begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{question}{anal1}\bareme{b=1,m=0}
  Question1 text.
 \begin{choices}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \correctchoice{...}
\end{choices}
\end{question}

\begin{question}{anal2}\bareme{b=2,m=0}
  Question 2 text?
\begin{multicols}{3}
  \begin{choices}[o]
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \correctchoice{...}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \wrongchoice{...}
\end{choices}
\end{multicols}
\end{question}

More description.

\begin{question}{anal3}\bareme{b=1,m=0}
  Question3 text.
 \begin{choices}
  \wrongchoice{...}
  \correctchoice{...}
\end{choices}
\end{question}

  \end{multicols}
}

Currently amc2moodle will only convert the questions, but those questions alone are meaningless without the introductory text. Note that we can also have some text between questions, as between question 2 and 3 above (although I could live without).

One plan would be to extract the text that is part of \element{} but not part of any question to create type="description" questions. The \element{} macro gives the category of the question but we need to name the descriptions somehow. And to ease the creation of the moodle quiz, it would best if the various moodle questions (so this includes the descriptions) have name that are alphabetically ordered.

What would you think about the following plan: if amc2moodle detects that \element contains description text, then all questions names would be prefixed by some number representing the index of this question. In addition to help the author ordering the question on moodle, the number prefix would make each question name unique, allowing all descriptive questions to be named simply description. For the above example, the names would be:

1.description
2.anal1
3.anal2
4.description
5.anal3

For extracting the description questions, I'm thinking that maybe one option is to open some tag in \element{}, then close it upon entering \begin{question} and reopen it when exiting the question. Then we need some way to remove those tags if they are empty.

What do you think?

PS: the above example also raises another issue, which isn't very important to me at this point: removing multicols seems OK when it's used to arrange questions or answers, but it could also be legitimately used in the text of a question.

Suppress CompleMulti

Hi,
how to suppress the CompleMulti option that seems to be set to true by default ?
I tried the AMC macro \AMCnoCompleteMulti but it is not recognized : 1 undefined macro[\AMCnoCompleteMulti].

Problem with white spaces in `\scoring` command

I observed that

\baremeDefautS{e=-0.5,b=1,m=-0.5}

works fine, but if white spaces are present after the comma like in

\baremeDefautS{e=-0.5, b=1,m=-0.5}

it fails since the scoring parser (in convert.py) do not trim white space in the body of the string.

Choosing the percentage of a score

Hi Benoit,

is there a way to choose the percentage of a score that applies to an answer?
For example in a true/false question, choosing 100% for a good response and -100% for the bad response.

Fred

Don't hesitate to create an issue if you have some question...

moodle2amc issue with accent text amd gift questions

1. When converting moodle xml format to AMC tex, moodle2amc does not remove accented characters, from group and question names. These letters are accepted in moodle but not in AMC. amc2moodle should change, for example, an 'à' by an 'a'. Otherwise it is only useful in English and for other languages a painful revision must be done by hand.
2. When converting moodle xml format to AMC tex, options are only included in the output tex file if they are in [moodle] format. Moodle XML stores questions in two formats [moodle] and [gift] (https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/GIFT_format). Gift is simpler and widely used. moodle2amc converts [gift] questions text, but no answers. Options must be added by hand in a long and painful process.
   Hope these issues are easy to solve.

[solved] problem to parse file if accent are present in the path

The accented character, for instance in the path name, are not fully supported in lxml.etree with python 2.

Problems with mhchem package

Hi,
thanks for this very nice code. I am trying to use it with my test but I have a lot of chemical formulae written using the package mhchem which is quite used for chemical notations. Is it possible to add some biding for this package? The syntax is quite simple, it introduces a new latex environment "\ce{}" in which the chemical formulae or equation is typed. For example
\ce{H^+} gives a result simular to $\mathrm{H}^+$.
At the moment amc2moodle complains that the symbol ^ can be used only in math mode so I get an XML file full of errors.
Is it possible to solve or at least bypass the problem?

Thanks,
Raffaele

regression in translating < and > symbols: they are not output as &lt; and &gt; anymore

Hi!

I recently had to reconvert a question I had successfully translated with an older version of amc2moodle, but the new version failed to render online. My question had a large equation containing symbols < and >. The produced XML output was incorrectly producing those symbols verbatim, instead of escaping them with < and >. This in turn caused the online rendering of the question to be completely broken, because the browser would see opening tags in my equation when there was none, and then it would attempt to close those to fix things up.

I know that version 2.5.0 correctly escapes < and >, as this is the version I ended up using.
Version 2.6.0 is broken in that regards.

In patch e02307b, you can see the regression appearing in this snippet:

Changing <answernumbering> tag value

Hi
is there any way to change the tag value ? By default, it seems to be set to "abc". I would like to set it to none or "123".

NOT numbering of moodle answers

When I use AMC, each possible choice has a box to tick, and these choices are not numbered.

Testing amc2moodle on a small example, I see that each possible answer gets numbered (a, b, c, ...).
This can be quite confusing. Consider:

What is the first letter of the alphabet?

Select one:
◯ a. b
◯ b. z
◯ c. a

Clearly I'd prefer to see

What is the first letter of the alphabet?

Select one:
◯ b
◯ z
◯ a

How do you feel about forcing <answernumbering>none</answernumbering> for all questions?

The XML file could be loaded in Moodle. The following question is obtained:

But if you update the question or parameters of the question in Moodle (for instance only by clicking on Enregistrer les modifications et continuer (Save and continue), you obtain the following result:

As you see some parts of the answers disappear. This trouble seems to be due to two elements:

• latexml add some % in the long equations that is not necessary.
• my Moodle server uses a WYSIWYG editor that could alterate the result provided by amc2moodle

Does amc2moodle work with pyparsing 3?

After upgrading to pyparsing 3.0.7, I get the following error when running amc2moodle

Traceback (most recent call last):

Deploy on pypi

Prepare sources and deploy on pypi.

Local scoring is not taken into account anymore.

The local scoring is not taken into account anymore since the xpath search was performed only for first level child nodes.
We need to add stricter tests.
This has been fixed in feature-amc2moodle-addquestiontype branch and the issue will be solved after its merging.

converted file "truncated"

I tried several conversion from moodle to amc, and every tex file ends weirdly, I tried with smaller category without success.
There is no error in the terminal.

Weird behavior in the case of text in element but outside question

Many authors of AMC quizz add text outside questions and automultiplechoice will render it correctly but `amc2moodle' seems to have difficulties to consider it (which can be normal). However in certains cases question(s) could not be imported in Moodle.

The following example does not work.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[francais,bloc,correc]{automultiplechoice}

\begin{document}

\element{test}{
  uioygbjkbk, hhHLJmq jkjlkqjs qjlkjqs lk
  aa
  \begin{question}{qtest}
    Loui
    \begin{reponses}
      \mauvaise{ hein}
      \mauvaise{oh}
      \bonne{ah}
      \mauvaise{ouf}
    \end{reponses}
  \end{question}
}
\exemplaire{1}{
  \restituegroupe{test}
}
\end{document}

One solution seems to add a linebreak before the `\begin{question}' command:

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \usepackage[francais,bloc,correc]{automultiplechoice}
  
  \begin{document}
  \element{test}{
    uioygbjkbk, hhHLJmq jkjlkqjs qjlkjqs lk
    aa

    \begin{question}{qtest}
      Loui
      \begin{reponses}
        \mauvaise{ hein}
        \mauvaise{oh}
        \bonne{ah}
        \mauvaise{ouf}
      \end{reponses}
    \end{question}
  }
  \exemplaire{1}{
    \restituegroupe{test}
  }
  \end{document}

The XML formatter is able to isolate the text before the \begin{question} in a paragraph <p>...</p> and this syntax seems to be accepted by Moodle.

amc2moodle v2.9.0 was used to diagnose this trouble.
