Python Moodle GIFT parser.

pygiftparser's Issues

Scape character.

The parser doesn't work with escape character () to escape lexical characters.

Add matching questions.

The parser doesn't parse matching questions.

Feedback.

Added to the parser feedback option.

https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/GIFT_format#Feedback

Allow question with answers in the same line.

For now only this forma is accepted:

question {
    list of answers one per line
}

Question in multiple lines.

GIFT files can has multiline questions like this:

[html]¿Qué elemento de red representa el siguiente símbolo?
<br>
<img width\="200" src\="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oEMazpptpR8/UWOET9aDYgI/AAAAAAAAAH0/XZFW7gxWrgI/s1600/Cisco-Router-Commands-images.jpg"/>
{
	=%100%Router
	=%100%Enrutador
}

Like you can see, open brace can begin in the line just below the question and the question has more than one line.

Test malformed answer.

When answers are malformed then parser should trigger an error.

Scape characters.

Space characters have to be removed from string questions and answers.

Extra blank lines at the end of the file.

Parser doesn't accepts extra lines at the end of the file.

Case sensitive.

This https://docs.moodle.org/38/en/GIFT_format#Making_questions_case_sensitive is not covered.

Multiple choice with several options valid percentage.

Multiple choice with multiple right answers

That is, using checkboxes, not radio buttons:

What two people are entombed in Grant's tomb? {
   ~%-100%No one
   ~%50%Grant
   ~%50%Grant's wife
   ~%-100%Grant's father
}

Error question reference.

When you import several files and there is an error in one of them then the question reference is wrong.

For example, in a file a.txt there is an error in question 3 but when you import several files like a.txt, b.txt and c.txt, for instance, then the parser informs the error is in question 85 instead of 3, for example.

Test numerical questions.

There are not numerical questions in the example files.

Spacial character issue: colon.

When parser stumble upon a colon it fails because it's key work in the GIFT language (::).

Matching answers: at least three.

When an answer is "matching answer" type then it must has at least three options.

Add missing word questions.

The parser doesn't parse missing word questions.

Bad reference worng parsed question.

In this example:

Está bien {}

Está bien

Este está mal {

Está bien {}

The error is: Syntax error at 'Está bien ' in question number 3.

So the number of question is good, 3, but not the context text "Está bien".

Add category.

At this moment the parser doesn't accept category specification.

General feedback field not supported

Hi, thanks for your work, I tried to use this library for playing with different quiz formats and I discovered that not it doesn't support "general feedback" option for questions. Link to docs:
https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/GIFT_format#Format_symbols
####general feedback

In the quiz, it looks like this:

// question: 47  name: Algebraic Expressions
::Algebraic Expressions::[html]<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">Rate your knowledge on Algebraic Expressions</p>{
	=<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">5</p>
	=<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">4</p>
	=<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">3</p>
	=<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">2</p>
	=<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">1</p>
	####<p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">Thanks for answer!</p>
}

And now it is parsed like this:

(=) Option: <p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">5</p> [1.0]
(=) Option: <p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">4</p> [1.0]
(=) Option: <p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">3</p> [1.0]
(=) Option: <p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">2</p> [1.0]
(=) Option: <p dir\="ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">1</p> [1.0] (###<p dir\)
(=) Option: "ltr" style\="text-align\: left;">Thanks for answer!</p> [1.0]

[HTML also seems to be not supported straight out of the box, but I roughly fix it after parsing. Maybe better to fix it in preprocessing, but it's not so easy]

This seems like not a big issue, but I'm stuck with adding new regexp or modifying existing ones. Could you help me?
