When the question is processed, the backslash is removed and is not saved in Moodle.
+It is possible to change the category into which the questions are added within the GIFT file. +You can change the category as many times as you wish within the file. All questions after the modifier +up to the next modifier or the end of the file will be added to the specified category. Up to the first +category modifier the category specified on the import screen will be used. Note that for this to work +the from file: box must be ticked on the import screen.
+ +To include a category modifier include a line like this: + +
+$CATEGORY: tom/dick/harry ++ +or simply + +
+$CATEGORY: mycategory ++ +...the first example specifies a path of nested categories. In this cae the questions will go into harry. The +categories are created if they do not exist. +
Other Options:
Short Answer questions can be made case sensitive by changing "0" to "1" in the following line:
$question->usecase = 0; // Ignore case
Import Category
+ +The Category: drop-down is used to select the +category into which the imported questions +will go.
+ +Some import formats (GIFT and XML Format) permit the category +to be specified inside the import file. In order for this to +happen the from file box must be ticked. If it is not, +the questions will go into the selected category regardless +of any instructions in the file.
+ +When categories are specified inside an import file, if they +do not exist they will be created.
