Exporting questions from a Category

This function allows you to export a complete category of questions to a text file.

Please note that in many file formats some information is lost when the questions are exported. This is because many formats do not possess all the features that exist in Moodle questions. You should not expect to export and import questions and for them to be identical. Also some question types may not export at all. You are advised to check exported data before using it in a production environment.

The format(s) currently supported are:

GIFT format

GIFT is the most comprehensive import/export format available for exporting Moodle quiz questions to a text file. It was designed to be an easy method for teachers writing questions as a text file. It supports Multiple-Choice, True-False, Short Answer, Matching and Numerical questions, as well as insertion of a _____ for the "missing word" format. Note that Cloze questions are not currently supported. Various question-types can be mixed in a single text file, and the format also supports line comments, question names, feedback and percentage-weight grades. Below are some examples:

Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{~Grant ~Jefferson =no one}

Grant is {~buried =entombed ~living} in Grant's tomb.

Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{FALSE}

Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{=no one =nobody}

When was Ulysses S. Grant born?{#1822}
