GIFT (file format)
The GIFT (General Import Format Template) format is a "wiki-like" markup language for describing tests, originally proposed by Paul Shew in 2003.[1] It is associated with the Moodle course management system.[2][3]
Question types in GIFT
GIFT allows someone to use a text editor to write multiple-choice, true-false, short answer, matching, missing word and numerical questions in a simple format that can be imported to a computer-based quizzes. The content is an UTF-8-encoded text file.
Example:
//Comment line
::Question title
:: Question {
=A correct answer
~Wrong answer1
#A response to wrong answer1
~Wrong answer2
#A response to wrong answer2
~Wrong answer3
#A response to wrong answer3
~Wrong answer4
#A response to wrong answer4
}
