Extension:Quiz/es

The Quiz extension is the quiz building tool adopted on the Wikiversity. This extension aims at being:
 * Simple in its syntax and its use; powerful in its possibilities.
 * Open to suggestions and improvements (by facilitating the addition of new types of questions).

Uso

 * Learning project on quizzes at the English Wikiversity
 * Wikiversity:Help:Quiz -- documentation for the quiz extension (full) (on Wikiversity).
 * Wikiversity:Help:Quiz-Simple -- a simpler and colourful documentation intended for beginners, younger users and anyone else who does not need the full version (on Wikiversity).

Other help pages are hosted on the Wikiversities in order to allow for working examples.

Development
Quiz was conceived to facilitate the addition of new question types. If the basic types (multiple choice with single/multiple responses) are not enough for you, you have the possibility of easily creating and integrating the type of questions which you need. For that you must have some knowledge of PHP.
 * Adding a new question type

  The first thing that you must do is choose a syntax (the simplest possible) for your question type.

The restrictions are:   Choose a new code name for your question type (example: "questionTypeName") as well as a symbol (currently the symbol "" is used for single response multiple choice because it looks like a radio button, and the symbol "[]" is used for multiple response multiple choice because it looks like a checkbox).   Add a "case" at the beginning of the parseParameters's "switch", as follows :   Add a parser function to Quiz.php This function must convert a question object from quiz syntax to HTML and set a state to the question (right, wrong, error, NA or unmarked),  according to syntax errors and eventually posted answers.
 * The syntax of the question's header is fixed. The question has to be placed between curly brackets - i.e. { and }.
 * For consistency, it is recommended to use || to mark the beginning of the feedback section ("correction").

Name the function "questionTypeNameParseObject" and implement as follows :   Write down your syntax specifications which will be added to the help. Please read first the existing help.   Once this is all done, contact me to include officially your question type inside the extension.
