Class XMLtfQuestion

java.lang.Object
  exe.question
      exe.tfQuestion
          exe.XMLtfQuestion

public class XMLtfQuestion
extends tfQuestion

This class allows true-false questions to be displayed along with GAIGS snapshots. It inherits the functionality of the tfQuestion class but outputs its information in the new GAIGS XML format.

In order to use XMLtfQuestion or any of question's other derived classes in a script-producing program, the script-producing program must import the package exe.

An XMLtfQuestion is added to a showfile by placing a question reference at the end of the snapshot in which the question is to appear and then by appending the question information to the question section at the end of the file.

Question reference for an XMLtfQuestion:

<question_ref ref = "id"/>

Question information for an XMLtfQuestion:

<question type = "TFQUESTION" id = "id">
<question_text>The question text appears here. </question_text>

<answer_option is_correct = "yes">true </answer_option>

<answer_option is_correct = "no">false </answer_option>

<question>
