Install

pip install gift-to-moodlexml

Usage

Assume you have some (extended) GIFT file:

$CATEGORY: OOP2/Intro

[markdown]Java supports use of `varargs` (variable arguments) for parameter passing {T}

[markdown] What pattern does this Code use?
```java
public class Logger {
    private static Logger instance;
    private String filename;
    private Logger() {}
    public static Logger getInstance() {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new Config();
        }
        return instance;
    }
    public String getFilename() {
        return filename;
    }
    public void setFilename(String filename) {
        this.filename = filename;
    }
}

{ ~ Factory ~ Configurator = Singleton ~ Generics ~ Builder ~ Creator ~ Observer }

Then you can parse it to an XML to upload to moodle:

```python
import gift_to_moodlexml
from pathlib import Path
questions_files= list(Path("./").glob("*.gift"))
all_questions = []
for q_file in questions_files:
    with open(q_file, "r") as file:
        content = file.read()
        questions = content.split("\n\n")
        questions = [q for q in questions]
        question = questions[0]
        all_questions.extend(questions)
gift_to_moodlexml.generate_xml_from_questions(all_questions, output_file="quiz_package.xml")
