Can someone help me to understand the following inconsistency in the format description? The specification says that special characters like '=' or ':' need to be escaped in GIFT descriptions. However in the examples section we have the one <pre>::Q1:: 1+1=2 {T}</pre> where the '='-character is not escaped. Is there a clear answer for that? Even the various tools seem to have different opinions. Moodle importing will unescape these characters as long as they are not inside '{}', Ethan Ou's VSCode plugin and the [https://fuhrmanator.github.io/GIFT-grammar-PEG.js/editor/editor.html GIFT Question Editor] require proper escaping, this [https://pypi.org/project/pygiftparserrgmf/ Python GIFT parser library] accepts both versions but doesn't unescape outside of '{}' and the [https://www.tsugi.org/gift2qti/ GIFT2QTI converter] even fails when escaped. --[[User:Silvan Wegmann|Silvan Wegmann]] ([[User talk:Silvan Wegmann|talk]]) 14:47, 21 November 2021 (UTC) | |||
:If I create your 1+1=2 question in Moodle itself and export it to GIFT, the = character will be escaped.

- If I create your 1+1=2 question in Moodle itself and export it to GIFT, the = character will be escaped. As the developer of the GIFT-grammar-PEG.js project, exporting to GIFT from the latest version of Moodle is the "oracle" I use to answer such questions.
