Description
The goal of formal languages block is to provide an API for managing formal languages - a well-known mathematical formalism, that defines a set of strings, constrained by rules.
Installation
To work CorrectWriting question type needs some additional components. They all need to be installed in order for question to work. You could download all them in one archive (from GoogleCode) or separately.
If you downloaded one archive, unpacking it you should found "question" and "blocks" folders. Copy them in the main directory of Moodle installation (the one containing config.php) - it will install everything in the correct places.
If you downloaded all parts separately (for example because Moodle plugins Directory don't allow them to be downloaded together), you should get 3 archives. Place "correctwriting" and "poasquestion" folders in the question/type folder of Moodle installation. "formal_langs" should be placed in the blocks folder.
After having files in place login as administrator and go to the notifications page.
User interface
After adding formal languages block to course, a teacher could manage language visibilty by clicking on eye icons. The dimmed languages with disabled visibility will not be shown in CorrectWriting or other plugins, that use API of formal language block.
Administrator also, can edit global visibility of formal languages, using global settings, located in administrator menu (see pictures for details).
A central part of admin page will look just like below.
