Converted to Question XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <quiz>

XML mapping

As I understand the basic mapping is as follows:

Glossary

<ENTRY>

   <CONCEPT>Gorilla</CONCEPT>
   <DEFINITION>Gorillas are the largest of the primates.</DEFINITION>

</ENTRY>

Quiz question

<question type="shortanswer">

   <questiontext>Gorilla</questiontext>
   <answer>Gorillas are the largest of the primates.</answer>

</question>

Note

This code is simplified and won't work in praxis.
