Talk:The OU PMatch algorithm

I hope this is the best place to discuss the PMatch question type... I am currently testing it and have tons of questions and remarks.

• Question 1

How can I match a correct answer including a comma, e.g. "The French flag is white, blue and red."?

match (The French flag blue white and red.) gives error message: Missing closing bracket in code fragment "match (The French flag is blue".

First let's start by asking the context that requires the comma. You clearly need 'white' 'red' and 'blue'. So

   1 are you bothered about the order? Is red blue white OK?
   2 are you bothered that the punctuation is correct? Do you want first colour then comma then second colour then and then third colour?
