mchoice_moodle

The <code>exams</code> package does not support multiple-choice questions with multiple correct answers; it only allows for one answer to be chosen.
However, Moodle does support such questions. The function reads the XML file generated by <code>exams.forge</code> and makes changes
for all <code>mchoice</code> questions:<ul>
<li><code>&lt;single&gt;...&lt;/single&gt;</code> to <code>&lt;single&gt;true&lt;/single&gt;</code>, and</li>
<li>modifies the attribute <code>fraction</code> in the tags <code>&lt;answer fraction="..."&gt;...&lt;/answer&gt;</code>.
If <code>fraction</code> is less than 0, it is set to zero, and if <code>fraction</code> is greater than 0, it is set to 100.</li>
</ul>If the <code>file</code> does not end with <code>.xml</code>, then <code>.xml</code> is appended. At the end, the modified XML code is stored in <code>newfile</code>.

The main aim is to further facilitate the creation of exercises based on the package 'exams'
by Grün, B., and Zeileis, A. (2009) <doi:10.18637/jss.v029.i10>. Creating effective student exercises
involves challenges such as creating appropriate data sets and ensuring access to intermediate values
for accurate explanation of solutions. The functionality includes the generation of univariate and
bivariate data including simple time series, functions for theoretical distributions and their approximation,
statistical and mathematical calculations for tasks in basic statistics courses as well as general tasks
such as string manipulation, LaTeX/HTML formatting and the editing of XML task files for 'Moodle'.
