Package: giftsnippet
Gift SnippetTheGIFT formatallows for managing student questions for learning management systems within text files. Integrating images requires a rather cumbersome approach by using data URIs. Additionally, if you want to integrate source code one has to transform the source into an image and than integrate the image via a data URI.Gift Snippet aims to simplify integrating images and source code images into gift questionsThe following gift question demonstrates the problem:[html] <p>What is the correct output of the following code snippet?\:</p><br>

}Rendered in Moodle the question would look like this:To generate the data uri images from real source code files or existing images and keep it in sync with a gift filegiftsnippetcan be used.InstallationpipinstallgiftsnippetUsageLet's assume you have the following folder structure:questions.txt
code_samples/
    example_01.py
    example_02.py
images/
    sample_image.png
    ...In yourquestions.txtfile you would like to integrate a formatted version of the Python code from e.g.code_samples/example_01.py. To do that you could use thedata-gift-snippetHTML-Attribute and reference the respective code file within animgtag:[html] <p>What is the correct output of the following code snippet?\:</p><br>
