\section{Text Fill-in Questions}
\textsf{Exerquiz} can now create text fill-in questions, questions
in which the response is text (as opposed to a mathematical
expression). The underlying JavaScript compares the user's
response against acceptable alternatives, as supplied by the
author of the question. If there is a match, the response is
deemed correct. For example:
\redpoint\begin{oQuestion}{ex1}%
Who was the first President\footnote{of the United States}?\
\RespBoxTxt{0}{0}{4}{George Washington}{Washington}
{G. Washington}{Geo. Washington}
\end{oQuestion}
\medskip\noindent
The command \cs{RespBoxTxt} is the one that creates a text fill-in question. Its
syntax is
\begin{verbatim}
\RespBoxTxt[#1]#2#3[#4]#5<plus listing of alternatives>
\end{verbatim}
\noindent\textbf{\hypertarget{paraRespBoxTxt}{Parameters:}}
\begin{enumerate}
\item[\ttfamily\#1:]Optional parameter used to modify the appearance of the
text field.
\item[\ttfamily\#2:]This required parameter is a number that indicates
the filtering method to be used. Permissible values of this parameter are
\begin{enumerate}
\item[\ttfamily-1:] (The default) The author's and user's answers are not filtered
in any way. (Spaces, case, and punctuation are preserved.)
\item[\ttfamily0:] The author's and user's answers are converted to
lower case, any white space and non-word characters are removed.
\item[\ttfamily1:] The author's and user's answers are converted to
lower case, any white space is removed.
\item[\ttfamily2:] The author's and user's answers are stripped of
white space.
\end{enumerate}
See the JavaScript function \texttt{eqFilter} in \texttt{exerquiz.dtx} for
program code details. Additional filtering options may be added.
\item[\ttfamily\#3:] This parameter is a number that indicates the compare
method to be used. Permissible values of this parameter are
\begin{enumerate}
\item[\ttfamily0:] (The default) The author's and user's answers are
compared for an exact match. (These answers are filtered before they are
compared.)
\item[\ttfamily1:] The user's response is searched in an attempt to
get a substring match with the author's alternatives. Additional comparison
methods may be added.
\end{enumerate}
See the JavaScript function \texttt{compareTxt} in
\texttt{exerquiz.dtx} for the program code details.
\item[\ttfamily\#4:] Optional, a named destination to the
solution to the question. If this parameter appears, then a
solution must follow the question, enclosed in a \texttt{solution}
environment. If the forth parameter is a `\texttt*', then an automatic
naming scheme is used instead.
\item[\ttfamily\#5:] This required parameter is the
number of alternative answers that are acceptable. The alternative
answers are listed immediately after this parameter. (The example
above specified that $4$ alternatives follow.)
\end{enumerate}

\begin{shortquiz}[comboexamp]%
The following series of examples illustrate different combinations
parameters~\texttt{\#2} and~\texttt{\#3}. All questions are in
response to the question ``Who was the first president of the
United States?''
\begin{questions}
\item Remove all white space and non-word characters, convert to lower case,
then look for a match.
\RespBoxTxt{0}{0}{4}{George Washington}{Washington}
{G. Washington}{Geo. Washington}
Of course, ``George Washington'' and ``G. Washington'' are correct, but
so too are ``georgewashington''and ``gwashington''.
\item Remove all white space, convert to lower case, then look for an
exact match. Here we don't remove non-word characters, such as punctuation.
\RespBoxTxt{1}{0}{4}{George Washington}{Washington}
{G. Washington}{Geo. Washington}
For example, answers ``G. Washington'', ``georgewashington'' and
``g. washington'' are correct, but ``gwashington'' is not.
\item Remove all white space, then look for an exact match. (Here,
we do not remove punctuation and do not convert to lower case.)
\RespBoxTxt{2}{0}{4}{George Washington}{Washington}
{G. Washington}{Geo. Washington} The
response ``G. Washington'' is correct, but ``g. washington'' is not.
\item Now lets put parameter~\texttt{\#3} equal to \texttt1. Here, we convert
to lower case, remove white space, and look for a substring match.
\RespBoxTxt{1}{1}{4}{George Washington}{Washington}
{G. Washington}{Geo. Washington} Note that ``President Washington'',
``General Geo. Washington'', and ``Washington, George'' are correct.
Also ``Fred Washington'' is correct, since it matches the second
alternative, Washington. (If we eliminate Washington as an
alternative, then ``Fred Washington'' would be judged incorrect,
let's test that theory:
\begin{oQuestion}{wash2}\RespBoxTxt{2}{1}{3}{George Washington}
{G. Washington}{Geo. Washington}\end{oQuestion}
\end{questions}
