Original code

The original code has been developed to create a VS extension to support GIFT text format.

The code can be found here: https://codesandbox.io/s/gift-templates-iny09

We decided to reuse this code because it provides a preview close to how looks like quizzes in Moodle. Which is a well-known platform at École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS).

Related NPM packages:

In order to reuse the code, we had to install the following NPM packages:

• katex : A fast, easy-to-use JavaScript library for TeX math rendering on the web.
• marked : A markdown parser and compiler. Built for speed.
• nanoid : A tiny (108 bytes), secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript.
• gift-pegjs : A GIFT parser for JavaScript using PEG.js.
• @types/katex : TypeScript definitions for katex.
• @types/marked : TypeScript definitions for marked.
• @types/nanoid : TypeScript definitions for nanoid.
