Hi Rodolphe,

I don't have a tutorial because it's part of an undocumented list of hacks of HotPotatoes (this one is called "Custom Reading Hack"). These undocumented features live in a file called undoc.txt in your installed dir of HotPotatoes).

From "undoc.txt":
>*<
Pressing Control+Shift+Z will insert the following code into the current textbox:

<div style="display: none;" class="HiddenReading"></div>

If any text is selected at the time of pressing the keys, it will be enclosed in the div. This is only useful in the Question field of JQuiz.

Anything enclosed within this div will be shown in the reading text div when the question is displayed, enabling you to provide individual reading texts for each question.

If you are using this, please note that the Show All Questions button will be hidden as soon as such a reading text is displayed, to avoid confusion, and don't forget to check the checkbox on the Reading Text screen to include a reading, otherwise there will be no reading text box in which to show the text.
>*<
Mind that a recent post on the !Y-group brought again an IE-only issue, namely that flash audio and video don't display on IE on a webpage when this hack is used to create such an exercise. So it's only good for text and images.

For this (IE) reason I thought of my Chinking and Virtual pagination Customizations so as to find (kind of) a way round and be able to include flash audio and video.

Cheers and good luck!
Stan

Hi Stan,
How are you ? It's Rodolphe from Soundguideweb.
I can't find a tutorial on your website to make this http://ictlt.teachereducation.org.uk/level1-elementary/fruits.htm
I thought there was one, but I may be mistaken.
Any way you could help please ?
Sincerely.
Rodolphe
