+<P>This function allows you to export a complete category of questions to 
+   a text file.  
+
+<p>Please note that in many file formats some information is lost
+   when the questions are exported. This is because many formats are
+   not possess all the features that exist in Moodle questions. You should 
+   not expect to export and import questions and for them to be
+   identical. You are advised to check exported data before using
+   it in a production environment.</p>

+<ul>
+<p>GIFT is the most comprehensive import format available for importing 
+   Moodle quiz questions from a text file.  It was designed to be an easy 
+   method for teachers writing questions as a text file. It supports Multiple-Choice, 
+   True-False, Short Answer, Matching and Numerical questions, as well as insertion 
+   of a _____ for the "missing word" format.  Various question-types can be 
+   mixed in a single text file, and the format also supports line comments, question names, 
+   feedback and percentage-weight grades.  Below are some examples:</p>
+<pre>
+Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{~Grant ~Jefferson =no one}
+
+Grant is {~buried =entombed ~living} in Grant's tomb.
+
+Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{FALSE}
+
+Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{=no one =nobody}
+
+When was Ulysses S. Grant born?{#1822}
