-/// This Moodle class provides all functions necessary to import and export
-/// one-correct-answer multiple choice questions in this format:
-///
-/// Question text
-/// A) Choice #1
-/// B) Choice #2
-/// C) Choice #3
-/// D) Choice #4
-/// ANSWER: B
-/// (blank line next not necessary since "AN" at the beginning of a line
-/// triggers the question input and causes input to start all over.
-///
-///Only ONE correct answer is allowed with no feedback responses.
-///
-///Be sure to reword "All of the above" type questions as "All of these" (etc.) so that choices can
-/// be randomized

+/**
+ * Aiken format - a simple format for creating multiple choice questions (with
+ * only one correct choice, and no feedback).
+ *
+ * The format looks like this:
+ *
+ * Question text
+ * A) Choice #1
+ * B) Choice #2
+ * C) Choice #3
+ * D) Choice #4
+ * ANSWER: B
+ *
+ * That is,
+ * + question text all one one line.
+ * + then a number of choices, one to a line. Each line must comprise a letter,
+ * then ')' or '.', then a space, then the choice text.
+ * + Then a line of the form 'ANSWER: X' to indicate the correct answer.
+ *
+ * Be sure to word "All of the above" type choices like "All of these" in
+ * case choices are being shuffled.
