Hello everyone. I am trying to write a quiz for a site. Questions are in multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank etc. The example questions i have can be seen below.
I'm trying to plan how am I going to code this. I was thinking of having a table with two columns one with questions and one with answers. The part that troubles me is that tutors should be able to upload quizzes in the example format given below. The upload function is not a problem as I already have this implemented this to upload files to registered students pages.
Could anyone give me some suggestions as where to start with this? I just want to know how you guys would approach this task bearing in mind the tutor being able to upload the quizzes in the below format.
Many thanks in advance

`In ~text~ transmission signals are transmitted in only one direction; one station is the transmitter and the other is the receiver.

`The term ~text~ is used to refer to the transmission path between two devices in which signals propagate directly from transmitter to receiver with no intermediate devices other than amplifiers or repeaters used to increase signal strength.

`When signals at different frequencies share the same transmission medium the result may be ~text~ noise.
intermodulation

`The designer of a communications facility must deal with four factors: the data rate that is used for digital information, the amount of noise and other impairments, the level of error rate that is acceptable, and the ~text~ of the signal.
bandwidth
`Twisted pair, coaxial cable and optical fiber are examples of ~text~ media.
guided
`In a ~text~ guided configuration more than two devices share the same medium.
multipoint
`The simplest sort of signal is a _~text~ signal, in which the same signal pattern repeats over time.
periodic
`The ~text~ bandwidth of a signal is the width of the spectrum.
absolute
`The ~text~ bandwidth is the band where most of the signal energy is concentrated.
effective
`A technique known as ~text~ is used to provide a flicker free image without increasing the bandwidth requirement.
interlacing
`A means of transmitting analog signals without regard to their content is ~text~ transmission.
analog
`To achieve greater distances in digital transmissions ~text~ are used.
repeaters
`Thermal noise is also referred to as ~text~ noise.
white
`~text~ noise is noncontinuous, consisting of irregular pulses or noise spikes of short duration and of relatively high amplitude. It is generated from a variety of causes, such as lightning, and faults and flaws in the communications system.
Impulse
`The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communication path under given conditions is referred to as the ~text~.
channel capacity
`The ratio of the power in a signal to the power contained in the noise that is present at a particular point in the transmission is the ~text~ ratio.
signal-to-noise
`~text~ noise is due to thermal agitation of electrons. It is present in all electronic devices and transmission media and is a function of temperature.
Thermal
`Because of delay distortion some of the signal components of one bit position will spill over into other bit positions causing ~text~ interference, which is a major limitation to maximum bit rate over a transmission channel.
