iBooks Author: Creating Review questions with XML
iBooks Author can import XML files to create a Review widget.
In a plain text editor, such as TextEdit, you can create an XML document containing questions and answers for a Review widget in iBooks Author.
Use these elements to create your document:
Element | Attributes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
review | Enter the elements of your Review widget in this element. | |
question | type | Enter the elements of your question. These values are supported for this attribute:
|
text | alt | Enter the text of your question in this element. Optional: Use alt to specify accessibility text, if different from the regular text. |
main-image | src alt | Specify the filename of the main image in your question. Not used for multiple-choice or multiple-choice-images. Optional: Use alt to specify accessibility text. |
choice | correct-answer src target-x target-y alt target-alt | Enter the attributes and text (or image) of the answer.
|
line-break | This element does not have any content, so empty-element syntax is recommended. It specifies a line break in your question or answer text. |
For example, a Review with a multiple-choice-images question, a drag-label-to-target question, and a multiple-choice question may look like this:
<review>
<question type="multiple-choice-images">
<text>Which of the following do <line-break />all living things need to survive?</text>
<choice image-src="oxygen.gif" alt="Oxygen" />
<choice image-src="water.jpg" alt="Water" correct-answer="yes" />
<choice image-src="carbondioxide.jpeg" alt="Carbon Dioxide" />
</question>
<question type="drag-label-to-target">
<text>Drag the labels to the appropriate area of the atom</text>
<main-image src="atom.jpg" alt="Picture of an atom" />
<choice target-x="0.23" target-y="0.34">Neutron</choice>
<choice target-x="0.61" target-y="0.75">Electron</choice>
<choice target-x="0.12" target-y="0.34">Proton</choice>
</question>
<question type="multiple-choice">
<text>What is the world’s largest body of water?</text>
<choice> The Arctic Ocean </choice>
<choice> The Mediterranean Sea </choice>
<choice correct-answer="yes"> The Pacific Ocean </choice>
<choice> The Atlantic Ocean </choice>
</question>
</review>
Once you've created your XML document:
Save the file as a plain-text document with a .review filename extension. Save it or move it to a folder.
Then, copy each image you used in your Review widget to the same folder that contains the .review file.
Drag just the .review file into your iBooks Author book where you want the review to appear. iBooks Author will create the Review widget where the you dropped the XML file.
You can also continue editing your Review widget with the Widget inspector in iBooks Author.
