In the process of generating .txt files, ChatGPT sometimes makes syntax mistakes that can quietly prevent text2qti from generating .zip files needed later on.

I've created a list of syntax errors that Nathan and I came across followed by solutions that worked for us.

No Correct Answer Marked - Add an asterisk (*) next to the correct option
Excess Content at Beginning / End of File - Remove excess lines of code
Left / Right Angle Brackets - Find / Replace with < to < and the same with >
Code Blocks - Remove any, as they aren't processed properly by text2qti
Essay Questions - Make sure to put --- after ... Feedback (see Additional Content)
Multiple Answer Questions - If you don’t have feedback for each answer, then you want the generic feedback to go right after the question (see below)
