#196 Small enhancement to the task list

[John Teichman]

The team that built the course had a difficult time inserting hyperlinks into the Task List task text field because it is a single line and short (imagine writing a 200 charachter string with an anchor tag in a tiny 50 character text field - can be maddening).

I'm entering it as a bug as they complained vocifericely about the usability of this item.

I have 3 suggestions in preferred order:

1) Can we use the HTML editor field instead of a text field? That way they have more space and can add hyperlinks with a little "assistance"

2) If we can't do that can the text field instead be a text area (and larger)? That way they can see what they are doing.

3) barring the two above cna we just make the field a lot larger so they don't have the first part of the task they are entering scroll out of view?

Thanks!

Lets use the html editor for entering task items.

Mark, can you update this?

Yes. This fix only goes into our latest code right (Moodle 1.7 TEO ver2)?
