queXML

Subsections?

Asked by Anton Farber

Hi Adam,

it's me again :) For a new project I would like to use QueXF/-XML again as I have made a good experience using it for my first project. The new questionnaire requires the questions to be grouped in sections and subsections:

A Section
  1 Subsection
     Questions
  2 Subsection
    Questions
B Section
  1 Subsection
and so on

Is this possible with QueXML? For now I've tried the following.

<section>
<sectionInfo><position>before</position>[...]</sectionInfo> // For Section A
<sectionInfo><position>during</position>[...]</sectionInfo> // Subsection 1
</section>
<section>
<sectionInfo><position>during</position>[...]</sectionInfo> // Subsection 2
</section>

This kinda works but obviously it's not an ideal solution (=I have to remove the automatically generated "Section B:" but the "section header" still uses up space). Is there any better way to do this?

Ys, Anton

Hi Anton,

This is one way to proceed.

Alternatively you could use the <directive> element of the first question in the sub section, and set the <administration> to "before". This will add a small heading before that question (but separate from the question). The only issue with this is that the numbering will not restart.

Otherwise you could edit the code and create a new parameter to the addSection function which is something like "subsection" and in that case make the display more minimal.
