Thank you for your quick reaction. This seems to solve the issue.

Thanks for the report, good catch. The default of the "enumerate" argument was changed. And the bug is that the paragraph formatting was missing in this case.

To get the enumerated layout use:

exams2moodle("dist2.Rmd", cloze = list(enumerate = TRUE))

If you want to get a proper un-enumerated version, you can install the development version of the package here from R-Forge. I've just inserted the right paragraph formatting for the default with enumerate = FALSE.

Thanks for catching this!

We have encountered a formatting issue when preparing cloze exercises using the exams package for upload to Moodle. The output appears to vary depending on the computer (we are guessing it depends on version of the package installed):

On a system running exams version 2.4-0, each question appears on a separate line, and questions are numbered as expected.
On a system running exams version 2.4-1, all questions are displayed on a single continuous line without proper formatting.
We are not entirely sure whether this discrepancy is due to differences in the package versions or another underlying reason. However, as the output from version 2.4-0 is preferable (as illustrated in the attachment), we have refrained from updating to the newer package version for now.

Could you please advise on how to achieve the moodle xml output format from version 2.4-0 in the latest versions of the exams package? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
