RandomText

Background and rationale

Mostly MoinMoin text is static unless the page obtains text from an external source.

For some teaching activities, it can be useful to return a random text from a group of possible texts.

Description

The RandomText macro inserts a randomly selected text from a list provided as parameter. The texts provided are unquoted and separated by a vertical bar (|). If no text is provided, then nothing is inserted.

Usage

<<RandomText([Text1|Text2|...|TextN])>>
