[tw] Re: a plugin to convert asterisks to radio-buttons
How would you want to specify the field being saved to/loaded from? First, to have it more generic, I would want not to show the question and not to add a letter in front of every choice. So, given the syntax described, maybe a field name could follow the Q: What value would you want to save to the field? An integer or a letter, provided any reasonable number of choices is allowed, say from 1 (for documenting purposes it is sometimes enough to show only the relevant radio button) to 10 in a group . Finally, I would love to have the flexibility of arranging the buttons in a row as well as a column. Thanks. R.
