Aesop's Fables lesson needs serious cleanup

hanclintonnyx commented 3 years ago

I posted over on the Moodle forum, but maybe this is a better place. If I clean up the Aesop's Fables lesson, could we get it merged into the source? I'm having to do a ton of cleanup on it to give it basic usability. I love the idea of using Aesop's fables as content for typing practice, but it doesn't seem like anyone tested it out at all before including it. Issues so far:

Awkward carriage returns still there from being copy/pasted from Project Gutenberg or wherever
Awkward items such as [ILLUSTRATION] and * -- also artifacts from copy/pasting that are totally unnecessary for typing practice
I just figured out why the very first lesson comes to a screeching halt: the quotation mark used is Unicode U+201C, Left Double Quotation Mark. Normal computer keyboards are wanting to enter U+0022, Double Quotation Mark, so there is absolutely no way to progress past that point. (see screenshot). Same goes for Right Double Quote.

I have also answered over in the Moodle forum. As mentioned there, the fables were included by accident. There has been a LOT of health issues going on at my house and I just forgot that I had them installed, but needing editing, before release. I have a version with most of the needed changes, but it will take me a while to test enough of the exercises to make sure they are usable. I will probably also break the one huge lesson into a bunch of much smaller ones.

The files were cleaned, tested, and are now included with current versions of MooTyper.
