    1: \label{Authoring_Responseparam_Parameter}
    2: 
    3: 
    4: If \textbf{responseparam} appears, it should be inside of a response
    5: tag. It defines an externally adjustable parameter for the question,
    6: which the question can then use to allow other users to customize the problem
    7: for their courses without changing the source code of the problem.
    8: Possible attributes are:
    9: 
   10: \begin{itemize}
   11: \item \textbf{default}\index{default}: required. Specifies a default value
   12: for the parameter.
   13: \item \textbf{name}\index{name}: required. Specifies an internal name for
   14: the parameter. 
   15: \item \textbf{type}\index{type}: required. Specifies the type of parameter:
   16: \textbf{tolerance}, \textbf{int}, \textbf{float}, \textbf{string},
   17: or \textbf{date}.
   18: \item \textbf{description}\index{description}: string describing the
   19: parameter. This is what is used to talk about a parameter outside
   20: of a problem.
   21: \end{itemize}
   22: \textbf{parameter} is exactly the same as \textbf{responseparam},
   23: but should appear outside of a response tag.
