Add article about message generation

Open filipsch opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

As you write chains of SCTs, every function 'contributes' to the feedback message that is generated in case the student made a mistake. All of these 'chunks' of feedback can be adjusted by setting arguments such as missing_msg, expand_msg and incorrect_msg. An article should be added to pythonwhat that:

  • explains in understandable terms how message generation works
  • gives examples about it
  • explains how you can customize messages generated by the SCT
  • explains which automatically generated messages are not great and in which cases (e.g. when using has_equal_value() with set_context(), see https://github.com/datacamp/pythonwhat/issues/317), and thus could use a custom message (for now).
