I am trying to create a random question generator on perchance.org for practice in responding to french questions. I have a generator that selects questions from a list of questions (“outputa”) (https://perchance.org/4ewrtclbl5#edit).
For example, I have:
<h1>[title]</h1> <h2>[title2]</h2> <h3>[title3]</h3> <br> Select Random Question
<br><br>
<h4>[title4]</h4> <div>
[outputa] </div>
and defined the following:
title=Random Question Generator title2=Second Language Evaluation – Oral Language Assessment title3=French Level B & C title4=Question: title5=Des trucs et des astuces:
outputa //Decriver ou expliquer au present Où travaillez-vous? Où vous situez-vous au travail? Expliquez et précisez le rôle de votre ministère. Expliquez et précisez le rôle de votre direction. …
//Raconter au passé Comment votre travaille a affecté par la pandemie ? Durant votre carrière, qu’est-ce qui a été le plus satisfaisant jusqu’ici? …
This works well right now, but I would like to improve the generator to be more helpful. Essentially, within the list of questions, there are a number of different styles of questions (“Decriver ou expliquer au present”, “Raconter au passé”, etc.). Each style of question has a strategy to follow when responding to it, so I would like to add some standard text under the question to provide some tips for responding based on the type of question.
I was thinking this could be done by first randomly select a style of question from one list, and then based on the style of question selected, I could select a random question of that style, and then print the random question along with the standard text. Is there a straightforward way to do this?
Thank you in advance!!

The syntax is specific to Perchance, a website that 99% of the general public have never heard of.
Oh thanks! I will repost this there.
Sounds like you are about to write a relational database.
The dropdown could help you with selecting questions in related to the style of questions.
From our friend ChatGPT:
Certainly! You’re on the right track with your idea of selecting a style first and then selecting a random question based on that style.
Here’s how you can structure this on Perchance:
- Define the question styles and tips:
style Decriver ou expliquer au present Raconter au passé [... more styles ...] tipsForStyle [style:Decriver ou expliquer au present] Tip for this style: [Tip for Decriver ou expliquer au present] [style:Raconter au passé] Tip for this style: [Tip for Raconter au passé] [... more tips for each style ...]- Define questions for each style:
questionsForStyle [style:Decriver ou expliquer au present] Où travaillez-vous? Où vous situez-vous au travail? [... more questions for this style ...] [style:Raconter au passé] Comment votre travaille a affecté par la pandemie ? Durant votre carrière, qu’est-ce qui a été le plus satisfaisant jusqu’ici? [... more questions for this style ...]- Structure the main generator output:
output <h1>[title]</h1> <h2>[title2]</h2> <h3>[title3]</h3> <h4>[title4]</h4> [style] [questionsForStyle] [tipsForStyle]- Use this in the HTML area:
<div> **[output]** </div>With this structure:
- A style will be chosen randomly.
- A question will be chosen from that style.
- The tip for the selected style will be shown below the question.
You can further modify and expand upon this structure to customize the output to your liking!
