Hi Jamie. It''s when I save a question. An example of an answer I used to test was 'They were Thomas Cromwell and Thomas Cranmer'
I've tried looking for tutorials on the OU site but can't find any.

@llywelyn do you see this error when trying to save a new question as a teacher or when attempting the question??
If you see it when you are creating a new question as a teacher then I expect it is because the pmatch expression you have written has errors.

@tim please could you turn on debugging mode ie. turn on the display of errors and set the debugging level to developer as described here : http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Debugging
Then report the error you see here and we can look into what might cause it.

i'm receiving the message 'unrecognised expression' above any possible answers I type. What am I doing wrong?
