Filters
From Carleton Moodle Docs
(Redirected from 38/en/filter/manage)Filters can be used to add links, insert multimedia players, convert Mathematical expressions or emoticons into images and more.
A filter may be enabled at the site level and then removed as needed at the course or activity level. Thus a teacher can disable glossary auto-linking in a quiz for example. Watch this screencast for further details.
