Description

Add an option to specify the size of the box for an essay question answer. I think this could be benefical for students as my impression is that if they see a large box they think then answer must also be long.

This is not as easy at I thought it would be, becuause there is not a suitable table in the database to store this option on. Therefore it is a big change, and therefore it is not safe to do this just before the 1.7 release. So although it is a good idea, it will have to wait for later.
