Embedding edu-sharing folders in WYSIWYG fields

Since version 4.2 edu-sharing folders and their contents can be embedded in Moodle WYSIWYG fields.

This allows you to provide a variety of documents in your course without having to link each one individually.

Please note that only the objects in the embedded folder are displayed and not its subfolders.
