Quiz types and syntax

Quizzes are written in a markdown-like syntax. Quizdown is valid markdown and the raw quizdown code can therefore be easily inspected in common markdown editors like GitHub, Typora, ...

• Each quiz question begins with a header: ### How are you?. The level of the headline has no influence on the appearance.
• You can add images, code, bold text, links using markdown formatting.
• Quizdown uses highlight.js for syntax highlighting.
• Blockquotes are used for rendering (hidden) hints and comments.

Here is an example that shows many features (edit in the 🚀quizdown editor):

#### Who is the person in the picture?

1. [x] Tim Berners-Lee
    > This is the correct answer!
1. [ ] Alan Turing
1. [ ] Barbara Liskov
1. [ ] Larry Page
    > This is not Larry Page ;)

Hints and comments

The user can activate hints by pressing a button. If no hint is provided the button is grayed out. Comments to answers are shown at the result page (only if the user selected an answer that contained a comment).

Multiple choice question (🚀 editor)

Multiple choice questions use unordered task lists for marking the right answer(s):

### What's the capital of Germany?

> It's the _largest_ city in Germany...

- [x] Berlin
    > this is the correct answer.
- [ ] Frankfurt
- [ ] Paris
    > Paris is the capital of France.
- [ ] Cologne

Single choice question (🚀 editor)

Single choice questions use ordered task lists. Only one answer can be marked as correct:

### Select your superpower!

There exist many superpowers in the world but one of them is better than everything else. Do you find it?

1. [ ] Enhanced Strength
1. [ ] Levitation
1. [x] Shapeshifting
    > Correct. This the best superpower!

Sequence (🚀 editor)

Users can drag and drop the answers into the correct order. The answers are always shuffled when presented to the user.

## Please bring the following into sequence!

That's **super easy**!

> Three is larger than one...

1. One
2. Two
