Question Types
The front matter every Markdown Quizzes question needs, and the three question types available.
All questions are simple markdown files with a bit of front matter to tell the script what it needs to know to display and grade the question. At a minimum, the front matter needs to include the question type. The question might also require the correct answer in the front matter.
The front matter would look something like this.
---
title: An optional title for the question
type: (Question type: MC, TF, FIB)
answer: (The correct answer)
---
So, let's say we want a multiple choice question. It would look like this.
---
title: My first multiple choice question
type: MC
answer: A
---
All questions share the following properties in front matter. Some question types may have additional properties.
| Property | Notes |
|---|---|
| title | The name of the question. This is optional and currently not used, but may be in the future. |
| type | The type of question — either MC (multiple choice), TF (true / false), or FIB (fill in the blank). This is the only required field. |
