Cards
Definition

# Word or question
Explanation or definition of this word, or the answer to the question.
will result in
Multiple choice
This is a typical multiple choice question. The question starts with # and the choices follow. Only one answer is correct, and is indicated by a *, the other questions are preceded by a -. As an example, the following text
# Multiple choice question, (only one answer is right)
- Choice 1
* Choice 2 (this is the correct answer)
- Choice 3
- Choice 4
gets rendered as
Multiple answer
Multiple choice questions with multiple possible answers is also possible. Here again the question starts with # and the options follow. Preceding each option is a box [ ] that is filled with a * or a x if it is correct. For example
# Multiple answer question
[*] Option 1 (this is a correct answer)
[ ] Option 2
[*] Option 3 (this is a correct answer)
[ ] Option 4
results in
Open question
Open questions are also supported. The words that have to be filled in should be surrounded by underscores _. Multiple answer possibilities can also be given by seperating them with vertical bars |. As an example, the card
# Fill in the gaps
The symbol € is for the currency named _Euro_, and is used in the _EU|European Union_.
behaves like this
