A hugo shortcode for writing quizzes with a markdown-like syntax, called quizdown.

• supports markdown text formatting, images and syntax highlighting.
• different quiz-types: single-choice, multiple-choice, sequence.
• support for hints and explanations.
• options for color theme, question shuffling, localization.
• mobile friendly with touch support for all question types.

1. Copy the content from demo/layouts/shortcodes/quizdown.html into your local layouts/shortcodes/ folder.
2. Add the quizdown.js to your project. For the hugo-learn theme you can copy the content of demo/layouts/partials/custom-header.html into your local layouts/partials/ folder.

Currently, the --minify flag of the hugo command causes issues with the raw quizdown-markdown code. Please remove the flag when building your website or use the following option in your config.toml:

[minify]
  disableHTML = true

Write quizzes in plain markdown in any of your files in the content directory:

# Hugo Quiz

{{< quizdown >}}

---
primary_color: orange
secondary_color: lightgray
text_color: black
shuffle_questions: false
---

## The sound of dog

---
shuffle_answers: false
---

What do dogs sound like?

> Some hint

- [ ] yes
- [ ] no
- [ ] `self.sound = "meow"`
- [x] wuff

## Put the [days](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day) in order!

> Monday is the *first* day of the week.

1. Monday
2. Tuesday
3. Wednesday
4. Friday
5. Saturday  
{{< /quizdown >}}

The quizzes are for fun and not for serious assessment. Since everything is rendered on the client side, the hints and solutions to the questions become visible once javascript is disabled in the browser.
