In addition to the answer box placeholders, the Formulas question type provides for two other types of placeholder which are used for multiple choice questions:
- Dropdown menu placeholder
- Radio buttons placeholder
The syntax for this placeholder is {_n:choices:MCE} where _n is the placeholder name (_0, _1, _2, etc.) as for the answer box placeholders, choices is a list of strings to appear as the menu choices and MCE must appear as is.
