== My first formulas question ==
To create a '''Formulas question''', five required fields, identified by ❗ or ✱, must be completed:
 
<pre style="font-size:113%;width: 98%;">
General
  Question name ❗
Main question
  Question text ❗
Part 1
  Part's mark✱
  Answer✱
  Grading criteria✱
</pre>
 
<div style="border:1px solid #bce8f1;border-radius:4px;padding: 0px 15px 0px; margin:20px 0 25px;">
<div style="font-family:Lucida Sans Unicode;font-size:113%;color:#6c336d;margin:10px 0 10px;> Example</div>
 
Create your first formulas question as follows:
 
<pre style="font-size:113%;">
General
  Question name ❗      My first formulas question
Main question
  Question text ❗      What is 3 + 4?
Part 1
  Part's mark✱        1
  Answer✱              7
  Grading criteria✱    Absolute errror == 0
</pre>
 
Congratulations, you have just created your first question!
 
The "Editing a formulas question" page should look like this:
 
(Image coming soon)
 
and the formulas question that was just created should look like this:

== Subquestions ==
If there is more than one question in a question, we will call them subquestions. It is then necessary to define the mark, answer and grading criteria in a part for each subquestion.
=== Example ===
<pre>
General
  Question name*      Formulas question with three subquestions
Main question
  Question text*      What is 3 + 4?
                      What is 4 + 5?
                      What is 5 + 5?
                      Please enter your answers below in the same order as the questions.
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute errror == 0
Part 2
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              9
  Grading criteria*    Absolute errror == 0
Part 3
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              10
  Grading criteria*    Absolute errror == 0
</pre>

== Single question ==
We begin by considering the simple case of a single question. We will see how the text of the question can be placed in the Main question, or in a Part if we treat the question as a subquestion. Better yet, we will show how to use a placeholder.
=== Question text in the Main question ===
The most basic form of a formulas question is having the text of the question in the Question text field of the Main question section. To create such a simple formulas question, you must complete at least all the required fields, that is, the five below marked with an asterisk:
 
General
  Question name*
Main question
  Question text*
Part 1
  Part's mark*
  Answer*
  Grading criteria*
 
==== Example ====
Create your first formulas question as follows:
 
General
  Question name*      My first formulas question
Main question
  Question text*      What is 3 + 4?
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
 
Congratulations, you just created your first formulas question! The "Editing a formulas question" page should look like this:
 
[[File:FormulasTutorialQuestion01a.png|400px|thumb|center]]
and the formulas question should look like this:
 
[[File:FormulasTutorialQuestion01b.png|400px]]
 
=== Question text in a Part ===
For a single question, it makes almost no difference if the question text is put in the Main question or in a Part.
 
==== Example ====
Modify the previous example and place the text of the question this time in the Part's text field of Part 1:
 
General
  Question name*      Question text in Part 1
Main question
  Question text*      A question on the addition
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute errror == 0
  Part's text          What is 3 + 4?
 
The formulas question should look like this:
 
[[File:FormulasTutorialQuestion01c.png|400px]]
 
Notice that some text has to appear in the Question text field of the Main question because this is a required field.
 
=== Using a placeholder===
Placeholders are used to insert the text of subquestions in the Main question. We will see later that they are very convenient. Note that each subquestion being assigned to a part, we will use interchangeably the terms subquestion and part.
==== Example ====
Modify the previous example and use a placeholder to insert the text of the subquestion in the main question:
 
General
  Question name*      Using a placeholder
Main question
  Question text*      A question on the addition
                        {#01}
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
  Placeholder name    #01
  Part's text          What is 3 + 4?
 
The formulas question will look the same as in the previous example.
 
 
 
----
 
== Multiple questions, i.e. subquestions==
If there is more than one question in a formulas question, we will treat them as subquestions. It is then necessary to define the mark, answer and grading criteria in a part for each subquestion.
=== Without placeholders===
If you don't use subquestion placeholders, the answer boxes of the subquestions will simply be stacked one above the other.
==== Example ====
Create a formulas question that has three sub-questions. Do not use placeholders.
 
General
  Question name*      A formulas question with three subquestions
Main question
  Question text*      What is 3 + 4?
                        What is 4 + 5?
                        What is 5 + 5?
                        Please enter your answers below in the same order as the questions:
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
Part 2
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              9
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
Part 3
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer*              10
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
 
The formulas question should look like this:
 
[[File:FormulasTutorialQuestion02.png|450px]]
 
Obviously, we can do better by placing the three questions each one in a part.
