| 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
| |
|
| |
| ===Why make a FQT multiple choice question?===
| |
|
| |
| Because you can use all the power of the Formulas calculation engine to build the list of choices.
| |
|
| |
| ===Dropdown menu placeholder===
| |
|
| |
| The syntax for this placeholder is <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">{_n:choices:MCE}</span> where
| |
| <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_n</span> is the placeholder name (<span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_0</span>, <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_1</span>, <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">_2</span>, etc.) as for the answer box placeholders, <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">choices</span> is a list of strings to appear as the menu choices and
| |
| <span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:113%;">MCE</span> must appear as is.
| |
|
| |
| <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>
| |
|
| |
| Use a dropdown menu placeholder to make a multiple choice question.
