Markdownish syntax to instantly create simple interactive quiz apps for your static website.
I'm working on this project in my free time to learn more about modern web development and languages. This is a toy project and should not be used in serious projects for now.
🚀 Try the quizdown live editor
- supports markdown text formatting, images, syntax highlighting and math rendering.
- different quiz-types: single-choice, multiple-choice, sequence.
- support for hints and explanations.
- options for color theme, question shuffling, localization.
- can be easily included in any website, static site generator or other web projects.
- mobile friendly with touch support for all question types.
quizdown is easy to setup and best used in combination with existing static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo or Sphinx. Check out the extensions hugo-quiz and sphinxcontrib-quizdown.
To keep the bundle size low, syntax highlighting and math rendering are implemented in separate extensions that can be loaded and registered manually if needed:
<head>
...
<script src="./build/quizdown.js"></script>
<script src="./build/extensions/quizdownKatex.js"></script>
<script src="./build/extensions/quizdownHighlight.js"></script>
<script>
quizdown.register(quizdownKatex).register(quizdownHighlight).init();
</script>
...
</head>Write questions within a quizdown class (edit in the 🚀quizdown editor):
...
<div class="quizdown">
