Multiple Choice Question
Action Description
Title The Title is used to create a distinctive header for a question. You do not have to include a Title.
Enable Structured Text Support This will turn structured text support on. This should be the default for everyone but the most advanced users. STX is a collection of easy to understand shortcuts for styling your content. Help with STX is available by selecting the icon.
Question This is what the public will see on your web site. It should be phrased so that the Answers/Choices make sense. It can ask a question or be a fill-in-the-blank style. By using STX you can include style instructions that will work no matter where your content is displayed - even if its used on sites that have totally different look-and-feels. Warning - by unchecking the "Enable STX" checkbox you can include advanced HTML tags. Be very careful as errors may render the page unusable.
