Fill-in-the-blank

Fill-in-the-blank questions let the reader type their answer. Wrap the expected answer in double square brackets:

The capital of France is [[Paris]].

Answers are case-insensitive and surrounding whitespace is trimmed, so “Paris”, “ paris “ and “PARIS” all pass.

Multiple blanks

Section titled “Multiple blanks”

A question can have several blanks; every one must be correct:

Water is made of hydrogen and [[oxygen]], with the chemical formula [[H2O]].

Content section

Section titled “Content section”

Because there is no answer list to mark the boundary, a fill-in-the-blank quiz uses a horizontal rule (---) to separate the question from a content section that is revealed after submitting:

The chemical symbol for gold is [[Au]].

“Au” comes from the Latin aurum, meaning “shining dawn”.
