Installation

Install the package with pip:

pip install mkdocs-quiz

Quick Start

1. Enable the plugin

Add the plugin to your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - mkdocs_quiz

2. Add your first question

Create a quiz with radio buttons (only one correct answer):

<quiz>
What is 2+2?
- [x] 4
- [ ] 3
- [ ] 5

Correct! Basic math is important.
</quiz>

Use - [x] for correct answers and - [ ] for incorrect answers. If multiple answers are correct, checkboxes instead of radio buttons will be shown (the user has to select all correct answers).

3. Intro text and results

Insert these placeholder comments for some intro text with a reset button and a final results panel (which shoots confetti when you finish):

<!-- mkdocs-quiz intro -->

..quiz content here..

<!-- mkdocs-quiz results -->

CLI Quiz Runner

Take quizzes directly in your terminal:

# Interactive mode - select from discovered quizzes in the current repository
# (you can also use `mkdocs-quiz` instead of `quiz`)
quiz

# Run from a website URL
quiz run https://ewels.github.io/mkdocs-quiz/multiple-choice/

# Run a specific file
mkdocs-quiz run docs/quiz.md
