A hugo shortcode for writing quizzes with a markdown-like syntax, called quizdown.
🚀 See the demo based on the hugo learn theme or try the interactive quizdown live editor.
- supports markdown text formatting, images and syntax highlighting.
- different quiz-types: single-choice, multiple-choice, sequence.
- support for hints and explanations.
- options for color theme, question shuffling, localization.
- mobile friendly with touch support for all question types.
- Copy the content from
demo/layouts/shortcodes/quizdown.html
into your locallayouts/shortcodes/
folder. - Add the
quizdown.js
to your project. For the hugo-learn theme you can copy the content ofdemo/layouts/partials/custom-header.html
into your locallayouts/partials/
folder.
Currently, the --minify
flag of the hugo command causes issues with the raw quizdown-markdown code. Please remove the flag when building your website or use the following option in your config.toml
:
[minify]
disableHTML = true
Usage (edit example in 🚀 quizdown editor)

The quizzes are for fun and not for serious assessment. Since everything is rendered on the client side, the hints and solutions to the questions become visible once javascript is disabled in the browser.
