උදවු:Quizzes
Interactive quizzes and exams are a great way for readers to test their knowledge, see what they have learned, and check their progress as they read a book.
Quiz usage සංස්කරණය
Books are intended to help people learn new things, and quizzes can be used to complement and improve the educational usefulness of a book. However, any work intended to only test a person's existing knowledge belongs at Wikiversity.
Help Guide සංස්කරණය
Thanks to the contribution of users from Wikiversity, a complex tutorial, on building your quizzes, is provided below.
The quiz tag සංස්කරණය
This is how to insert a quiz into your Wikibook.
wikitext (what you write) |
rendering (what you see) |
comments | |
---|---|---|---|
<quiz> |
|
The quiz tags do the following:
Theoretically, it is possible to put quiz tags around each individual question, allowing a learner to mark each one in turn. Shuffling questions: if the shuffle questions button is shown, the questions can be shuffled by clicking the button. This only works so long as the quiz-taker has not started to answer the questions. Once the quiz-taker starts answering, the order is locked. | |

Inserting questions සංස්කරණය
The types of questions available are shown below.
An important point is that each question must be separated by a blank line, otherwise they are merged together into one question.
How to use the examples සංස්කරණය
In the examples on this page, there is both wikitext and rendering. The wikitext shows you the code, which you can copy and paste into your pages, or just learn and understand. The rendering shows you what the result will look like.
Copying and pasting සංස්කරණය
The markup has been slightly simplified in order to help understanding. If you copy and paste, you must insert <quiz> tags before and after the markup. You may wish to use the quiz tags with the "display=simple" option as shown above.
Note that the actual example below also use tables for clarity. If a quiz is inserted into a table, this modifies the appearance of a quiz - for example, boxes appear around some elements in the quiz. If you don't use a table, these boxes disappear and your quiz will look plainer.
When pasting, ensure that all the symbols are aligned with the left of the page - i.e. if any line begins with a space, formatting errors may occur.
Live demos සංස්කරණය
All the examples below should work. Don't be afraid to try them out. Hitting the correction button is OK - it won't change or damage this page.

Troubleshooting සංස්කරණය
- You cannot test out the quiz while editing a page, because the submit button is grayed out. If you wish to test your new quiz, then create a sandbox page somewhere else first (e.g. as a subpage of your user page), then test the quiz there, and finally transfer the quiz to its final location (and test it again anyway).
- The quiz was developed for IE6, IE7, Firefox (and Opera?), but display quality on Opera may not be optimal, and there may be display differences between browsers.
- A reminder: each question must be separated by a blank line, otherwise the questions are merged together into one question.
