FAQ:

• How is the answer key read?

  Answer key is read on the second window which pops up once you click Done on the first widget.

  You can put spaces however you like. Those are ignored. Each new non space character is counted as an answer key.

  ABC A B C AB C are all equivalent and mean questions 1-3 have the correct answers A, B and C respectively.

• How do I pick more than one options for a question?

  Just type ABC with keyboard on the input field if you want to choose A, B and C options. Make sure you put a parenthesis around ABC when you provide the answer key on second window so that it counts as one response. Like so: (ABC)

  Also notice that there's a counter that helps you keep track of how many answer keys you've entered. The counter counts the entire parenthesis block as 1.

• How about numerical input?

  Same thing as above. Just type in the answers and put parenthesis around the correct answer on the second screen.

  A(1/2)B implies the correct answer for the second question is 1/2.
