Documentation:How to Use the Question template

This documentation will show you how to use the question template The question template is used in various pages including DIY Media.

The template will help you create an accordion-style question box. When users click on the question box, they will be able to reveal the content. This is useful when you are adding an open assessment style quiz to the wiki (i.e. Students can check the answer to the quiz by clicking on the "show answer" tab) or making the content easier to read for users.

How the Question template works

To use this template, insert the following code to the page:

{{{Question_Template|box1|title=title here|collapsed=yes}} 

In order to use the Question template, you will first need to create a subpage. In this subpage, you will be adding the content. For example, you are using the question template on the Documentation:DIYScreencast page. I will be creating a subpage called Documentation:DIYScreencast/Plan, and add the answer to the quiz on this subpage.

• box1 = Is where you will be inserting the title of the subpage. For example, if you created a subpage called DocumentationDIYScreencast/Plan, then the your name of the subpage is Plan.
• title= title here - is the text that it will be displayed on the question template. For example, Step1:Create a Screencast
