Question Intros in WatuPRO

From version 6.6.0.5 the quiz plugin WatuPRO supports question intros. They are most useful when you want to include some introduction content which is not technically a part of the question. Usually you’d use it in non-randomized quizzes to explain one or more following questions.

Create your intro content at the beginning of the question:

Creating the question intro

Use the {{{split}}} tag to separate the intro from the question itself. When the question is shown in the front-end,  the intro content will be displayed before it:

Intro on the front-end

What about randomized tests?

If you have to do this for quizzes that randomize questions you will need to ensure the group of questions stays together. To achieve this use question categories and place the groups in the same category. Enable the checkbox “Group questions by category” in Edit quiz -> General Settings tab.

Because in this case you don’t know which question will be first, use the category description for your introduction text instead of using the {{{split}}} tag explained above. The category description will be shown before the first question of that category similar to the question intro content.
