CTAN Update: webquiz
by CTAN Announcements 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

Andrew Mathas submitted an update to the webquiz package. Version: 5.1 License: gpl3 Summary description: Write interactive web based quizzes Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WebQuiz: A LaTeX package for writing online quizzes WebQuiz makes it possible to use LaTeX to write interactive online quizzes. The quizzes are first written in LaTeX and then converted into HTML using WebQuiz, which is written in python. The conversion from LaTeX to HTML is done behind the scenes using TeX4ht. The idea is that you should be able to produce nice online quizzes using WebQuiz and basic knowledge of LaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/webquiz Note: Due to a known bug in the software behind that page the link to the README file is currently not working. The file is however displayed correctly on https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/webquiz The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/webquiz/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
