Overview

When building a Quiz in the LXP, the nature of each question depends on the choice types it uses. Eight choice types are available:
Custom option parameter separators — the standard format uses ; (semicolon) between parameters, = (equals) for values, and , (comma) inside lists. To override the separators, start the options string with the <; = ,> notation, e.g. <| = ,>rows=1|label_width=0%|prompt=Enter Text Here.
