## Installation

Install the package with pip:

```bash
pip install mkdocs-quiz
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Enable the plugin

Add the plugin to your `mkdocs.yml`:

```yaml
plugins:
  - mkdocs_quiz
```

### 2. Add your first question

Create a quiz with radio buttons (only one correct answer):

```markdown
<quiz>
What is 2+2?
- [x] 4
- [ ] 3
- [ ] 5

Correct! Basic math is important.
</quiz>
```

Use `- [x]` for correct answers and `- [ ]` for incorrect answers.
If multiple answers are correct, checkboxes instead of radio buttons will be shown (the user has to select all correct answers).

### 3. Intro text and results

Insert these placeholder comments for some intro text with a reset button and a final results panel (which shoots confetti when you finish):

```html
<!-- mkdocs-quiz intro -->

..quiz content here..

<!-- mkdocs-quiz results -->
```
