When you're writing a Leanpub course, you can create "Exercises".
"Exercises" are sets of questions that people can complete, but that do no contribute to their grade, or completion of the course; that's what "Quizzes" are for.
You create an Exercise like this:
{exercise, id: exercise1}
? How many letters are in the word Markua?
a) 5
B) 6
c) 7?
{/exercise}
In the online course, people will see a "Try the exercises" link where you place an Exercise. (Again, in Markua, an "Exercise" is actually a *set* of exercises questions; the student will think of those questions as "the exercises".
Because of the way the "Try the exercises" links are displayed, you DON'T want to write single questions in each Exercise, and do multiple Exercises one after the other.
So, don't do it like this:
{exercise, id: exercise1}
? How many letters are in the word Markua?
a) 5
B) 6
c) 7?
{/exercise}
{exercise, id: exercise2}
? How many unique letters are in the word Markua?
A) 5
b) 6
c) 7?
{/exercise}This is how those Exercises would appear in the online course:
Instead, combine the questions into one Exercise, like this:
{exercise, id: exercise1}
? How many letters are in the word Markua?
a) 5
B) 6
c) 7?
? How many unique letters are in the word Markua?
A) 5
b) 6
c) 7?
{/exercise}OK, that's it!
