Creating .edu files

There are two different ways to create questions that can be uploaded to EduBase: with a predefined Excel sheet or with .edu files. In this article we will discuss .edu files, which are text based files that can be edited by any text editor, however it's recommended to use a program that supports LaTeX syntax highlighting.

An empty .edu file can be downloaded from here.

The file is divided into sections, which are denoted amidst % signs, in example:

%------LANGUAGE------%
%------QUESTION!------%
%------ANSWER!------%
...

Categories marked with an exclamation mark (!) are mandatory to fill in, like "QUESTION!" and "ANSWER!" here. Without these the system will be unable to upload the question.
