4.1.4 block [(type=[multiplechoice|shortanswer|trufalse] rearrange=[yes|no])]

All exercises are composed by at least one block/endblock unit. Blocks are by default composed by multiplechoice questions and options are rearranged. Options are given inside brackets right after block. Using the type option the block can be declared (this is needed if the block is shortanswer or true/false, and can be optionally specified for multiplechoice). The format is type=[multiplechoice|shortanswer|truefalse]. With the rearrange option questions within the block will be rearrraged at random or not. The format is rearrange=[yes|no].

Example of blocks

     block
     question
     The binomial coefficient ${n \choose k}$ equals
     . ${n \choose n-k}$.
     . $0$ if $k=0$.
     : The previous two answers are incorrect.
     endquestion
     endblock

This is equivalent to:

     block (type=multiplechoice rearrange=yes)
     question
     The binomial coefficient ${n \choose k}$ equals
     . ${n \choose n-k}$.
     . $0$ if $k=0$.
     : The previous two answers are incorrect.
     endquestion
