Every question must begin with a mode statement. Using the mode statement, EDU formats the question on the page.
Different question types require different fields in their definition. For example, you must specify every choice for a multiple choice question as a choice.i field, whereas for a formula question you specify only the correct numeric answer.
The question type is entered in the mode field. The question type specification can be all lower-case letters or have inital upper-case letters. For example, the following line would designate the fifth question in topic 3 as multiple choice:
qu.3.5.mode=multiple choice@
The following table lists all the EDU question types and their corresponding mode strings.
