When the Exam Builder encounters a keyword in a section heading, it associates all subsequent material with that keyword until it encounters another keyword in another section heading. Otherwise, the Exam Builder ignores headings and heading levels entirely. In particular, the Exam Builder does not use a section heading containing a keyword to create a corresponding heading in the generated exam.
The Exam Builder recognizes these keywords when they occur in headings:
| Keyword | Effect |
|---|---|
| Answer | Begins the correct answer to a question |
| Assignment | Identifies a file as an Exam Builder source file |
| Choices | Begins the list of possible answers for a multiple-choice question |
