Manually creating a poll
While the poll builder is the easiest option, it is also possible to manually create and edit polls within the composer itself.
To create a simple poll, surround a markdown list with [poll] and [/poll]:
[poll]
* option one
* option two
* option three
[/poll]
Any markdown list will work, including using hyphens
-or numbers instead of asterisks*.
This will create the following result:
- option one
- option two
- option three
0
voters
To manually create more complex polls, additional parameters can be added to the poll tag. For instance:
[poll type=multiple results=on_vote min=1 max=2 public=true chartType=pie groups=trust_level_1 close=3024-12-31T00:00:00.000Z]
# Do you like polls?
* Yes
* No
* Maybe
[/poll]
Do you like polls?
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
0
voters
(Though not all options will make sense for all polls
)
Using the poll builder is a great way to find out the format of these additional parameters for later use.
