To do
-----
Rather than a to-do list, here are some possible future improvements:
- (?) improve quiz "security" (would be a side-effect of moving to vue...)
- (?) randomise order of questions parts with document-class option randomorder
- (?) allow variables in questions (hardest part is finding a good syntax)
- (?) rewrite javascript to use vue to render and control quiz pages
- (?) allow vertical/horizontal/none customisations of question buttons
- (?) record marks of students...would need a interface for login details etc
- (?) add timer and/or time limits to quiz
- (?) responsive columns to replace columns=? in choice environments
- (?) dynamic themes (easy)
- (?) dynamic languages (harder)
