This page describes the style for writing tasks.

Here are a few recommendations while writing a task:

Same tools and words

Make sure that you achieve the task with the exact same tools as a normal author, this means using ActiveMath-SVN and jEditOQMath Make sure you use the same wording as can be seen in these user-interfaces

Typography

• use fixed width font to denote what has to be input by the user, in markdown, use the back-quote for this `.
• use italics to denote what the user choose from their user-interface, in markdown, surround things with underscore _.

Organization

• make sure each task declares the tasks it depends on (and links to them)
• make sure each task declares the applications it is using
• separate each step as a bullet item (use a line starting with a dash for that, -)
• make sure each slightly difficult step is followed by a check of what should happen

A test ? Make a video and see if that works well.
