Description: Automatic generation of exams based on exercises in
        Markdown or LaTeX format, possibly including R code for dynamic
        generation of exercise elements. Exercise types include
        single-choice and multiple-choice questions, arithmetic
        problems, string questions, and combinations thereof (cloze).
        Output formats include standalone files (PDF, HTML, Docx, ODT,
        ...), Moodle XML, QTI 1.2, QTI 2.1, Blackboard, Canvas,
        OpenOlat, ILIAS, TestVision, Particify, ARSnova, Kahoot!,
        Grasple, and TCExam. In addition to fully customizable PDF
        exams, a standardized PDF format (NOPS) is provided that can be
        printed, scanned, and automatically evaluated.
