:bar_chart: Here’s how it works :bar_chart:

Single (default)

The simplest poll you can make is a single choice poll.

You just need a list surrounded by the [poll] BBCode tag [/poll]. 

[poll]
 - Option A
 - Option B
 - Option C
[/poll]

This will produce the following poll:

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

0voters

Multiple

If you want to allow multiple choices, you only need to add "type=multiple" to the tag, like so:

[poll type=multiple]
 - Option A
 - Option B
 - Option C
 [/poll]

This will produce the following poll (note the help text)

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

0voters

You may choose up to 3 options.

Multiple (with options)

If you want to limit the number of selected options in a multiple choices poll, you can do so using both "min" and "max" arguments:

 [poll type=multiple min=1 max=2]
 - Option A
 - Option B
 - Option C
 [/poll]

This will produce a multiple choice polls allowing up to 2 different options:

  • Option A
  • Option B
  • Option C

0voters

You may choose up to 2 options.
