WhizQuiz© uses either double-slashes (//) or the pound sign (#) to indicate comments. A WhizQuiz© comment is used to include information in a quiz file for use by the authors or others but that will be ignored by WhizQuiz© and not displayed. To place a comment in a quiz file or to comment out a line of code, place one of the comment indicators at the beginning of each line to be ignored. Authors often number each question in the quiz file by including a commented line with the question number before each question. JavaScript comments are also indicated with double-slashes (//). This can occasionally cause a problem when JavaScript comments need to be included for functionality such as this when they are used in conjunction with HTML comments for hiding JavaScript from old browsers.

Beware that some text editors append a ".txt" extension to the filename when you save it. Be sure to remove that from the filename before you upload your quiz, otherwise your quiz will have the URL of :
When including URLs in WhizQuiz, follow the conventional syntax of:
You may use relative addressing of URLs only if you include a BASE tag in the Quiz Header.
