<<*AskOptions* . . . When you create an <<*AskOptions* list, you can assign a default value by placing a hashtag ('#') in front of the selection(s) you want to be checked when the selection screen is displayed. Yes, you can mark more than one of the options, and all will be pre-selected.This allows you to create a bespoke document, make all 'normal' selections, but still have the flexibility to uncheck a prechecked selection, and select another (or others). <<*AskOptions*!fruit!Apples/#Bananas/Cherries/#Dates>>
<<*AskOptional* . . . By default, the presentation of an <<*AskOptional* question is unchecked/unselected. You can tell Pathagoras to pre-select the optional element. But unlike the above, the hashtag is placed at the end of the question. E.g., <<*AskOptional*!freedelivery!Free delivery of widgets?#*>>
