Display Multiple-Select Choices Horizontally or in Tables

By default, the choices for a multiple-select question are displayed as a vertical list. Sometimes, you might want to arrange the choices horizontally or in a table.

You can use the $SET_EACH_POSITION variable together with answer placeholder strings <_> to specify the location of each answer choice in your question.

Include an answer placeholder string <_> in Question for each choice.
Put the answer placeholder strings <_> where the choices should be displayed.
Start the first line of Answer with the following code:
```
<eqn $SET_EACH_POSITION=1; ''>
```
Note If you use the $ORDERED and $SET_EACH_POSITION variables together, you must specify $ORDERED first, and then $SET_EACH_POSITION.
