Basic Usage

#examst-set(
  render-question-counter: it => numbering("1.", it.get().last()),
)

#question(points: 10)[Why is there air?]
#question(points: 15)[Explain gravity.]
#question(points: 20)[What is energy?]

#align(center, points-table())

Horizontal Layout

#examst-set(
  render-question-counter: it => numbering("1.", it.get().last()),
)

#question(points: 10)[Why is there air?]
#question(points: 15)[Explain gravity.]
#question(points: 20)[What is energy?]

#align(center, points-table(orientation: "horizontal"))

With Score Column

#examst-set(
  render-question-counter: it => numbering("1.", it.get().last()),
)

#question(points: 10)[Why is there air?]
#question(points: 15)[Explain gravity.]
#question(points: 20)[What is energy?]

#align(center, points-table(score: true))

Custom Labels (Localization)

#examst-set(
  render-question-counter: it => numbering("1.", it.get().last()),
)

#question(points: 10)[Warum gibt es Luft?]
#question(points: 15)[Erklären Sie die Schwerkraft.]

#align(center, points-table(
  score: true,
  labels: (
    question: "Aufgabe",
    points: "Punkte",
    score: "Note",
    total: "Summe",
  ),
))

Overflow Splitting

For exams with many questions, split the table into manageable groups:

// Vertical: splits side-by-side
#align(center, points-table(max-per-group: 5))

// Horizontal: stacks vertically
#align(center, points-table(
  orientation: "horizontal",
  max-per-group: 5,
))
