Write, edit, review or convert content into QnA Markup, the plain-text language (Q:, A:, X:, DOC:, GOTO:) that www.qnamarkup.org turns into interactive question-and-answer interviews, guided forms, decision trees and document assemblers. Use whenever someone asks for "a QnA", QnA Markup, an interactive interview or decision tree they can run in a browser, or asks to encode a process, checklist, policy, FAQ or document as questions and answers.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# QnA Markup

QnA Markup is a plain-text language. A `.txt` file of it, pasted into the editor at
https://www.qnamarkup.org/, becomes a chat-style interview: the visitor is shown one question at a
time, answers by clicking a button or typing, and is led down a branch you wrote. It was made for
legal-aid style guided interviews, but it is a general decision-tree / guided-form language.

## What to produce

Produce **plain text**, indented with **tabs**, saved or offered as a `.txt` file (or shown in a
code block). Never a table, never Markdown bullets, never HTML around it. A minimal QnA:

```
Title: Is it a weekend?
Q: What day is it?
A: Saturday
	Q: Then it's the weekend.
A: Sunday
	Q: Then it's the weekend.
A: Something else
	Q: Then it's a weekday.
```

## Workflow

1. **Understand the process** before writing. Find the decision points (each becomes a `Q` with `A`
   buttons), the facts to collect (each an `X` text field), the outcomes (leaf questions with no
   answers), and any text to generate (`DOC:`). Ask the person, briefly, if something essential is
   unclear; otherwise make sensible assumptions and say what they were.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add colarusso/qnamarkup/qna-markup@sha256:47b4952133af089b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.026b290, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
