A crossword exercise looks like this:

How to make it:

In the text field input area you must create a table where each cell represents a cell in the crossword. In the cell, choose between;

  • leaving it empty: this will result in a black cell.

  • inserting one character: this will be a white cell.

  • inserting one character with a reference: this will be a white cell with a reference.
    The reference must be preceded with a - for horizontal and/or a | for vertical.

  • optionally, you can add a placeholder between curly braces, like {a}.For example:

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>r{r} - The lowest value in a set of numbers through the highest value in the set</td>
<td>a|The horizontal and vertical number lines used in a graph</td>
<td>n</td>
<td>g</td>
<td>e</td>
</tr>
<tr>
