Creating a Poll in v1.3

The poll plugin allows you to create topics with polls in them. For information on polls in v1.2 and earlier, see Poll Plugin Usage.

Setting up a poll in v1.3

Once you've entered your title, all you need to do is wrap a list with [poll][/poll] in your post. Nothing else is needed, not even a special hint in the title like in v1.2 or earlier. Polls can be added to any post within a topic, and you can add multiple polls to your post. See http://blog.discourse.org/2015/08/improved-polls-in-discourse/ for further information.

Here is a short example for a singular poll in a post:

[poll]
 - This is useful
 - This is pointless
 - I like tacos
[/poll]

To add multiple polls to your post, you need to specify the name parameter:

[poll name=examplePoll]
 - This is useful
 - This is pointless
 - I like tacos
[/poll]
