The captcha tag will usually be embedded in an existing <form>. It will only generate the question (using a template) and two <input> HTML-tags that will accept the answer and pass a hash of the correct answer to the server.

Perl interface

It's very easy to add a captcha-check to your plugins:

        my $template = use_plugin 'template';
        
        if ((use_plugin 'captcha')->check()) {
                #captcha solved!
                #your code...
        } else {
                #captcha not solved!
                #e.g. put error message and ask again:
                $self->add_node($template->node('error_message.template'));
                $self->add_node($template->node('template_with_input_form_and_captcha_tag.template'));
        }
