jqueryHow do I use jQuery Select2 to select multiple options?

To use jQuery Select2 to select multiple options, you need to use the multiple attribute in the select tag. The multiple attribute allows the user to select more than one option from the dropdown list.

For example:

<select id="example" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1">Option 1</option>
    <option value="2">Option 2</option>
    <option value="3">Option 3</option>
    <option value="4">Option 4</option>
    <option value="5">Option 5</option>
</select>

Then, you need to initialize the Select2 plugin by using the following code:

$('#example').select2({
    placeholder: 'Select an option',
    multiple: true // allows multiple selection
});

After that, you can select multiple options by pressing the Ctrl key and clicking on the desired options.

The parts of the code are:

1. select tag with multiple attribute - defines the select box and allows multiple selection
2. select2 initialization - initializes the Select2 plugin
3. Ctrl key - allows multiple selection
