I have searched using every possible combination I can think of, but is there anyway to get an html editor in the question field for a MC question. I heard that it was possible, but didn't take good enough notes. I think it would make writing complex questions a little easier, both for myself and faculty. I know you can put in html tags, but it's tough to enter in one little tiny text block.
I am using 1.92
Thanks

You are right, it is there,
That'll teach me to pay a little better attention to what I am asking, I meant the answer field.

Vicke,
As it is, the MCQ question editing screen is already "cluttered" with about 10 HTML editors, which means the whole thing takes up 3 screens (in Moodle 2.0). Please let's have less HTML editor windows, not more!
If you must have HTML formatting in your MCQ answers text (and I admit it can be quite useful) then there is a simple workaround. Type your answer text in the next available Feedback HTML editor, in WYSIWYG mode, switch to HTML code view, copy and paste the code into your answer text box. Unfortunately those answer boxes are really short, I don't know why they don't spread the whole length of the questions editing window.

I can understand not wanting to see so many boxes, it is an annoyance and it would be really helpful to be able to set the default number of choices on a MC question to 4 or 5, but the workaround, which I have used, is somewhat cumbersome, and really confusing to faculty.
If we have to stick to a workaround, it's actually easier to type the answer in html using TextEdit or equiv. and then copy and paste. But that would be even harder to teach faculty, and as soon as I started talking about using html code, people would break out in hives.

Yes, I know this scenario.
