Although this is not (not yet?) specifically provided for in the questions edit form, it is possible to add html tags to answers (Choices) e.g. in the multiple choice questions. One can need formatting tags (bold, italics), nolink tags* or even inserting images in those choices.

When the question is displayed to the student, the HTML tags are correctly evaluated and the formatting / nolinks / images are displayed as expected.

However, on the Review and Statistics pages, the raw HMTL code is displayed, which does not look so nice. See attached example (images).

Just noticed that the very same problem applies to the display of Essays. The Essay text is displayed once correctly formatted and then raw text with HTML tags is displayed in the Grade and Close lines...

That's a bug. Not sure how easy it is to fix in 2.0. It is fixed properly in the new question engine that will be in 2.1, so I don't know if I can be bothered to spend much time on it in 2.0.

In a similar vain when editing a 'matching question type' It doesn't appear possible to embed html or any tex. I wanted to display the hydrocarbon CH4, but neither of the following displays the symbol.

<p>CH<sup>4</sub></p>

or $ $CH_{4}$$

You have a typo, so try:  <p>CH<sub>4</sub></p>

 

I have never had trouble writing formulas in Quiz questions or their answers.

For the 2.1 quiz reports, all responses are converted to plain text (using Moodle's html_to_text function). This replaces images with their alt text. Since all images should have an alt="" attribute, for reasons of accessibility, and the HTML editor encourages you to add this, that seems OK to me.

This means that you get exactly the same thing displayed in the reports on-screen, and when downloaded to Excel.

That sounds reasonable to me too.
