I've been having a trouble uploading quiz questions in GIFT format that contain LaTeX. I've established that the issue is that curly braces in the LaTeX are being parsed as starting the answer. For example,
$$\frac{1}{2x}$$ ... {=answer ~wrong answer}
would be interpreted as being a short answer question and part of the LaTeX code would be stripped, leaving $$\frac{2x}$$ etc. Is there a way to escape LaTeX's braces? Alternatively, is there another question format that will let me write different types of questions in a text file that doesn't use braces?
