Since no one else answered, I will take a stab at it. I am pretty sure that the problem is due to the text inside the drop elements are not being filtered by either the MathJax or Tex filters, so the text never gets turned into a picture. If this is correct, the code for the question type would have to be rewritten to make it work.
This is probably intentional. There are quite strict lmits on what can go in the drag items, becase if the content is not just one line of text, things can break.
It would be really good if this question type could be extended to cope with a wider range of content.
I actually had pretty good results using MathJax in the drag and drop text question before the filter was developed. To do this MathJax needs to be set up in the additional HTML setting. MathJax is reliable enough to not cause problems.
A better solution would be however to use the drag-and-drop matching question type if it fits the need. I believe that one does work with either filter.
Hello,
Kathrin and i (we are work colleagues) found a way to use Mathjax in Drag&Drop questions.
If you deactivate the Mathjax filter in your assessment and add following code to your question,
Mathjax code will be displayed:
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>
I know this isn't a good solution, but if you really need to display Mathjax in your D&D questions, it works
Best Regards
Kathrin and Ralf
FYI: The Method i described to use Mathjax in Drag&Drop-Questions works with Moodle 3.1, but doesn't work in Moodle 3.4
