I'm trying to make a short answer question saying:
"what sort of hypothesis predicts no difference in the DV between conditions?"
with the correct answer being "null" or "null hypothesis", but I think PHP has difficulty with "null" and I get an error saying the answer could not be inserted. Is there a way of getting around this (like using quotes around it or something) or will this always be impossible?

This bug is now fixed in 1.7 beta+. Sadly, there is no way to fix it on the 1.6 stable branch.
Thanks Tim,
It's not a big issue, so I'll just wait for 1.7 and add the question then.
cheers,
Matt
I would still suggest that you post a bug report on this to the tracker. Even if the external module can't be fixed for 1.6, perhaps the word "null" can be escaped in an appropriate way during pre-processing, perhaps by doing what I did above and putting it in quotes, or something.
Let me see...nu11 hypothesis , no. nu|| hyphothesis, no. nuII hypothesis, Yes! It seems that capital I is the same shape as an l in the arial font. This is a row of capital I's and small l's.

So as long as the user is not using custom fonts or text to speech, and you display the questions in airial font then the same pixels can be displayed.
What is the correct answer? {
=<font face="arial">the nuII hypothesis</font>
~<font face="arial">another hypothesis</font>
}
The other option is an image.
