I am using the quiz module to try and create an algebra quiz.  However, I'm having problems using the text editor.  I can use it in the question section but can't use it in the correct answer section.  For example, I want to use exponents.  I was able to create a question using the subscript/superscript in the text editor but when I went to the correct answer box, the subscript/superscript characters wouldn't work.  I had the same problem with Hot Potato quizzes.  Any suggestions from other algebra teachers??

There are several things you could do, including:

If you have the algebra and/or Tex filters activated, you can type $$$x^2+3x-5$$$ and when the quiz is viewed it will appear as: $$x^2+3x-5$$

You can type HTML directly into the answer area: x<sup>2</sup>+3x-5

You can compose your answer in the question area using the text editor, toggle to HTML Source (using the <> button) and then cut the HTML from the question area and paste into the answer area.
