Enable using computer code with syntax highlighting

complete

Lex Nederbragt

I'd like to ask multiple-choice questions on computer code, e.g. python. It would help if both questions and answers could be formatted (indentation, for example) and have syntax highlighting.

Hi,
You can now use one ` sign before and after the text you want styled as code in question title fields & paragraph text. Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Maja

Maja Jakobsson: This appears to work only in the questions. In the answers it shows the literal ` marks. Here's a screenshot. Will this be made to work in the answers as well?

By the way math formatting using LaTeX is the same way -- formats correctly in the questions but shows the literal $ delimiter in the answers.

Robert Talbert: Hi Robert, thanks for your question!
We ran into some technical issues with implementing math/code in the answer options since they are rendered in a different way. We've done some investigation but haven't yet found a solution for it.
Please feel free to create a new post for adding this feature to the answer options as well! :)
